A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

Queen oh! I stepped on the scale 3 days ago and guess what? My reading was 69.99kg!!!

And a day later, it came further down to 69.0kg!! ***Dancing Azonto here***

But I know what's caused it sha ....STRESS!

So much stress from work to meet deadlines and hand in deliverables. Been doing very early morning starts, finishing late nights and not getting more than a couple of hours sleep. But you know what, the more stress I got, the more I exercised like crazy. I mean I had to. The environment I work in, it's not uncommon for people to turn to cocaine or commit suicides. So my own stress relief na to hit the streets and work it all out.

I never for once missed my 30 mins lower-abs workout / sit-ups and 30 mins run every morning. Still do my 30-45 min swim class and 1 hr run on Saturdays too.

Breakfast has been nothing other than a squeezed lime and lemon in a very large glass of warm (almost hot water), 4 or 5 cherry tomatoes, and sometimes, a couple of cucumber slices. Lunch at work has religiously been cold salads. All greens available - lettuce, cucumbers, broccoli, shredded carrots, sweet corn, grilled chicken pieces, mackerel, chick peas, green peas, and half a spoon of pasta - if space still remain to add am. Oh, and a teaspoon of olive oil. Then two bananas for tea and a litre of water for the whole afternoon. We've even got a scheme going: buy 4 get the 5th one free. Got my fifth free 1ltr bottle of Evian water today.

More fruits in the evenings and anything else - but definitely no rice / yams / poundo, etc anymore.

69.0 kg...Yayyy!!

CC: Chillis / Chilisauce, I don enter the 60's group oh!

Chai....congrats dear. I am happy for you but at the same time jealous. The scale reading has been going up for me but i am fitting into my clothes that i couldnt fit in to before.... i no know whether na this JM woman work out.

In fact, i have not even done it since friday or so but i started running again same friday (40mins/day). I am amazed at how good i am getting at running. You know, when i first started running, i could hardly go 5minutes without resting. I will be totally outta breath. But now, i can go 30 minutes non stop.

Today, i did 35mins run plus level 2 JM workout. I wanna push myself a bit more and shake things up a bit.

Goodnews is that i wore my size 8 top to work today.

Its just this scale i dont understand. I am just gonna stop weighing myself abeg....i no wan vex

I am something else JM just dey fear me this days as I really don't want to relent on level 2
Used some other fitness videos (fitness blender) 20 mins metabolism HIIT and I did have a good burn but not as intense as JM as you have breaks in between.

You only have to make sure you incorporate warm up and cool downs yourself.

Moca that scenery is gorgeous.

Hi ladies, i just stumbled on this thread and i have been reading you guys posts. I must say that i am very happy that you are going the extra mile to look fit. Kudos to you guys.
There is one thing that i am going to point out here. Please and please throw away that scale you are using to measure your body weight. The scale is very deceptive rather concentrate on using parameters such as dress-size, love-handles, toned abdomen, waist-size, toness of the arms and thighs, size of the cheeks, to determine fat-loss.
Do you know that when you are exercising there is a tendency to increase in weight and this increase is usually due to muscle-mass.
For me i weigh 90kg and i don't look it. The bulk of my weight is lean muscle-mass. If i want to determine whether my body-fat level is increasing, i simply check my waist-size(usually 28 inches), my abs, my jawline, my overall muscle-toness.
Once again welldone gals

Howdy y'all .............been a while since I last showed on this thread. Well done everyone for keeping the thread alive and sharing your fitness journey. Was away on holiday and I am so glad that eating well is now a lifestyle for me as I did not eat any crap and didn't feel like eating crap. I now now 62kg, yay!!! Everybody I know is on my case to stop whatever I am doing before I disappear.

I am going back to JM next week but I will only do 3x a week to just maintain my fitness and keep those horrid love handles away

62 kg? That's so nice. Congrats.

Let me joint them and be on your case

Pls do the JM twice a week and maybe regular cardio once.

Yaay...welcome back

You 3x a week me once a week but funny enough I still work out 4 to 5 times a week. Just got bored with JM so do different routines every day plus jogging/running.

Size 8?? This girl, I seriously envy you oh!

I think my case is that of Slow 'n Steady. The weight is coming off, but ever so slowly, but then again, that's to be expected since I haven't really changed my exercise routine that much (and I've had few cheat days too.. )

Exercise-wise, it's still do the daily (Mon - Fri) 30 mins sit-up / lower abs workout + 30 min run (3 miles). Took yesterday off to give my body some rest and slept for a good 10 hrs last night. I tell you, having a good night's sleep is soooooooo important, and your body even burns a lot of calories that way too. Anyway, I decided to spice things just a teeny-weeny bit more and did a 1 hr run after my 30 mins workout. One thing I'd like to say is that doing that 30 min workout first, kinda loosens the knee muscles. I also make sure immediately after my run, I spend 5 - 10 mins stretching my lower 'n upper body. That way, there'll be no after effect muscle pains from running. You should try that too.

Weight this morning: 68.6 kg - t'is tough sha but if peeps like our matron Naijababe (kudos to her!) can cruise at 62kg, then I see no reason why Efe can't. Me sef, my aim is to hit 60kg.

Breakfast this morning was the usual concoction of a large glass of squeezed lime and lemon in hot water, some cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, and an extra 500ml bottle of water.

Happy Sunday to all our fitness ladies on here. (And guys too...)

What is your height? Don't go and turn into skinny bones because of naijababe. You don't know her height or if she has natural big boobs, Curvy ass etc. All these matters when you target your body weight.

I weight 62kg and I looked so much like skeleton bones every where .

I had to go back to my 65 to 67kg.

I have natural hips don't lie and it will remain that way.

Although looked thinner because of the exercise . Mostly muscles added to the weight .

Efe, THROW THE WEIGH AWAY AND LOOK AT DRESS SIZE AND TONED BODY!!!!!!!!

EFE!!!!!
