Bumight: Week 4

I think my scale might be broken as I'm back up to 161 Ibs!!! *sigh* lol.

I did better on my measurements though
waist: 29.5 (-0.5)
Abdomen: 33
Hips: 39.5 (-0.5)
Thighs: L21, R 20.5 (-1)

So I'm down 2 inches! and my waist is in the twenties! its the little victories like these that count. I've decided to stay off bread for two weeks. My boyfriend keeps insisting on rewarding me with Ice cream everytime I pass a milestone! I'm learning how to say No  though :) so Instead of the middle size (love it) at Coldstone I now get the small size (like it), lol.

Bumight: Week 3

why is everyone on week 4 already?

Anyways, I stepped on the scale, and I'm back at 160! i gained 0.5 Ibs! I'm still on my supplement, but I excercised more this week, so I want to believe it was muscle weight, lol.

I then decided to do my measurements again:

Waist: 30
Abdomen: 33 (-1)
Hips : 40
Chest 31 (-1)
Boobs: 36 (-1)
Thighs 21 each (-4)

so apparently, I lost a total of 7 inches! I'm more than happy with that. Then I decided to take pictures and compare. my sisters, the difference is 7 up!

On that note, i suggest we have a naijafatbusters instagram page. you dont have to post face pictures. Crop the pictures from the neck down. You might not even put your name beside the pictures. maybe code names/.lettters? Its just a thought sha. you know what they say, a picture is worth a thousand words!

Still basking in the euphoria of my inches lost, I decided to try on my goal pants! IT FITS!!!!
these are skinny jeans that once would not pass my thighs. The last time I tried them on, I could pull them up but I couldn't zip up. Now I can zip them up! even though I still look like an overstuffed seapork in them, but IT FITS!!!

MSMT: week 3

Phunkie O: Week 3

Sorry this is late. Don't have a scale and had to use a friend's.

Considering that I have barely worked out in the last 2 weeks and I have a eaten 60% (probs more) junk, I'm happy to see that I am still maintaining at my start weight.

Please excuse my grubby toes.

Now that my schedule is less crazy, my workout plan from June will be:

MWF: Power Training
T/Th: Yoga
Sat: Zumba (maybe)
Sunday: Yoga

I also do Zumba. Depending on my my energy, hydration and nutrition levels I prefer to do my Zumba just before Yoga. So 1 hour of Zumba and then 1 hr of Yoga. I pace myself so I don't do too much.

I will depending on how bored I am, take the occasional "ab-class". They are just ab-intensive workouts and not total body workouts.

Depending on how interested I am, I will also do the occasional monthly challenge. For example, In Feb, I did a Plank Challenge. Started Day 1 planking for 30 secs and increased daily by 5 seconds up until the month ended.

Above all, I listen to my body. If I ain't feeling it, it sure ain't happening.

Peace and Light,

Phunkie O

Week 3 - better late than never

Week 2: 234.4lb

Week 3: 235.4lb

Gained one pound.

I weighed myself first thing Monday morning but, its supposed to be my week off and course, I've been trying to shop groceries, clothes (summer clothes for the kids are on sale), clean all the nooks and crannies (no help and once school resumes aint nobody gat time for that), and of course hubby has a thousand and one things for me to help him with. Its Thursday  am glad I got so much done (even though i have so much left to do) and this is the first morning I have had to myself all week.

Anyway to be honest, I have not begun to exercise yet. I have been eating junk on the go and sweets here and there but I am still watching portion sizes. I have my hot and spicy chicken sandwich with just one bun and no fries, no soda at all, only getting water or "fresh squeezed" lemonade. I was still dealing with some PMS bloating which was much better this month considering that my weight was not that much higher than the week before (I average about 3-4 lb in water weight gain). I call it water weight because when I was on weight loss pills (phentermine with a diuretic) I experienced little or no bloating during my periods.

I should be back on track starting today with no in between meals, no sugar and no junk food. Also going to cook some beans.

Sting - Week 3

I took this monday morning but didn't have time to upload until now.

Down a total of 4lbs since we started. I am happy for the progress. I really thought my scale was broken when i weighed myself at the end of March and it read 165lbs, because i was 154lbs in dec. Then i didn't weigh myself for 3 months and wasn't aware my weight was creeping back up. I am pleased to see it's going back down. So since beginning of April, i have actually lost 5lbs, but i lost the first pound while we were waiting to officially start.

I only exercised once this past week and it was on Saturday. I dragged myself there yesterday evening. I have just been eating a lot of beans to be honest. I don't eat rice, bread or any of our usual staple carbs. I'm looking for more protein substitutes because i am bored with beans. I got some chicken breast but haven't had time to cook.

With regards to exercising, i am really not exercising for weight loss at this point. I just want to be physically fit. When we round in the hospital, it's usually rush rush, and we have to walk fast and all that. Whenever my patient is the first stop, i am always panting while trying to present and i hate that. I just want to be fit for now. I really don't believe you can exercise and eat junk and yet lose weight. Best that can happen for most people is that they won't gain weight.

My overall goal for this year is to be less than 150lbs because i no longer want to be considered overweight. 


Congrats to everyone as we continue to fight to reach our goals.

Meme (lol)

I'm loving this blog, and it's not about the competition anymore, but the fact that we're supporting one other like this. It's awesome!

Side note:

#Confession. I didn't check my weight for the weigh in this week, cos I was like, "it's gotta be the same. I didn't work out as much, and didn't eat special veggie meals. So, bleh..." Well, I was 'listening' to y'all bragging about your weight loss and was like, lemme even check what's going on. So I stepped on my scale and it read 95.4kg. No way! So I stepped off and stepped back on - 95.7kg. Maybe I was holding my breath (or the scale was made in China. But I'm thrilled. I haven't been 95 point anything since like 2012 I think.

A little goes a long way. I'm motivated to do more. *now eyes those 'freakum' dresses I stashed behind my closet two years ago*

Kaura's week 3

I'm at 181lbs

I ate really poorly this weekend for every meal except breakfast. Breakfast was oatmeal and a banana on saturday and sunday after that, I lost track of when lunch ended and dinner began. (Must work on mindless "snacking") lots of rice and stew, and jollof rice, juice, and granola bars. I think I'm addicted to the granola bars. It seems healthy but it's 220calories per pack I think I ate like six yesterday.  I'll be working on my snacking habit this week.On second thought I think I'll just avoid snacking all together, I don't have the will power yet.

Okeoghene Week 3 Weigh-in

I promised myself I must post my weigh in today no matter what. After taking a snapshot of my bathroom scale measurement in the morning, come time for posting, I can't find my usb cable. I will just put the measurement down and come back tomorrow to update with a picture.

Weight-  180lbs
Waist- 32"
Hips- 42"

I didnt lose any weight from my weigh in last week but I have lost 2" from my waist and hips.

For my exercise, I am still on the Jillian Michaels ripped in 30 * I only did it once last week* I will do better this week* and my C25k program, I am more consistent. I am running/jogging 3 minutes at a stretch now.

For my nutrition, I added fruits and reduced added sugars. I also reduced my portions last week by half, I think I am closer to what a portion should look like now, than when I joined this challenge. There is still work to be done though. I am drinking 3 bottles of water now * that is like 48 oz* and I am really happy that after 3 weeks I can do that.

Isha Weigh in 3

My weight hasn't changed. I managed to sprain my foot by wearing the wrong running shoes, so I haven't been able to do any meaningful cardio. I'm testing out the Nikes I just bought tomorrow sha.

Also, my fitness pal says I'm not eating enough. That I need to eat at least 1200 calories per day so that my body doesn't go 'starvation mode' on me. Lol. Ah well. But I need to figure out protein meals. Naija makes that so difficult. My new favorite snacks: cashews+raisins, boiled egg.

The good news:
Waist: 35.5
Breasticles: 39.5
Arm: 15.5 (I couldn't believe this one. More jumping jacks then!)
Thigh: 29.75
Hips: Same

Happy weight loss week me lovelies.
