@Sienna/ Shawonlese,
Hi guys, your input will be highly appreciated. This silence/ delay is stressing me out. Our hotel reservation is for 13th of july. Airline tickets are in the stratosphere at the moment, Lord knows what/where it'd be by next week.

@Tolulop,
Hi,just lay off calorie counting,it is time consuming,messes with your mind and it doesn't really work with our meals in Nigeria because a lot of stuff go into making our food, e.g the semo u had,its unlikely you'd be able to quantify the exact measurement of the oil,salt,seasoning,pepper,vegetable e.t.c, that accompanied the semo.
Just make smart choices and when you make errors and overshoot it just make up for it the next day, if in doubt just do POTION CONTROL,YOU ARE UNLIKELY TO MISS WITH THAT.

Tolulop001:
today is not looking good mehhhhnnnn

had 1.5 fist sized semo wraps today (who send me but kai the tin sweet oh!)

i think im on like 1600 already and ma friends want to go out today = more food

this thing requires serious self control.

in ma office there is a constant supply of biscuits and crackers - this encourages mindless eating

help!

^ sup girl, how u dey? are you still doing JM30DS?

Babe,
I'm good  and still enduring JM's brand of punishment but methinks am gaining weight in my thighs,not a problem as am not increasing in waist girth but i plan to weigh this weekend[ i ditched my scale when it became obsessive LOL] in order to ascertain if the 80kg i saw on my friend's manual scale is due to me being fully clothed+just had a glass of water+time of the month ,fingers crossed.

Gen B,
How are you? am happy that you are still here[unlike some ship in the night warriors we had on this thread some time ago] and also refusing to allow negativity to bring you down,take care,

Hi House,
What is the average no of days a U.K tourist visa spends at the HC, i sent in my application[got the alert too] on the 7th of this month but till date am yet to get a response.

BACKGROUND'
My spouse (sponsor) applied first and he was given but since our anniversary is coming up mid july ,we decided that i too apply so we can make it a memorable one. Am using the same documents[payslips,bank statements,share certifiacates,kids pix,wedding pix,letter from employer[oil servicing coy],car particulars etc] with just my personal bank statement and undeveloped land paper as an addendum.
What are my chances even though i was hopeful after the 7th day, i am begginnining to entertan doubts, uhmp.

modath:
I know the regulars on NL are always supportive and you'd always find someone to shed light on any issue. Someone should kindly extend the same helping hand to my issue.
Someone told me that the UKBA in abuja has some issues which is why they've been holding on to applications, My husband was given within 7 working days, am using his docs(unemployed) and its been with them for 12 days now. Is it advisable to keep hope alive,

@Omo_Tier1,

Barbie Doll,

Madam HG,
Well done my sis,I am happy for you and I tap some of that anointing,at the same time I was thinking he's about to PUT A RING ON IT,

HourGlass1:
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!!!.

@Tolulop,
Welcome. I'm typing this on my phone so I can't really elaborate but long story short, we are going to come at it from another angle. When I use the PC,I'd get back to you.

Barbie,
How are u doin? Babe hw do u get yourself to exercise( not aerobics classes)later in day cos if I don't do it by 7/8 am, it ain't happening.
Woke up @ 4 am to pee,checked NBA results on the net and cos the Mavs won (seriously rooting for them)I made the dumb decision to check ESPN,sat for three hours listening to all the post games analysis and now can no longer ginger myself to do it.
Damn, I wish I had an Aerobics class too.!!!!

can someone help me, my problem is that i cant view you tube video on my phone, each time i try to view it requests i change to ''ETISALAT WAP'' first so i can incur the pre-requisite charges and even when i agree, it buffers for some minutes and tells me i cant view. what rubbish
BTW, the music videos i downloaded form toxic wap plays without ant hitch. someone pls assist a sista.!!!

N,B---My phone ''claims'' i dont have adobe flash player and all attempt to download it has come to naught.

HG and Barbie,
Pls indulge me and see the results of ''SHAWNA MAMA''. I am speechless and its a rare thing for me.

HourGlass1:
Whether you greet me safe journey or not, na you sabi o 123. Thanks for the checks at all. No exercise yesterday and today, am here for wedding of a friend and so much paroles to take care of. GenB, dont wish me bad o, my mairuwa travelled without informing me and i was stranded so i just used that as an opportunity to work with it. I will be going back tomorrow kindly wish me well. I motivated two of my friends to start working out yesterday and one started this morning with sit ups and 30 brisk walk, how about that? I think there is something fattening in this FCT, modath dont mind me o. I love the place sha and trust me i did self discipline these two days.

HG Dearie,
Hope you didn't finish all the owambe goodies all by yourself?? transfer some online to me,been long i had firewood jollof rice .
BTW,i am proud that other people are emulating you ,its gratifying. however i do love FCT because its just too easy to work out here,traffic is minimal,shuttle time negligible[i workout before my kid's school bus arrives at 7 a.m]when i was in lag[ training] in 2008, i had to hit the road before motorists come out in their numbers. i relly respect peeps in lagos. dem dey try.

Barbie doll,
She didn't do it in eighteen months,she took some time to have her baby,bam 6 months later she came back ''BRAND NEW''. i know because i have my finger in every pie, (POLITICS,INTERNATIONAL POLICIES,SPORTS,POP CULTURE et al] .am like a sponge,i soak up everything. But stuff like the above just make it difficult to believe. you know most celebrities get snapped by the PAPS one time or the other going in and out of the gym or whatever but she has never even been caught ''dancing''. stories like these leaves one wondering and enquiring!!!!!!
I am not cursed with my stubborn genes because i used to think that if somone that is a mother like me,weighed more than i did could just varnish in a twinkling of an eye,then something must be defective in my makeup .

GenBuhari:
Hi All ,

On the j-hud issue, I have not seen her, I can tell you that not everybody's body is predisposed to looking toned with exercise. There are some olympic athletes that you would not know are athletes just by looking at their bodies.

General,
Are you trying to get me all worked up? , the lady in this photo is exactly what a toned and fit woman should ''LOOK'' like. the ''HULK'' look isn't what any lady in her right mind will ever aspire to.Gen B, kindly look closely,cant you see the definition in her biceps,she can rock sleeveless from here to fantasyland,Did you have a good look at her thighs and hips,the only thing missing is the waist indent and its not needed cos all other parts are on point. AND THAT IS HOW I SEE IT!!!!!!!

@General House,
Kindly weigh in on this my peeps,In as much as i love love J-hud's ''massive'' weightloss, i am begginning to agree with the folks who are adamant that she didn't achieve it the good ''old fashioned''way. For someone who claims to exercise a ''lot'', she does not have the prerequisiste muscle tone to show for it.
What do you guys think.

HourGlass1:
Well done everyone, food: rice and beans + 1 local cheese, 1 50cl drink, 1 scotch egg, yam/potatoe pottage and dried fish, 1.5 litres water (rainy and cold day). Exercise was 5 mins air boxing and 10 buckets of water fetched from the well up a storey building, no pausing and of course my heart beat was high. On a 7 hour journey tomorrow for wedding, wish me safe journey. Take care.

You did resistance/weight training and heavy cardio all at once, thats my girl. safe journey.

N.B===I am not in love with the scotch egg and drink though and its due to the fact that you ain't happy with your weight. if you were cool with it,there'd be no complaint from me, we cannot live a life of deprivation.

babs2011:
@Modath: babe i've been picturing this move in my head since i read your post this morning. Will be trying it out tmrw and report back. Sounds very JM ish and i just know it will be a killer on the quads How far with your regime?

Decided to skip my RI30 w/o this morning. Had to listen to my body as i was quite knackered ( i usually wake up early to exercise before the household wakes). The extra rest in bed has done me good. Going to my aerobics class later this evening. Back on the Ripped prog tmrw.

Exercise is going well, substituted gentle stairclimbing for the jog.try the plank walk and you'd feel it EVERYWHERE. i just experimented with the move one day and became a convert, there is another one i do but i want you to try this one out first. I have faith in your bada-ssness
Am preparing for shred cos i do all my workouts in the A.M as well, i like to get it over with which is why the gym thing is not really my kettle of fish.

Gen B,
Well done,105 mins, very impressive. Keep it up and try to incorporate strength training gradually or if you don't mind get ripped in 30 and work out with it. Good job.

Hi All,
Top of the morning to all ya!!.

Barbie doll,
I'd like you to experiment with this move: Assume the position for hip thrust/plank jack but instead of completing either move just walk in that position from one end of the room for 2 mins straight x3 and report your findings.

HG,
No retreat no surrender!.

Barbie doll,
Stop lighting fire under my as s girl, every time I see you log Ripped in 30, I just keep thinking about what could have been. I can dream now!!!!

..
.

HG dearie,
I am grinning from ear to ear!!shame dey catch me ooo. sincerely,am sorry for breaking my word. Shred has started showing me up and am feeling my energy level and stamina depleting,my belle too no dey gree suck in anymore. LOL.
Thanks for the love and corcern, I'll redress the situation. Cash ya leta.

Gen B,whatz gwan.?don't like your silence.

Wey my people,
I need a fix,HG,Barbie,GEN B e.t.C. knowing you guys are committed makes all these easier to bear.
I had to step up on the jog during my cardio intervals on saturday&this morning too cos I want to put a bit more omph into my workout and doing the shred has gotten a bit harder than normal. I fell, the temptation was too much to ignore, hopefully the month long break from jog/run will pay off. I am not in pain though.

HG,Thanks. You know I don't like bul lshit so I am quite satisfied with your response, I was thinking of getting on the Tae-bo train but it sounds a bit like Jillian's Banish Fat Boost Metabolism(still tightly wrapped) so I will defer getting it for now. What I do is to alternate the shred with a day of cardio, take a rest after the 4th day then repeat. I am getting the Yoga meltdown at the earliest opportunity.

HG,
Top of the morning to you. I modify Jumping jacks by either jogging in place or boxing. Btw, how does Shred compare to Tae-bo (your opinion).

Barbie,
Is INDOMIE noodles a world class brand? Used to think it's just a Nigerian brand.

Barbie,
That's my new name for you Babs as you have the proportions to qualify. Does the Ripped in 30 have an "Anita" too. cos you got me all dreaming about it.

GEN B,
How are you doing?.

The girls are using 5lbs weight which translates to 2.25kg so doing it with 5kg is a lot. I tried 4kg but settled for 3kg so I don't kill myself. LOL
HG,go ahead and modify some till you get the hang of it. I modify the jumping jacks,plank jacks and hip thrusts cos of the impact to my lower back.
