Ha! Why now? You've always been an active member ooo. We hope to see you back on track.

Happy New Week of healthy and active lifestyle.

Hi all,

I have been progressing in my runs. I am to start my week 3 this week and there is a goos news already. I just discovered a field very close to my house where I can go lapping early in the morning instead of spending my lunch money at the gym everyday. So I think all is working well.
My weight is just between 76kg - 77kg for almost a month now, I know I will break this bondage someday and get to where I am going. So do all of us.

Where is everybody ooooo?

We can do this.

Happy Sunday

agabaI23: The last did anything strenuous was the day we did all night together. That was before I injured my calf. I think I am getting all good now. I will hit the road soon.

How body now?

all night praying or what?

What have you been doing to yourself? Good to hear you are well now.

babs2011: Hey! I'm here o, i will be back to logging my workouts. I need it!

Yeah, it is good. Logging in makes you accountable.

This week had been awesome for because I started running again. I just entered a 5K training program and I have putting my all into it. I however ran on the field yesterday and I enjoyed everybit of it, it is really good to be outside once more.

joy4anney: @hour glass, ƭћǟπƙs for d prompt reply. Well, as for my statistics, d last time I checked, my height was 5"1 (165m) and 75kg. My daily log sometimes is in dis manner: breakfast: Rice, stew and beef or indomie and egg. Lunch: fruits/vegetable, or Rice. Dinner: wheat/semo and soup. But at times dis vary. I trek from my house to d bustop (10mins walk) every am and pm.
Dat has been my routine.
Ƭћǟπƙs dear.

You really need to step up your workouts, you may start with a walking or running program or search for DVDs, get something for yourself on Youtube. Just try to do something that will lift your heartrate up a bit than 10 minutes walk to and from the house. Cut your portions down a bit and then take more fruits and vegetables. Let us start from there and then we move gradually, try to also log what you do and eat on a daily basis.

Yvete: Nice thread! I've been trying to lose 12 pounds in forever!! I started using protein shakes and it added a few pounds. I'm very active, workout 4 times weekly, but I've hit a plateau so I'd be trying kickboxing classes this Saturday. Hope it works!


I tried Meizi Evolution to drop a few pounds. It works, but my throat was always dry so I stopped using it.

Workout is good for weight-loss, drugs are bad for weight-loss. BEWARE

joy4anney: Hi everybody, I am delighted to hook up with this thread. Ve been on this project slim down for 2 months now. Sincerely, I cnt meet up with exercises cos I hadly ve time for it. Ve been on some drugs but I had to stop some days ago cos of d side effects I was experincing. 2wks ago I was weighing 78kg, so can Ʊ kindly help me with a feasible routine dat can help me trim down some 10kg.
Ƭћǟπƙs

You are welcome into the thread joy, this is the best place to be dearie. Let us first off know what your statistics are like your height and current weight. Then what are your routine meals like (try log a whole day here), What exercise regime would you like to take up? I hope am not asking for too much, but let us have answers to all these then we go from there. But remember, weight-loss is 80% diet and 20% exercises. So always remember, changing your diet is vital to your goals. Wishing you the best.

Thank God, someone came around. Hope all is well o? Where is everyone?

Barbie whatsup?
Yinkus kilon shele now?
Agaby love wetin dey?
Mody how far?
ML, how our baby?
What about aronky scatter, you still dey vex?

I am sorry for being AWOL, just got a new task on another site and it had been so challenging and honourable too. Irrespective of all, I am still committed to this thread.

Please let us all wake up and keep the thread alive abeg.

imygirl: Has any1 heard of zulix herbal anD does it help to shed weight?

imygirl, be very careful of any too-good-to-be-true herbals for weight loss. They are actually not good, they do not give you a permanent weight loss like an healthy lifestyle will do. Eat healthy, control your portions and workout like youre brushing your teeth.

Everybody stay in the vehicle.

By the way guys, I found it hard to keep up with the skips cuz I'm now lazy, but I made sure I did d 510 ooo. So I'm rewarding myself with a nail polish. Hehehehehehe. Tomorrow is another day, happy sunday

Good job and I love that word, 'tomorrow is another day'.

agabaI23: Played a match on Wednesday(won) but I aggravated the injury. I should have waited
Now I have to wait for two weeks without excercise.

How are you my Hour G?

What have you done again? Why do you keep doing this to yourself? Please just get the ice fast and do that everyday.

fitnessmania: Due to brutal tooth ache, skipping my workout today. It's really going in my head. Got to go to doctor asap.

Please do so. Get well soon

Another week gone by and it is one of the most uninteresting weeks for me in a long while. Nothing spectacular and yesterday was my weigh in day at a weight of 77.7kg as against 76.3kg last month. At the clinics during the check on Monday, they recorded 76.5kg in my card. So much fluctuations thanks to TOM, I think.

18.5 minutes jump rope (twice).
Level 1 30DS
3 hours heavy cleaning (today)

I read that Marilyn Monroe got her slim waist with a hundred sit ups every night. Can you beat that?

Happy Weekend.

yinx007: Why do I feel like a prodigal member of dis family??


Actially my hands are quite full now. How is everyone doing?

C'mon de-clutter those hands and pick up your weights.

babs2011: @HG: I dey o. My son was admitted to hospital for the past few days, praise God he is discharged now and better. It was a very stressful period. Obviously my focus was on him getting better so any workout regime was on hold.. In the meantime food has been good or even non existent as stress took my appetite.
Glad to hear you are keeping the faith. Will be back soonest.

Am so sorry to hear that and thank God he is really better. It is well, you can use the time being to de-stress and take good care of yourself too.

fitnessmania: I hope everyone is doing well.

I see buzz in this thread is from other user is getting low.

May be people have lost the focus for losing weight.

May God raise us back to life. Barbie how far?

I am still keeping on and doing my best to stay as active as possible, eating well too and keeping faith.

Everybody stay in the vehicle

Modath, nice seeing you pop in.

Agaby Love how far na.

End of another wonderful week. It went thus:

27 minutes Level 3 of 30DS
18.5 minutes Jump Rope interval, it is now at ratio 1:1 + 30 minutes walk away the pounds
32 minutes strength training - upper body(circuit training) + 20 minutes brisk walk
18.5 mins JR + 54 minutes taebo bootcamp training
40 minutes Strength training (core)
60 minutes Core Max with Cathe

Wednesday is now my rest day.

Have a splendid weekend.

I KILL: Abeg o, u guys should help a beginner,I don't know where 2 start from + I really wanna slim down, pls pls pls pls pls, pls note I'm a beginner

I KILL, you are welcome to the thread. It is is nice to know you are a beginner, just start by doing something you truly enjoy. Like can you start walking more and faster like 30 minutes a day [not the usual am going-to-work Lagos walk o. Start climbing stairs deliberately then move to running up the stairs and down. If you have a good neighbourhood, then wake up early and do the running 10 mins, and work your way up. If you are disposed register in a gym and tell them you are a beginner. Then you need to understand THIS, weight loss is 20% exercise and 80% diet, so you need to watch what you eat and try to keep everything in MODERATION. Log in here everyday to share your progress, when we don't see you we sense something is wrong.

agabaI23: Sustained a Quadricep injury on Wednesday while playing footie. Glad my volleyball match for morrow is shifted till Tuesday, a day before my footie match though
