I think it is a nice DVD if you follow it religiously. You already have a good body so it won't take much effort from you to get the killer abs.
I am happy you are motivated

Tolulop001:

@modath,
The point I was making was that for an international triple jump champion (her name is Aisha Hansen)with the tremendous strength and explosive power she can generate, and her very tough training and weight training regime, her body is toned but unexceptional, unlike most other international athletes in her event

Exercise: Tae bo Cardio Bootcamp dvd (30 mins)
JM Yoga Meltdown dvd Level 1 (30 mins) - really great stuff, thoroughly enjoyed doing this 

Food:

Porride oats with a drop of milk, 3 prunes
Chicken strips and 1 slice of cheese toasted in a sandwich
1/2 pkt quavers (crisps)
handful grapes
1.5 serving spoon of rice and stew, 1 beef, 1 chicken drumstick
(2 chicken nuggets from my kids plate)
1 cup coffee
2.5 ltrs water

How are y'all doing?

@ Modath, HG, missing you gals. Where u dey?? abeg show face now

@Tolu, keep it up good work there so far. When u say 'moderate rice', pls cld you quantify,  like is it 1 or 2 heaped serving spoon of rice etc?,  i just want to have an indication of portion size in relation to the calorie count. thanks

@Agaba, sup mate? not much outdoor action here due to the heavy rains lashing the country for the past few days or so. So for now the evening power walks with my neighbour have somewhat dwindled much to her (and esp her hubbys) disappointment. However i've realised i'm really a morning exerciser and usually by the end of the day i'm worn out, not at my peak and excuses flow easily. Also do not feel inclined to push myself as hard in the evening. She happens to not be a morning person  , anyway i will still try for her small.

hey babs! thanks for the encouragement, u guys have really motivated me!
As for the calorie count, moderate is like 1 serving spoon for me.
For me calculating calories is using the weight to estimate. I use grams et al, but for a serving spoon, how do I quantify that? its a bit of a challenge, esp for foods like jollof rice. What I do is compare it to standardised foods e.g indomie, i know the large indomie is about 550 calories, and it fills up my plate, so I can estimate for other pasta type/carbs foods from there


Food Log
Weetabix, skim milk and 1 cube sugar– 300 cal
One serving spoon rice
One serving spoon beans
Cubed plantain, and moin moin
Above 3 should be like 900 sha
1 large Apple – 100cals

Water Intake – 2L
Total - 1400 cals

Dint exercise this evening, had a crazy day at work so I just used that one as excuse not to go. I think I should stick to mornings, like bab said there are too many excuses in the evening
I dont mind mornings, its just that i have to beat traffic going to work,
I'll have to get up at about 4.30 to be able to exercise in the mornings.

Barbie, thanks for asking ave been trying to post since yesterday to no avail o, i think the post was just too long. I have some good news to share later when i can browse normally.

Well I understand what you mean about the rains in the summer. UK weather sucks
Modify to suit you and that's it. Too bad for your neighbour but every good thing comes with sacrifice and she should know it.

Over all good job!

Barbie, thanks for asking ave been trying to post since yesterday to no avail o, i think the post was just too long. I have some good news to share later when i can browse normally.

HG,
I'm holding my breath

Barbie,
Still here,and keeping on!!!.

OMG, see how peeps dey wait aproko

and the good news isssssssssssssss!!!!

I am 78 -79kg(in between) to be precise. are you happy for me? In my 70s after two solid years!!! i know ave been a lil inconsistent especially about my meals but i felt i should be progressing and not otherwise, since i never stopped exercising. And trust me, i feel toned now too, I should take my body statistics end of this month to see how far.

As per the JM 30DS i dont do it everyday, i do that at least 3 days a week and run on days when there is no rain (it seems to rain all day now), tae bo helps on rainy days anyways.

I stopped eating my main meals at night though and load myself in the mornings. Now i feel it is werking for me,

I also stopped logging meals cos i want to know how disciplined i would be without someone watching my back and I think i passed the test, my subsequent logging depends on a maintained consistency. I feel that is the only way i can help someone else before someone start following my inconsistencies, so when am good you will see my posts.

If you take note too, i come here almost everyday to check and measure myself up to see if am still in line or not. So to those posting keep on keeping on and thanks too.

@123, pls where you jam those killer-weights. Take it easy i beg.

@barbie, well done o. I love your mind

@Honourable member of the house MODATH, lol. How far with Banish Fat? You started yet?

@GenB, i can see that good times are here, what was the weight you started with? I need to tell you that i force myself to drink 2 ltrs a day now, it aint easy.

@toluperf, welcome and we are happy to have another calorie counter in the house again. Pls how would you count this?
1 fist size amala
1 serving spoon ewedu soup
1 serving spoon gbegiri soup
1 medium fresh water fish (4" x 4" big)

@ all, how do i handle this? Some days i feel like not biting a thing, as in i force myself to eat and some days its hunger that wake me up in the morning. How do i do it since i feel this is the reason for my inconsistencies?

@Hour_Glass
I won't lie  I was expecting bigger news than that but still congratulations on  reaching that milestone sha 

132kg only down  2kg  in five months but   I have to persist there  is no going  back

Why are you  not finding  easy to drink water? we should be aiming for 3L daily.

You must force yourself to eat  enough  claories each day otherwise you metabolism would slow down and  make  it harder to lose weight overall.
