Thanks modath, i will definitly try to keep faith as i do the chest exercises, i really hopes it works, at the least the minimum firmness i can get. Its been somehow crampy these few days so no exercise still. Walked for 50 mins yesterday though, stretched a bit. None today too, but i should resume fully tomorrow, all things being equal. Meals was unnecessarily scanty yesterday, my mouth is voluntarily going on break, my tongue is tasteless and everything taste like sawdust and pepperish at the sametime. Take care @all

About the scale stuff, i think its very accurate cos i used my 4kg dbs ave been weighed severally. When i refer to firmness it has to do with the direction of the tits. When its still pointing forward and firm to grip, its in shape but when it starts pointing downwards and soft i think its the beginning of sagging.

@ genB, That part and my nose are the best part of my body, i know it and ave so adored them. That is why its a concern to me now since i think my friends are already noticing it too. I dont know if there are any firmness workout for me. I ll try though to intensify chest exercises, it should work for it. For today, its a crampy day so no exercise, but on the move for two hours, resting wen tired. 7.15am - 3 slices white bread and 1/2 mug of beverage + a cube sugar, 2pm - 2 handfuls of garri + 1 pc of fish, 7pm - 2 slices bread + 1 tspn spread, dinner - 1 cup beans.

@ Dr. Balogun, pls i need some medical advice, it all started with a slight sore throat last week and towards the end of the week i noticed some small rash-like stuff under my tongue, they were reddish but as at today my taste bud is totally dead. What can you recommend. Also a neighbour's daughter who is just 2 has always had ADENOIDS, she snores so heavily you wont beleive its coming from her, she normally has constant flu that refuses to go away no matter the antibiotics used. What can we do pls, she just started school and her teachers are not comfortable whenever she falls asleep in class. Thanks in advance

Thanks crystal. Modath/Romeo, pls can i know the effects of exercising on the breast? Can it make it softer and saggy? Ave noticed it since the this regime started. Could it be the weight loss? Cos ave always had it high and firm despite the size. Any advice from the whole house too?

20 mins taebo cardio, 4 mins warm up. 2 slices white bread sandwich + 1/2 glass zobo drink, 1 gala + 1 can soda, 1/2 cup rice + 5 dodo, dinner will be fist size pounded yam and okro soup

Good news!!! I think its exactly 80kg this morning, i know if am standing on a digital scale it will read something like 79.something kg cos its not exactly on 80. I dedicate this to modath and romeo, thank you for everything. Hmmmmmm, i cant wait to enter my 70s, take care all and happy loosing and staying healthy.

Hmmmmmm, i trust my oga. Thanks modath, i also thank God am not the only one with the sore throat. I am out, these legs feels like running after the eyes had read all that. Catcha!!!

Hi all, no internet connection tonight. Multilinks airtime has become gold o, no where to buy. Anyways am doing good. Exercise is still nil today, meals still in check and looking forward to resuming running tomorrow. @123, 16km is a whole lot o, i will surely post that here too someday soon, lol. @ romeo, nice to feel you around once again, i hope you will be done with whatever is in ur hands and come back here, we all miss you. @modath, thanks for the info, but how i so love new things, as in 'na me go tear the rubber' i ll chill till April ending, then i may give the chick a call. No excuse for not exercising other than general debility of the body (my father's grammar), i hope to also connect 2moro, all things being equal. A point to note i seem to be loosing 1kg in two weeks, is that not too little? What can i do to make 1kg per week? Thanks y'all

Thanks generalB

Interesting, prolly its d non availability of a god father that had made him clueless/unaware of what the country needs. He said there is no problem with the educational system of dis country, talking about health, he first talked of infrastructure and then bring in foreign what-i-dont-know and so on, see modath you dont need to blow big grammar before we know who is identified with us among these barons. Needful to say i just fell in love with Shekarau, he seems to be ready to try what he has done before and surely if worked before, it can still work now though in a larger community now. I thought general had ruled before (sorry i mean late idiagbon), he could still give us an instance of what worked then, maybe using it now on a wilder-more-exposed-to-corruption citizens, things will change. Am not a politician, but i really wish to make sense

Dont get it twisted o I am STRAIGHT, but honestly i fell in love with a girl i met in the cab just now. She is so muscular and all the guy's stuff, if not for her voice and her tiny stuff, you ll think she is a guy. Of course i later confirm my doubts, she is a pro footballer. How i imagined how little she thinks of fat and cholesterol and the rest of the story as it bothers me. So far today anyways is an 18 mins bootcamp, on the move (walking)for 1.5 hours.

Just finished a 24 mins taebo cardio, it was killing and then the leg. Modath pls what is the difference between billy blanks and this Jillian.

@ modath, you already making me excited about this whole shred stuff already. We shall surely get there. Take care dearie.

Birthday girl, so we are birthday mates. We are marching onto success this year. Send our sponge cake o, i hope its healthy enough sha. Regards to ur loved ones.

Nice to hear from you modath, i understand ur point but come what may we cant all be the same personality, so we need to understand ourselves and live in peace. If anyone has studied dis thread well, you will know dat MODATH will always be MODATH, a no nonsense who will never hide her thoughts no matter how hurtful. But i thought you changed dat anyways.

Am here with my rantings again o, its my heels now and it hurts so much i limp while walking. Am resting today but what do i do to hasten the healing of my left heel. And if i may ask what could have caused it. Modath and romeo i await ur comments. Thanks in advance.

25 mins brisk walking/4 mins jogging/3 mins stretching

@ oyin how much does that cost

@all sorry no post, trying to take care of myself and handle some personal stuff. I will definitely be back.

I think we need some motivational talk on this thread. The spirit is really down

Talking about changes, no changes yet but i feel am not creating enough deficit in the calories am consuming, so am not suprised if my weigh in is still stagnant. Give me some hard advice on my meals pls.

Hi everyone, hope you are all keeping on, everyone seems too quiet for comfort.

I have not been feeling motivated for the past three days now, i think i caught a cold along the way and its made my head rather heavy. I will take tomorrow off and i hope to get myself geared by Tuesday latest, pending then, stretching should be ok for me, what do you think modath & R4R?

modath:


@HG,
Took a look at the boot camp stuff its ''intense'' and similar to 30 DAY SHRED,way to go girl,work it!!!!!.

really, i was already thinking of asking you what stuff the dvd was like.

Thanks for asking romeo, its not swollen but painful when pressed, i ll try d ice pack as suggested but i think am giving it too much attention thats why its still painful. I will finish the remaining part of the bootcamp tonight and interval training tomorrow morning so the leg better hear and comply, lol.
