phew!!!! When i saw the 48kg my eyes popped out, den i went back and read your goal. Keep trying girl. try to increase those crunches, and keep sucking in. And you need to eat well oh, if you wan gain weight. na only twice u chop yesterday

I hear a boiled potato a day  is a great way to add weight .

You need to stop soaking garri. It fills you and has virtuallly no nutritional value. I actually go on garri fasts when I am trying to lose a few pounds

My name's Ms Bee and i currently weigh 65kg and i am 5ft 6",would like to loose 10kg by July.

Today,i drank garri and groundnuts in the mornx and did no exercise at all cause i was hurrying to work.Walked from my house to the bus stop ~ 10mins.

garri is a killer . i like it but it is one food i am not allowed to eat

Killer in what way? makes you gain weight or lose weight ?

For me it makes me lose weight because I drink it with a lot of water which fills my tummy and makes my brain think that I am no longer hungry

Dominique, just my two cents, start weighlifting.

It's good for those who are trying to gain weight. I don't know if you are in Nigeria, but hear that there are some good gyms opening up in different areas now.

Weightliftng will increase your muscle mass, and the more muscle you build, you will find that you get hungry more often, or at least, will likely be more motivated to eat.

Eat a lot of protein (groundnuts, chicken, red meat, eggs, dairy, beans, moi-moi, whole grains (some cereals are made with whole grains). About five or more times a day, no matter how small each time, it adds up.

A quarter-cup of groundnuts is about 9grams of protein, if you can eat just one cup for the whole day (in addition to your other meals of course), that's 36grams of protein right there, not including your other meals. Your lean muscle will increase, and you will gain weight.


PS: Sorry for derailing the thread.

10am omelette (2 eggs) and 2 sausages
1pm glass of chocolate protein shake
3pm 1 cup (cooked) jollof rice 1 cup mixed veg & 2 pieces grilled chicken
7pm glass of vanilla protein shake 1 apple
Water 3 litres
No exercise today I usually pick a day a week to rest
Weight I weigh myself every Sunday morning and I'm down 1kg to 84kg

Nil exercising today.

Breakfast: One boiled egg with apples and carrot
Lunch: 1 cup of beans
Dinner: vegetable and plantain.

I take my measurements every sunday too . Still same: 68kg.

NB: i am maintaining and weight and not trying to lose. Due to health reasons, and drug intake i need to exercise daily to burn of the fat deposition and water retention caused by the daily intake of prednisolone.
