@ Wendz,

Remember what weight gain is and you will realise to lose it you need to do the opposite. Weight gain is where your input (chakula) is greater than your output (the many ways you use and burn energy.) What you need is to find a way to tip this balance just slightly and you are on your way to not just losing weight but maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Like someone said, it is a longterm project and I would advocate like Chepkel says finding ways of incorporating activities in your daily life.

Remember for a weight program to be successful it is the frequency that is more important than the intensity. Do not do anything today that you could not possibly repeat tomorrow and the day after and so on (like climbing 23 flights of stairs!) It is better to incorporate a small change that you can do every day than a big one that you will dread to repeat.

Eating: You are eating wrong girl!!!!!! There is no such thing as "just" snacking. Let me explain. People who skip meals eg breakfast or lunch end up "just" having a meatpie here, a mandazi there, a soda here and a cake there. They have not eaten but have "just" had a few snacks. Guess what?! They have eaten and not just eaten but eaten a lot of junk! Rule number one to healthy living. THOU SHALT NOT SKIP A MEAL!!!!!!! You must make a deliberate attempt to plan what you will eat. Planning does not just mean planning for the content but more importantly the TIME. The most difficult thing to plan for is breakfast so plan to wake up early. Just say even 15 minutes and what you want to do is SIT DOWN for 15 minutes or 10 minutes and have your breakfast. Whatever you have planned to have, a fruit, chai na mkate etc. SIT DOWN, BE STILL and have it. The idea is never to eat on the go but to think about what you are eating and enjoying it. With time you will see you will start planning to have things that are good for you. Try and eat to your fill at meal times and you will find this not only eliminates the need to snack but you also eat a more wholesome meal.

THOU SHALT ONLY EAT WHOLE GRAINS. Kama ni mkate, let it be whole wheat. Siaga unga for Ugali and try whole grain rice. They are good for you.

I wish you well in your weight loss program but above all I wish you good health and a healthy lifestyle. It feels good to be healthy and well.

lakini wendz..for the sake of njunge and i..please at the least send each of us a before pic...

@Wendz
As you put the info into good use, remember to eat lots of vegetables and fruits. They will really help.

@Wendz
LOL! Welcome to the big gals club!(more power!hehehe)

Seriosly though,
-Eat well,avoid snacks,fast foods and yummy stuff like the plague!
-Eat lots of fruits and veggies,healthy juices and water
-Walk,walk,walk! Its amazing what a mere 20 to 30min walk a day can do to your weight loss program!
-Do some housework,its one of the best and cheapest forms of exercises you can ever do!Kwanza those boring ones of scrubbing walls and windows,dusting the ceiling.etc
-Ask your siblings/friends/relatives to dump their 2-7yr old kids at your house for the weekend/holiday. Trust me,after you spend the wknd running after the little trouble makers all over the compound,you'll definitely shed 5kgs! works for me every so often!

If all fails...Take heart,tuko wengi! We'll start a support group...
