I dont struggle with weight loss. I embraced my weight and we made gains.

I recently lost 6kgs in 3months. For a mama my size.height and age,that was quite an achievement! i had gotten to that age and point in life where weight gain and you seem to have a very healthy relationship,and you find yourself accepting the potbelly,tyres,cellulite et al...

Anywayz,since July last year,i started jogging in my hood,then being active in hikes,marathons,walks etc.. and then came the 2mountains! one in Oct(Mt.Kenya) and 2nd in Dec(Kilimanjaro). And woooop! all the fat that i had previously given up on melted! I have continued with the fitness regime,and although me and the gym divorced a while back,i run 15km a week,walk about 10 or more and try to do a hike every other weekend. I also gave up on my favourite Pizza and chocolate(ouch),and focus more on veggies,fruits and a balanced diet. The downside is,none of my clothes fit anymore! I've taken so many to the tailor in the last few months...until last week the tailor just told me 'Eh,mathe si ununue tu zingine?'

So,@Wendz, now that am sure Dec's calories are driving you nuts... Join me we be running together. I promise not to giggle when you pant after just a 5minute run

...misuse of terms and conditions that make marriage work..or anything else that serves the underlined purpose...

@Wendz,

Could I ask on behalf of Wazuans what have been your progress since you posted your request, what was your weight then, what is your weight now? Let's see if it has helped.

I am not sure anyone mentioned this but Vegies will work wonders.

Here is what I have seen work for my lady friends.


1.Eliminating all processed foods

2.Taking lots of vegetables and drinking lots of water.

3.Cutting down on Carbohydrates even whole grains but not elimination them all together

4. Take a walk daily but do not stress your body

5. Do you take Tusker? I am sorry you will have to reduce significantly or eliminate it altogether.

6. Start slowly and progress. If you start on aggressive exercises, you will send the wrong message to the body meaning that you may end up building muscle or increasing weight.

7. Now, there is something about vegies, other than helping you to lose weight, they aslo work on your skin in a way none of the items you get from the shops can do.

Please Wendz, if you love your self do something now.

By the way? what is your BMI? may be you should be adding weight!!!

I'm thinking its definately cheaper to buy gym equipment than kutupa pesa in these expensive gym za Nairobi in the long run.What can a kool 6k per month do?Ata stima haifiki hiyo bei - translates to 72k per year ama 100k+ for membership.Walk into any Nakumatt and look at the prices for a multi-purpose bench that can do sit ups,bench press,humstring and a lot more,add the weights and it won't cost you over 45k,even if you go for a technologically advanced machine,bei is unbelievable - i'm thinking seriously about this prospect this year.
