Hola, sorry have not been following the thread. What's your fitness goal? How much weight have u dropped since u found a program that worked for you. Maybe you cld post before and after pics without ur face of course.

^ Hey Greyfrog, my fitness goal for this month is to complete at least 1000 exercise minutes in October... so far so good.
I've not worked out for the past 3 or 4 months so there has been some weight gain. However i recently got my mojo back, got all fired up and decided to tackle it and get back into the swing of working out regularly.
I started on the 1st of October so I haven't weighed myself yet. Hoping to by the end of the month. Will update then.So I'm afraid no pics for now! Lol

Hi Romeo ,sorry I'm posting this here but I really need ur help.
I'm a skinny lady who needs to add weight. I've heard about Gnc products and I want to get one of their supplements, either Serious Mass or amplified Mass XXXX but first I want
to find out if it is healthy for me.

I am not an athlete, I don't work out. My metabolism is high and I burn fat
very fast,so I need to add supplements to my diet. So please are these supplements ok for a lady who doesn't work
out? Is it safe? And is it effective?

Please I would really appreciate ur response. God bless..

If you're struggling with motivation, try this:

Think about how you'll feel in an hour or two if you exercise - energised, happier, more relaxed, virtuous. Then think about how you'll feel if you don't - guilty, fat, lazy, and wound up (those are my feelings, you may feel different!).

Getting there now exercising 3x a week. . still working on the food. somedays are ok, other days not so nice.
Thanks for asking.

Let me clear the confusion on this issue. The basic arithmetic of weight loss is - Calories in vs Calories out. Yes, it is slightly more complex than this, but the formula is always a useful guide.
Simply put, the amount of exercise you do (calories burned) should be determined by the amount of calories you are ingesting (if you want to lose or maintain a specific weight).
Pro cyclists and triathletes comsume up to 5000 calories a day, but are not overweight nor fat, and can have a bodyfat percentage as low as 6%; this is because the intensity of their sport compensates for this intake of calories, and the calories are needed as fuel.
A pro cyclist can burn 6000 calories on a single hard mountain stage. In one day, they can burn up to 10,000 calories. Yes, not everyone can train like trathletes or pro cyclists, which is why a sensible eating plan is in order.

@Sammiejo - if you need help creating one, do let me know.

@Nobody/ Greyfog -

weight lifters eat so much because they want to increase their body mass be it muscle mass or healthy fat. Because the stronger they are the more weight they will lift. A weight lifter who weighs in at 70kg has little chance of any serious heavy lifting so he or she has to bulk up and they achieve that by eating more than their daily calorie requirements

There is a distinction between "weight lifters" and body builders, and between Size and Strength. Weightlifting and Bodybuilding are two totally different disciplines; hence the training is different, and so are the deitary needs. Whilst both are incredibly strong, a 70kg weighlifter will lift far more (in specific exercises)than a bodybuilder of the same weight. They also both compete based on their weight categories. Pound for pound, gymnasts are even stronger than both weightlifters and bodybuilders; yet are far smaller in size.

The sport of bodybuilding is inextricably linked to fat loss; as bodybuilders have to maintain a low bodyfat percentage whilst comsuming a lot of calories to fuel their exercise regime and build muscle. They can get to an incredible bodyfat percentage as low as 2-4%.
Note that calories from protein (which is what builds the musucle mass) is only about 25-40% of their intake, with the rest coming from Carbs and Fat. So why are they not fat? Because of the training intensity/ exercise regimen; Steroids (for those who use them) also help maintain this intesity and recovery, enabling them to train longer, harder and faster; thereby burning more fat. If you have ever trained with a bodybuilder who uses steroids, you will understand exactly what i'm saying here.

Hope this helps.

@ciwi - Your reply is on the other thread.

@Romeo4real seen. Thanks a lot. Also, I'd love it if u can recommend an eating plan or should I say nigerian foods dat will help me gain alongside d supplement. I'm 5"11 and I weigh about 52kg. Thanks again.

Guys what's happening to this thread o? It's been too quiet for a while and I'm beginning to feel rather lonely. Not much point in posting here if I'm the only one on the thread.
HG, Agaba, Modath, Yinx- Are we not into posting our workouts anymore? It used to be encouraging to see others post their workouts too but now feels like its a one man band.
Anyway, I will give it to the end of this week to post my workouts on here as I frankly don't see the point anymore.
As I like to have a record to see my progress and keep me accountable,I will be continuing my logs on my personal diary and other fitness forum I belong to.

Sowwwwwiiiiiiii. Maybe we have not been working out, lol. I salute your courage and persistence but remember there were also times you left for ages and we all waited so you have to also hold the fort till we are back too, lol.

I personally had not been logging for sometimes now just as you said am really busy with other weight-loss sites but am still indebted to this forum because they made me.

For me this week, its been bad because I had malaria, just trying to come out of it yesterday and when I got to the gym, ran for 10 min and I was so dizzy I dint believe I was not going to collapse.

My weigh in yesterday was 76.3kg, I had been between this figure and 77.6kg for almost 11 months now. I know it is a long plateau and am doing everything in me to break it, its the "push" of last week that I think brought the relapse this week. I will be fine sha, I will do my best to go back there today.

My program: I run 3 times a week, Core-Mondays: Arms/Shoulders - Wednesday: Aerobics/Total Body workout on Saturdays:

If you still wish to have an everyday report, I will indulge you and do it here still.

Barbie did u say page 3!!! That is shameful, anyway this week will prove them wrong. I will likely do an afternoon thingy today, if I am not out now then I cannot make it to the gym and then to work still.

Agaby love are you coming along or not.
