Bumight; Week 2

So I'm guessing this is my week 2 post.
So, I stepped on the scale today, and i weighted 159.5 Ibs!!!!
I have broken 160! woo-hoo!!!

I've been working out for months now, and somehow, I haven't broken 160, even though I noticed that I have become a little fitter! So what did I do different this week?

I usually try to run 4 miles, three times a week. Last week, I only ran on Teusday. Also I only made it to the gym once last week, instead of my three times a week (well, I did ab excercises on saturday sha). I recently started taking a fat burner pill. so really, I think the weight loss is due to the supplement. Its supposed to be used in conjuction with diet and excercise.

On the diet front, my diet is not as clean as it used to be: meaning, I ate more naija food last week. yeah, I made jollof rice, fried rice, beans etc (well, fried rice has all those vegetables in it, so it cant be that unhealthy? lol) One major thing I have been doing is portion control. When I eat my iyan, my vegetable soup is a LOT! like twice as much! I try not to eat a lot of rice (but that fried rice was so good!)

Another thing I do is when I'm making naija food, I try to measure everything I put in the food and then log it in myfitnesspal. What I noticed is naija food is not that unhealthy. For instance, the last time I made moi-moi, I logged everything, and it turns out one pouch of my moi moi is just 164 calories! Also, I try to make rice more of the side dish instead of the main dish and have it with chicken breast or a 4 oz steak.

One day, I'll put up a post about healthy eating: naija style! Anyways, I'm still on a high about my sub 160!

kaura's week2

So I'm having a bit of difficulty with my scale, I just moved into a new place along with the scale and now it's confused. in one position I weigh 181lbs and in another I weigh about 187lbs, I'm considering switching to digital scale, perhaps that might give more accurate readings.

So far I've been eating better, I took a cue from sting  and phunkie and stocked up on frozen vegetables, for lunch and sometimes dinner. for breakfast, I've been having oatmeal with a little sugar, or All bran flakes with vanilla soy milk (till I can buy some almond milk). One thing I have to work on is sticking to one portion, yesterday for example I had like 3+  bowls of cereal (greed). I haven't been doing any special exercises because of my osteoarthritis besides walking. That's my week 2 so far.

Sugabelly - Week 2

Blergh! This week.

Okay, so I'm consoling myself because I've been doing Jillian Michaels' 30 Day shred.

I am in SO MUCH PAIN!!!!!!!!

But somehow, the scale said I had gained weight.

Probably because after a day of successful dieting, I wake up in the middle of the night and start eating toast and peanut butter.

This is a bad habit. I need to stop it. I'm also in the habit of drinking Bacardi Breezers in the middle of the night.

Anyway, I don't have a scale picture because my scale goes blank before I can reach for my phone to take the picture. I'll figure something out soon.

These are my measurements for today:

Neck - 15 inches (down from 15.5)

Chest (under breasts) - 37 inches (down from 38)

Waist - 37 inches (down from 40)

Hips - 45 inches (down from 50)

And according to the scale today, I weigh 258.8lbs. So I went up.

A little bit, but still depressing.

Hopefully, there'll be a big improvement next week.

Okeoghene- Week 2

 

This is my weigh in for week 2. Seems like  I gained the weight I lost last week and  I am back to my 180lbs. Means more work for me.

PS: Don't know how I managed to upload the picture twice.

Mojisola - Week 2

I had to move my feet aside to view the weight. Bear with me, I am still learning to use the scale. When you step off it asks if you want to store the weight as 1 or 2 and then will calculate weight loss from the last measurement. I am yet to figure out how to recall saved info and with the number of people who weigh themselves after me (hubby, brother, sister, kids), I doubt the saved info is even accurate.
For this week,

Weight: 234.4 lbs

Anyhu compared to last weeks' stats

Weight: 235.6lbs (107.1kg)

I seem to have lost 1.2lbs. I started the early morning lime and warm water cleanse, and to be honest, I do not feel it doing anything. I backslid on Thursday because I failed an exam and went out to get some crispy fried chicken, added the suya pepper I had at home; had some vanilla ice  cream with crunched up waffle cones and a midnight snack of pounded yam and egusi and just ate and ate and ate. Though I must mentioned they were all small quantities but I must've had like 3000 calories in all that night. I felt much better afterwards and motivated enough to starve from like friday evening until sunday evening, only eating coleslaw and some fish i baked. Knowing that I had to weigh myself first thing on Monday morning helped too. Hopefully I will try to incorporate some kind of workout this week.

PS. I apologize for the unkempt feet. Will get a pedicure before the next post.

Izzie Week 2

Waist = 33

Hips = 41

Waist/Hip ratio = 0.80

Thigh = 25

Lost the extra 0.5lbs..No surprise there. Hoping to be consistent with my 22 days nutrition challenge...hmmmmm

Alice Week 1

Current weight -185.8

I'm sending this without a picture right now because I forgot yesterday and I'm out right now.. If I don't do this I'll probably forget again tonight.

I gained about 3.5 pounds this week, which frankly is impossible, I ate 80/20 clean, worked out every single day.... So I know this is my body reacting to the fact that I upped my calories a bit... I'm averaging about 1800 calories daily now, more on days when I workout twice, bringing me to a net of 1300-1400 on an average daily, there's no way I can be gaining weight from that. So what I'm seeing on the scale, is my body recovering from its period of starvation and holding on to every morsel of food and water, from what I've read this can go on up to 3 weeks.

Even though I have read and I understand the logic behind this, its really hard to watch the scale go up Instead of down and not reflect all my hardwork. Left to me I wouldn't have checked my weight this entire month if not for you guys.

Slow and steady right? This is me taking the biggest risk ever, for someone like me and how far I had come, climbing numbers is a very big deal and its killing me. I hope I am making the right decision.

Have a great week guys.. And make healthier choices

Misslara Week 2 weigh in

So, look who bought a bathroom scale!! I just had to! I used to go weigh myself at boots pharmacy but this should work...

So last week I was just there.. I worked out but on the food front I was just Bleh... I wasn't a complete good girl... Anyhoo, I weigh 110.1kg as of today, I do not keep track of other measurements... I just got back fro class and I'm going to go get some work out in... Ciao Ladies!

Sting Week 2

Weight- 161lbs.
Down 3.2lbs (total)

Didn't work out at all this past week. I had done some weight training 2 weekends ago and my body hurt for a while. I was supposed to work out this past weekend but over slept and had to study the rest of the day. Excuses, excuses :) I am going to go today though.

I am eating right, no cheating - Beans and stew, oatmeal, Mixed veggies and fish, and i snack on almonds, roasted soybeans and dried sweetened cranberries and of course water.

I think the right stats are 80% diet and 20% gym though

Exercise is so important for our health and general well being, but if your goal is weight loss and you are struggling with both exercising and eating healthy, I would say focus on getting your healthy eating habits down before you worry about exercising. If you can do both at the same time, that would be great, if not make sure you try to keep eating right.

Have a great week guys.

Isha Week 2 Weigh In

I'm sorry, I don't have a photo again this time. I need to buy a new phone. (And I'm mobile blogging again).

I gained weight last week. I didn't work out on Thursday, Friday and Saturday 'cause I strained the muscles in my in-step (both feet). I managed to allow Maya (Wii Fitness Trainer) to wear me out for 45mins last night though. Oh, and I had a milkshake on Saturday... *covers face*.

Week 2 Weigh In: 97.7kg

My thighs, hips and bust remained the same; I lost another half inch around my waist - now 36.5".

I usually work out twice a day, about 30mins each time. I hope I can get back on schedule this week. I need a massage too.

I installed MyFitnessPal. Awesome app. Makes me more conscious about what I eat now, not just the calories but the nutritional content too. I try to make sure I don't eat more carbs (especially) than I'm allowed for the day. It's quite helpful!

I wish you a Healthy and Fit week!
