First, DO YOU REALLY HAVE THE MENTAL STRENGHT? cos it is HAAAAAAAARRRRRRDD but it is WORTH IT.

Scratch that Aerobics class thing, it makes one co dependent & stunts growth since y'all must be on the same schedule & different body types require different approaches, moreover starvation isn't a long term, what happens when you start eat normally like you should without even binging?..

Effective & Efficient weight "maintainance" is a personal journey, losing is the EASIEST part, maintaining is the most difficult...

Is your neighbourhood conducive to running?


Apart from safety issues, streets where cars are parked by the roadside are not easy to Manoeuver for runners / walkers...

We need to know the limitations 1st before designing a programme that will get the job done ..

cc Agabai23 ,mideol, HourGlass3, miztyna , Babs2011.. Happy New Month Y'all....

Not my street particularly, but our roads are designed to accommodate pedestrians/runners.

I could do roadwalks, it's just sometimes, I'm scared of the dark and being alone on the road

modath2:


You have to conquer the fear cos you are going to begin a 6wks regime of brisk walk +slow run before progressing to steady tempo runs...

I can conquer the fear, and I'll conquer it.
Okay. I could start tomorrow. What's the time frame. I can dedicate 1hr. Say 5-6. Is it going to b everyday? Am I meant to report daily?

Can you get dumb bells cos you need to add strength & body weight training as well? Can you lay your hands on Jillian Michaels DVDs?

I can get the DVD from a sports shop, or I could download online.
As for dumb bells, how many KG would be okay?
Do you have as idea how much they'd cost?


Can you do portion control & more protein as against starvation diet ?

The thing is, I like the feeling I get when I wake in the morning feeling so light.
I would pr sticking to stopping all heavy foods at 6pm.

I can take eggs (white) and cucmber/vegetables are night meals.
Staples are a no no

You need to do cardio & more cardio before bringing in planks is till a bit later , etc

Cardios would be the brisk runs/walks right? Ar jumping jacks okay too?
The following are my fitness bibles.

I'm a mama of 3 who has lost over 25kg at one time & maintained 20+ of that loss for over 5yrs till i got delivery of my blessed 3 months infant in july & threw caution to the wind....

You can do it, you just have to want to be SUCCESSFUL at it, people are going to discourage & ridicule you but i can assure you they will still be the same folks carrying tales that you are on a secret weightloss MEDICATION cos it's not possible to achieve it through just DIET & EXERCISE..

That's very true.
Now the pic below is impressivo!
I actually do want to be successful.

modath2:


Don't start with a full hour, you start with just 20mins (you build up to 45mins)cos its MAXIMUM effort.. & it's 5 days, you rest for 2 so the body can repair itself & also rest a bit.

Okay, so starting tomorrow, I will do brisk walks/ slow run for 30 minutes.

Don't sneeze at that 20mins, if you do it right by 10mins you will be cursing.
Curse because of slow run and walks? No naaa
Or maybe I didn't understand you.

2. Dumb bells, get minimum of 3kg or if you can get the 10kg ADJUSTIBLE, it will be perfect, you just take out the 3kg & keep the rest till you graduate to major weight training.

Okay.
I will go to Ojuelegba on Wednesday for that.
But how do I incorporate that? Or I don' need it yet?

If you can download, fantastic, get Zumba & Tae bo as well to add variety & stave off boredom.

Yes, I will.

3.You need to eat at least 1600-1800 cals to fuel an effective regime so you don't end up burning muscles for fuel..

See, that's th thing
How can one know these things.
Most foods that have calorie counts are mostly oyinbo. For example, we don't know how much calories egusi, yam, beans, okro et al contain.

God I wish there was a time table.

4. Jumping Jacks are plyos for later, now we need consistecy which you need to build up to, jumping jacks are boring & you would have been a skinny B by now if they were all that is required....

Okay. So w stick with running and brisk walks for now.

Read resources from those sites & get back on 3 things (at least) that you've learnt, cos I want to be sure you are ready...Time is precious & don't want any wasted.

I'll visit right away, starting with 3 fat chicks

There is only so much I can type, when you get familiar withthose sites, you will marvel at the strides your own capabilities & achievements.

Okay. Thanks for the enthusiasm/motivation.
I really appreciate.

3 THINGS

‎1. The problem isn't what we did, but what we make it mean. We tell ourselves that our transgressions means that we have no will power, that we will never succeed, that our efforts are in vain.

I've been there, and I know the feeling.
It's actually great reading this, especially seeing as I trangressed last night

You can't win the game except you keep on playing.
‎

2. The importance of water intake....enough water.‎
‎
3. ‎ I downloaded the calorie count app.

Bravo... I also want you to download the walkmate app from android & get in at least 5,000 steps in day apart from the exercise routine..


I want you to also never dwell on yesterday (s), it's gone, just face the future & take each day & make a better choices..


*CAVEAT EMPTOR*, I hope you know this is not in any shape or form an attempt to manipulate your political leanings ? .. We can stop right now if you are entertaining that thought... I'm moved strictly cos

1.. I hate fat shaming!!!!! Deep hatred sef!!

2... You mentioned making effort 2x in 2 different threads & we need to start seeing results...


My political affiliation does not remove the humanity in me, Agabai23 & have always been on opposite sides for years but it never gets to this thread....

Don't forget, Myfitnesspal.... The fitness & success stories boards are key..

HourGlass3:


Everybody, stay in the vehicle!!!

Congratulobia Modath, so happy you and baby are fine and doing well? I can see that tiger is back on track in you. I hope you set a pre-baby weight goal first before taking it back to where you are coming from. Love the spirit.

Kennery, whaddup? Saw a good looking you on the tweets. Well done as always.

Barbie gurl, how far?

GenBuari, go-ing slow-ly but at least no hold up yet.

I saw your post and I wanted to reply but the site was rejecting my posts. Second day in a row. Maybe the bot or something.
Sorry about the hunger. take am je je

Orobo2Lekpa:

I plan to run 14 kilometers every week

Monday - 3k
Tuesday - 3k
Thursday - 3k
Saturday - 5k

agabaI23:

This is nice. You could improve your weight loss by adding some weight exercises.
They keep the metabolism on for longer hours than you can achieve with jugging alone

Orobo2Lekpa:

O
I do some weight but find it tiring sometimes

agabaI23:
That's the koko...do it

Bless you ma'am
Good Morning.
The honest to God truth is I've not started.
News of mugging and robberies flying around hasn't been encouraging.
I've been sticking to skips....and dieting.
The highest I do is 700.
I want to ask,
Is there a way you can formulate an indoor regimen?
I'm yet to get the bells
I should this week.

modath:


Agabs, you didn't even cc ya gal, howdy?
