Everyone's vacation again? Is it the cold? You actually need exercise to shake it off. This weather is the best to run, do HIIT, and all those sweat dripping videos, lose weight in this harmattan while it lasts

MIND OVER MATTER (BODY)

How to trick your mind into eating less and healthy

1. Eat what you want but not everything you want. Always tell yourself that you can have anything, food will always be here.

2. Imagine you have eaten a particular craving you have.

3. PAUSE (wait 10 minutes before eating it)

4. Substitute junks/unhealthy food with what looks like it (swap Coke for flavoured water, I do add Nutri C)

5. Go back in time (eat like a kid)

6. Drink a glass of water when you hungry and then wait ten minutes (sometimes hunger and thirst have the same pangs)

7. Plan your junk food (in your mealplan let the chocolate come after dinner, i.e. if you still feel like taking it after eating)

8. Create a top 10 list of distractions (e.g. brushing your teeth, a set of crunches or push ups)

9. Fool you eye e.g. use smaller plates (I use a small salad bowl)

10. Train your resistance muscle (do not give in to cravings so that you have a stronger will to resist next time)

11. Set your phone to send motivational quotes.

12. Often share whatever you are eating with someone else

I hope this helps, you can include what else had helped you or can help us to lower our waistline

Happy New Year to everyone on this land oooooooooooooooooooooo

As I always say, "everybody stay in the vehicle". It's the beginning of the year and you are forgiven for all the fails and falls during the festive season, if you don't stand up this January and do something hard and stern for your body then your trespasses shall be visited. Stand and let's do it again, remember you have done it before and you can do it again.

Check my signature for some new and good ways naija weight loss can and would work. It's something an oyibo man fear like mad but for hia o, na our ways (((hugs)))

I had been following my schedule for January non stop and I feel proud of myself.

This morning had me do 50 mountain climbers
Then 25 minutes cardio (HIIT), my HRM read over 200 cals burned.

What have you been doing to yourself?

Diet is 80%, exercise is just 20%, that nothwistanding, you can still get great results if you can work HARD!!

Yes I can! The question is what should I do? Skipping, walking, running (area not too safe for early morning runs), register at a gym (no time) but I'm determined in doing this if not for any other thing, to be able to wear high waist skirts again. God help me.

Wow! You guys rock. I have gone through the first 20 pages and the last part of this thread. I have an idea of where to start from. Will be logging in too. Thanks

Thanks a lot. You're a darling. I was able to glean a lot from the first 20 pages. I'm waiting for payday to get dumb bells(3kg) and the 30 days shred from Konga. I'll google the rest if the info. I started playing around yesterday and I hope to achieve desirable results.

So I did push ups today (very tough) though I was able to get the easiest for beginners. Thereafter I did planks, squats and some body shaking. I didn't time/count any since there was much rest in-between
I have a question though, I felt pains in my waist area while doing the push ups, is that suppose to happen when done right?

@modath, please do you think the 3kg dumb bell's too much for beginners? Thanks

You should NEVER feel pain when doing any kind of exercise, what you should feel is stress on the muscle being used.

Pain is caused either bad form... pls don't damage anything ooo .. Do skipping for now, perfect your plank before stepping it up to push ups... watch Youtube videos of planks to learn good form..

3kg is great,or you can do my old style, get 2 big Eva water bottles, fill them up with sand, then add water to cake it, it will serve to get you acquainted with light weight....

Maybe it was pressure o because when i stopped i didn't feel it again. Gonna try your water bottle dumb bells for starters. Many thanks

I DID it right yesterday. Only felt pressure not pain. I dedicated 30 mins for squats, planks, jogging and crunches. Couldn't do much today because my joints aches.

Well done MGeey, you're doing really well, keep up the momentum and logs.

Great work at MGeey. I have a question please. for someone who is always on a very busy schedule-say, 6am to 8pm, how can he carry on with exercises in order to lose weight??

I have a very busy schedule too. Most days I exercise between 9/10pm. On such days I don't eat from 4pm. If your location is secure, you can run as early as 5am or skip in your compound. I hope I was able to help.
