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!smile

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


leona...any chance i cud get an ex-officio invite to said club?

@Wendz....those two I owe you will go well with the suggestion I gave, so when you start let me know.

How are you @mlefu?
When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

There is a formula I heard about on TV several years ago and you might want to try it.

RULE 1: Eat whatever your heart desires

RULE 2: Eat as much as you wish

RULE 3: Each morning, decide what you want to eat that day and the quantity [for all meals and snacks] and write it down on paper. Don not deny yourself anything you feel a craving for. Do this before taking your breakfast

RULE 4: Stick to the meal plan. Do not add or subtract anything except water. If you had decided to take two cups of tea and a client offers you a soda, decline it and ask for water instead.


NB: I have never needed to lose weight, therefore I have never tried this formula.
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

...I remember reading somewhere that in America most people would rather watch a boring program on TV if they cant locate the Remote, than stand to go and change the channel... No wonder many of them are being asked to pay for two seats in an aeroplane...

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.

@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.
