Thanks mandate. this is the kind of energy l need for now. sometimes l get tired of hearing or reading what devil is doing or not doing. God is doing a great work as u listed above. l care less what my O is doing for now!

@Seanbell

As much as we try to stay away from calories, our body really need them. I calculated my BMR (Basal Metabolism Rate) it showed 2,180.. thats means my body needs and burns this number per day to keep me going. If l need to maintain my current weight, l dont need to consume more than this number of calorie a per, but if l need to loss weight, it is recommended that l reduce it by 500 per day. On the extreme, it is advised that you take a minimum of 1200 calories per day.
However, it is advised to loose more weight thru exercise than thru dieting. Should not reduce more than 1 or 2 pounds per week thru dieting alone, else you get to starvation mode.

Thanks Rocks queen. I am not discouraged at all. I will continue with my diet. I won't do anything that would jeopardize my TTC. As far as I eat healthy, am ok with everything. I am not really fan of exercise but I will see what I can do about it. Maybe start with one spot jumping or running in my house. Thx a lot!

@seanbell
I will likely get the cinnamon tomorrow, but I was not able to get original honey today, had thought I wd buy today from one of my church members but didn't see her today. Am still for it.

@all wetin dey happen today?

DAY 7

My food is not well arranged today, ate randomly.

Morning. Took a cup of my usual juice
After church service. Took digestive biscuit about 6pcs with water
Got home snacked with tiger nut and 1/2 pear
Lunch. Small portion of jollof rice with lots of veggies (carrot, cabbage and onions)
Evening. One mango
Nite: one apple and coleslaw.

My dear seanbell am no doing any muscle traninig or any exrcise oo. Just that I look thick that's why pple always tell me that am not fat. But I feel I am. Thx for that ideal weight lost per month...it made me feel better!
Told DH I lost only 1kg, he said I was busy changing diet in d name of loosing weight, that he anticipated I will add ..

@Rockqueen eku enjoy ooo
@seanbell, God is not tired of our prayers requests,He will attend to all that concerns you. Congrats on ur wedding anniversary and your new weight.

I have just checked mine, today I asked one of the nurses in the church office to check for me cos that scale is too sophisticated, it showed 87kg - I dey vex oooo, so na only one kg I lost for the whole week? Hoowever, I also checked on the old school scale and it said 85.5kg. She advised I go with the first result, and shd not be discouraged. Nothing spoil, the good news is that I eat healthy and my tummy has reduced, I fit better in my clothes!
I pray we all get our BFPs soooooooon

@rockqueen, u don see say I no reduce as u dey expect.
@all, I hv more muscles as in I look thick and big, my body is hard, unlike some pple whose body are soft and shakes when they walk. I don't lknow if this has an impact in my inability to reduce as anticipated.

IAM DETERMINED this jara weight MUST go!

@All
I like aki hausa (tiger nut) before now. i decided to google about it now. Here is one article l want you all to read about it

http://news.peacefmonline.com/health/200911/32426.php

in case u dont have time to read it, read this small info l find very interesting among others:

Chufa(chufa is Spanish name for tiger nut) promotes the production of urine, this is why it is a preventive measure for cyst, prostrate, hernia, rectum deformation and prolapsed (anal feature-small painful flesh and the tip of the anus) and to prevent endometriosis or fibrosis as well as blockage of the tip of the fallopian tube.

God will look upon us this time around. Am for it! May is my wedding anniversary month - all am asking HIM is a BFP as anniversary present! Am convinced HE will hear us!

The one am wearing today is already loose.... So so happy. I have to make this a permanent lifestyle!
Courtesy of all of you. Sending to everyone here!

Nubiaanqueen
I dont know what you have done, but from research, l know of many herbs that can reverse early menopause. People who have gotten to their menopause took the herbs and starting menstructing again, some even got pregnant without knowing. Pls do your research. I thank God you know there's nothing God cannot do. I dont see the reason to break up with your boyfriend because l strongly believe there is a WAYOUT, however you know whats good for you.

Rockqueens..amen ooo God will definately answer all our heart desires.
Seanbell.. The mantle of knackson is hereby transfered to you. dont get too bothered with ur temp results, keep the knackson going.
Hebrewwoman.. Everything will work out in your favour. BTW are u in 9ja, if yes which hospital do you use? l like the proactive nature of your gynea.
Mandate...Am jealous of your chart oo, wish i had started early. But do you actually believe you O on the day FF said?

My Temp update
36.3 from previous 36.2. lets see what FF will say by the end of probably this week. However am on CD21, on a normal cycle l O today. But from my observations, i may say l Oed on CD19. Checked my Cervix today shaa and it is Soft and open... dont understand again jare. i will try as much as possible to cover all bases.

Didn't go to church as planned. Dinner is over.

Licked soup -okro with ugu leaf
One mangoe
@all
How is d best way to eat fruit - befor or after meal? I hv heard 30mins b4 ur meal.

Hebrewwoman
This ur exercise plan is tempting oo but hmmmmm
So all my plan for hotdog is in vain.

Seanbell
Hope u aren't fasting this nite

MSTIA
Congratulations.. the fact that u wrote this, means you didnt experience pain. i expereinced pain cos l didnt take painkiller and probably because it showed one blocked tube.

The goodnews is that if there is a blocked tube, another hsg will unblock it in most cases, i.e if you dont have a gynea who is good at doing the unblocking.Mine did another process to unblock it at the cost of N30k
A colleague of mine had one blocked tube, did another hsg after a year and it got unblocked. This is not your portion dear, just sharing the info.

congrats the end of our waiting is now!

Seanbabe... am dashing u the mantle of knackson since ur O is around the corner... very soon we go enter defence like mandate now.

Seanbell
