@Njung'e

Finally you have realised all you were watching was matresses? LOL! Whoever burst your bubble....

tall man...same prayers here but for different reasons that i will not divulge

try walking to and from work daily to accumulate 10KMs. carry water on the head.

@ Wendz
Hoping its I am not too late with my input....

This works for me.....

1) I dont do diets...The are worse than no diets at all because when I am out of them I add up like hell.

2) I dont fill my tummy 100% - advice from a japanese friend a few years ago. 80% is good and comfortable.The problem with a lot of us kenyans is, we have grown up filling your tummy to the brim.

3) More veggies and a salad in every meals.

4) Much less carbs in the evening - more veggies
and no meals after 8:00 in the evening.

5) Little or no sugar inm ytea or coffee.

6) 1 hour jogging at least twice a week

7) Less alcohol - no beer at all, a glass or two of red wine (good for the heart) over the weekend

8) Taking the opportunity to walk as much as I can during the day- cars are good comfort but killers as well.

I dont have to deny myself any food and I manage to keep my weight at 62kg with a height of 1.75m .

I dont know if there is much you can borrow from it.
Factors such as different metabolism rates and age should be taken into account.

I wish i could.

@JWK
Trust me, you are not late. Today over lunch i walked to town from office. I doubt its 2kms... by the time i was back, I was tired, panting.... aaagrrh... this is bad! My biggest problem is the exercise bit. I need to do more walking.

I actually have made some progress in healthy eating. I have stopped stocking my office with biscuits and cookies. I reduced my coffee intake from 2 cups a day to 3 in a week. I havent not weighed myself yet because i know for sure i have not reduced. If only i can get some discipline with that car usage, i think i would get things in place.

@Wendz.

Sahau kutembea. It's a friggin' waste of time. I do CBD to Bunyala Rd at least 6 times a week. Was 108 kgs when I started - I've added 2½kgs more! The only one who benefits from this */&%^ arrangement is BATA!

If you're over 35 years, dawa ni moja tu! Mazoezi!
Walking and lame **s diets will just waste your time and add to your stress levels.

Solution? Jog hard! Hit the gym hard.

Try skipping its an easy way to loose weight without paying.start with 10-15 min as you progress.

@wendz u were advised to list down the things that makes you gain weight and the do exactly opposite.
eg. to little physical activities-increase them
junky foods-cook at home and increase the veges.
Avoid alcohol and its relatives(nyam choms,fizzy drinks)
plan to carry out a project that you have always thought impossible.
Last the key is not starting, it is consistency.

hows ur diet now?

Have you errm... tried horizontal exercises?
