damiso: How's the exercise regime going. Days are longer, mornings are still cool, so squeezing in a 45 min - 1 hr morning run is a breeze. Sooooo refreshing. Hadn't been running consistently and was worried I might have shin splints or wobbly knees after hibernating but thankfully none of those. |

EfemenaXY: I guess once a runner always a runner. I have restricted running to once a week oooo. That was what robbed me of my assets I don't want to be MO Farah jare. On a serious note though I do more of power walking/strength training these days. 3 days weight/strength/resistance training and 2 days cardio split into one day high intensity which is either running/HIIT /Kick boxing/Box Fit and 1 day low intensity I.e. dancing,walking, etc etc. And 2 days rest is a must for me. Exercise is now more a keep fit thing these days and so I have to mix it up as the 'lose weight' motivation is no longer there. I struggle on some days( you know how it is working full time, family other interests ) but I guess its now a habit. I don't even want to lose any more weight sef and I find running makes me drop kgs/pounds FAAAST. |

Hi, everyone. Read these page through from start to finish. Wonder why I am just seeing this. Well. I started my weight loss journey over 11months ago. May 2 would make it a year now...would have lost the kg faster than that but I kinda got stuck on my scale October-Dec.... I have lost 30kg and at my ideal BMI now. I want to resume maintenance soon. Most likely in May (after I must have celebrated with loads of junk on May 2..lol). I think here is good for me. Can't remember all names but thanks for this thread, wish I had seen it earlier, but seems I was even stricter with my diet sef...thanks ALL. **pitching my tent here** 5 Likes |

Gentiejag: Pls do you mind sharing your routine. I took exercise serious last year November-December and lost 5kg(88-83). Waiting for school resumption to start my exercise again and healthy eating. |
Re: Paste Pics Of Your Healthy Meal Here. by Gentiejag(f): 8:14am On Apr 17, 2016 |
Mrs0J: I jog every morning...40 mins (couldn't spare more than those minutes because of work and my location). When I got stuck on my scale, I had to add skipping in the evenings to make it move. Started with 300 ropes then increased it with a 100 as the days passed... |
Re: Paste Pics Of Your Healthy Meal Here. by Nobody: 1:01pm On Apr 17, 2016 |
Mrs0J: You don't have to wait for school reopening before staring a regime. Just start it. Eat lots of green vegetables first before eating your starchy food. Eat the healthy stuff first before eating junks. Just little by little. For instance. These days I don't even check calories or exercise much but I make sure I get all my veges and friut on the table. It's a long time lifestyle not a seasonal one. The kids are now towing my path when they see the look on my face eating my veges. . The last time my girl was eating her green bean and dancing at same time. Start by making healthy stuff. Place it with other meals. Gradually the lifestyle will come to stay. It's up to you. If you cant stand the vegetables try eating them with hot spicy stew or sauce. That's how I started This time last yr I rarely eat veges but now... Infact my waste products are Usually green in color. 3 Likes |

Chillisauce: Lol at waste product. Thank you so much, such a boost I needed. Am starting tomorrow, will shop for veggies as well Happy Sunday. |

Gentiejag: Nice one, keep it up. Clothes I couldn't wear after my second child now fits in. Needs go shed more and then maintain it. My journey is long term, for life |

Ladies, was told my iron is low even though i have been on iron suppliment....and the doc is planning to have me go on BC (Mirena or nexplanon) I'm not really a fan and it's so confusing and draining. I'm so getting twisted with the side effects I read about (weight gain, mood swing, depression) etc I eat healthy so not sure what is going on. EfemenaXY, Chillisauce, Kimoni, damiso, Edwife etc |
Re: Paste Pics Of Your Healthy Meal Here. by Kimoni: 11:05am On Apr 19, 2016 |
armyofone: Does the issue stem from your genotype? I am AC and tend to have this issue during pregnancies or when I overwork myself but it normalizes once I start my iron supplements, take enough greens and give myself enough rest. Pls take enough greens and rest well. I'm sure you'll be just fine. |
Re: Paste Pics Of Your Healthy Meal Here. by EfemenaXY: 12:46pm On Apr 19, 2016 |
armyofone: I read somewhere or was told long ago (can't remember which), that we - most West African ladies - tend to be anemic anyway, but pregnancy exacerbates the condition. Also, having really heavy flows during your monthly cycle sort of "worsens" it. Don't worry, I've been there too. Infact my Iron levels were so low at one point I was put on an intense 4 month course of Ferrous Sulphates. You'll know when it gets bad 'cos you suddenly get this craving for really dry, dusty stuff - a condition called "PICA". I don't know about BC (Mirena or nexplanon) as I've never been put on them, but what I do know is that increasing your intake of dark green vegetables should help, plus Iron rich foods like red meat, plantains, etc. With the side effects you've just mentioned, I'd be worried too if I were in your shoes. Why not seek a second opinion? You never know what the result could be. In the meantime, keep eating clean, exercising and getting as much rest as you can. |
Re: Paste Pics Of Your Healthy Meal Here. by EfemenaXY: 12:52pm On Apr 19, 2016 |
Kimoni: You've just made me do a quick search on AC genotypes. AC? Didn't even know they existed. So does that mean when choosing spouses, those with AS genotypes should be off limits for AC's? I suppose so... |
Re: Paste Pics Of Your Healthy Meal Here. by Kimoni: 1:03pm On Apr 19, 2016 |
EfemenaXY: Yeah, off limits. The blood cells are 'C" in shape and not "S" otherwise they have the same characteristics though doctors say the "C" is somewhat stronger than the "S". Again, the "C" trait is found much more in the Caribbean, so you can guess where I truly come from but in the African continent, it's found more in Ghana. There are other funny shapes/alphabets actually. I didn't realize this too until I retook the test in UK and had to go for for counselling. I thought the Jamaican woman attending to me was counting A, B, C...when she was listing the other alphabets that existed. lol |
Re: Paste Pics Of Your Healthy Meal Here. by EfemenaXY: 1:11pm On Apr 19, 2016 |
Kimoni: I get you now. |
Re: Paste Pics Of Your Healthy Meal Here. by damiso(f): 2:50pm On Apr 19, 2016 |
armyofone: Efemenaxy and Kimoni have said all I wanted to say that you could do to help with anaemia i.e. resting and eating greens. I would also add that you eat fruits with a high vit C content i.e oranges,grapes, rasberries as my doctor advised that they aid with the absorption of iron. I had a really bad case of severe anaemia last year when I was doing a lot of high intensity exercises 6 days a week and also drastically cut down my calorie intake to about 800 calories a day . I was also eating lil or no carbs. I think I even shared it here and my GP really told me off and I had to take a few weeks off exercising sef cos I was really feeling dizzy and run down. Sometimes in the bid to be 'healthy' we can actually be eating 'not enough ' food '.. So maybe you should look at that as well i.e. are you eating enough to fuel the amount of exercise that you do? Carbs are really not the enemy that we once thought they were as long as you are eating the complex carbs like sweet potato,brown rice etc and not the processed ones. If not eating enough especially if you run alot maybe up your food/calorie intake a bit but still eat healthy. I know I felt better when I did. I also use this Supplement I get from Holland & Barrett( don't know if you can get this in the states) called Spatone. Its very good. http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/spatone-original-natural-iron-supplement-60080131 |

Kimoni: I have an uncle who is SC. Has similar traits to SS but if they take care of themselves could lead fairly healthy lives. He is now in his late forties. |
Re: Paste Pics Of Your Healthy Meal Here. by Kimoni: 3:01pm On Apr 19, 2016 |
damiso: Exactly what they say, that it's very possible in a lot of cases for SCs' to have little or no crises in their lifetime. |
Re: Paste Pics Of Your Healthy Meal Here. by Kimoni: 3:08pm On Apr 19, 2016 |
EfemenaXY: [size=4pt]Lol...let me look for trouble small [/size] Efe, how come the emboldened is the first point you mentioned? Just asking ooo lol Army, oya bianeba **open your eyes let me look deeply **open your palms, I need to observe something very important Hmnnnnn...babes, what have you been up to recently |
Re: Paste Pics Of Your Healthy Meal Here. by damiso(f): 3:09pm On Apr 19, 2016 |
Kimoni: Yes they can. He did use to have a lot of crises when he was much younger (mostly by wanting to do omo boy and not taking care of himself especially when he was in Uni) but as he grew older and was much more conscious of His health the crises are now far and in between. I am AS and also had to have counselling when pregnant as well. They insisted on testing hubby again o even when I kept telling them that he was AA. They said they needed to be sure as they had a lot of cases of couples lying about their genotype. |
Re: Paste Pics Of Your Healthy Meal Here. by damiso(f): 3:11pm On Apr 19, 2016 |
Kimoni: Na true Uhmm uhmm cough cough Army oya confess. Don't worry we wont tell anyone till after 12 week Scan |
Re: Paste Pics Of Your Healthy Meal Here. by Kimoni: 3:18pm On Apr 19, 2016 |
damiso: They must test again ooo I even made the mistake of telling them the initial tests were done in Naija...choi!! Big error She started telling me the history of how many wrong results that people have brought from Naija and was recounting the experiences one after the other...Hahahaha I had to shut her down by asking her to tell me how many wrong results they have also seen from Jamaica. It was later I realized after reading so many experiences of others that a lot of Naija hospitals truly make errors in telling people their correct genotype. Can't explain why. |
Re: Paste Pics Of Your Healthy Meal Here. by damiso(f): 3:24pm On Apr 19, 2016 |
Kimoni: Exactly the same thing they said to us as well especially when we said the tests were done in Naija. |
Re: Paste Pics Of Your Healthy Meal Here. by EfemenaXY: 4:01pm On Apr 19, 2016 |
Kimoni: Lol! Kimoni... |
