Hata @Wendz alikuwa hivo akaweka effort and now in very good shape!!!

......som many of the so called Momos like eating on the streets and I have observed this, the FACT is that any man/woman has the ability to contrl that excess FAT!!!!!

This is you 1st post....ok, mmmh!!!!

I still don't know the cost of Magilim pills.

But using the costs from that "Adipex Phen375" website, we calculate that 30 tabs = USD 70 (Ksh 5950).

So, 1 capsule = Ksh 200.

So if one is taking 3 caps (1.125g) three times a day = 9 caps = Ksh 1800 per day

In 1 month (30days) = Ksh 54000

You will need to take them for 4 months (16 weeks) to lose 4.5kg = Ksh 216000.

Therefore, for @kelele.com to lose 30kgs to come to an acceptable weight of 80kgs, he will need to have spent, Ksh 1440000. Ksh 1.44 MILLION!

You are not assured of the contents of these pills and they are being sold at CRAZY prices!

GO TO THE GYM! Please.

Exercise, exercise, exercise! Jogging is the best option. Squats - properly done - also help burn fat.

Take lots of water and fruits. For starters, take atleast two glasses of warm/hot water the first thing in the morning. Also take your fruits in the morning if possible. Fruits, freshly squeezed fruit juice and lots of water will help you cleanse your colon naturally thereby shedding a couple of kilos, improve your metabolism and reduce your chances of getting sick!

Google "Japanese Water Cure".

You should also Google "water weight". If you don't take enough water, the body STORES the little you take which adds to your weight! The only way to loose this weight is to take bucket loads of water. If the body realises you are taking enough water, it releases the stored water.

So, @kelele, did you eventually try it? If not, I'd advise you not to. As one wazuan has shown, that thing comes off as a bit too expensive. And besides, even though it is 'harmless' fibre, no one really knows the long term effects it is likely to have on your gut. I found some info/opinion here, go through it when you get the time:

I'm 'wazuaring' on my kabambe and I'm not able to embed the link right now.

Personal testimony: I once was indisposed for quite a long time (road accident) as a result of which I was immobile for quite a while (almost 3yrs) and consequently put on too much weight for my own good.

Soon as I felt good enough to begin to be physically active, I made a few lifestyle changes. Out went the taxis (nowadays kuna bodaboda pia). I insist on being physically active and as a result I got a house in a place that was/is at least 30mins from my workplace. I insisted on walking to work daily, I still do.

Next was diet modification. Away with the white bread and other refined carbohydrates, in with the brown bread and stuff. To guard against 'waiganjo' brown bread (ile ya food color tu), I ensured I sourced mine from uchumi outlets, hiyo bakery yao sina shaka nayo. Even then, bread was not a daily affair, still isn't. I went more for sweet potatoes, arrowroots, yams, and other traditional foods as well as porridge (here, I mill my own sorghum, millet, soybean mix, I find the one in shops unpalatable. Never mix more than three ingredients, so the nutritionists warn us).

I also made sure I had my fruits first thing on getting up in the morning. To this day, first thing I do upon arising is have my banana, pawpaw, or indeed any other fruit. I know fruits can be quite expensive, always buy what is in season to keep costs manageable. At same time, I generally avoid snacks in between meals, so that the idea of sausages, mandazi, samosa, etc at 10 o'clock or at 4 o'clock doesn't arise. If you must take a snack, take nuts e.g cashewnuts or peanut.


That said, just get on with it and get moving. Set realistic goals and keep working towards them. I knew I hadn't gained the weight in a day and so in my case I simply set myself a goal to lose weight but with no time frame, I gave myself an open-ended cheque.

From my experience, commitment is the biggest impediment to losing weight. It'll take a lot of guts for you to turn down that lift from your neighbor/colleague/pal who is headed in the same direction as you all because you'd rather walk. It takes even more guts kukubali kuchomwa na jua na 'kumwagiliwa' vumbi na magari yapitayo all because you wanna walk. The temptation to give up is even greater if you have your own car and you opt to leave it parked while you take route 11 (or footsubishi as I've heard it called). Be prepared to have people make fun of you and talk behind your back because of some of these changes. Often times you'll be called stingy when you turn down an offer to join them for lunch at the local hotel (by the way, in this case I insist on carrying my own home-cooked food for lunch) and others will call you henpecked when you turn down that beer bottle and head on home. Nothing will sabotage your weight-loss quest faster than unregulated alcohol consumption.

At other times your body will totally refuse to cooperate and you have to summon willpower to simply put one foot ahead of the other. I remember often times I'd be so breathless that I'd feel like quitting. At other times my heart would beat so 'loudly' I'd often fear I was gonna die of a heart attack. But I still kept moving.

Now imagine my surprise about 2.5yrs after my quest began, when I found out that I'd lost 15kgs. The feeling was exhilarating to say the least. I was generally healthier than before and a distance that initially took me 45mins to cover could now be covered in half the time. Since then, I've managed to maintain that weight by being strict with all those lifestyle changes and all without going to a gym per sé, just by being physically active.

If you haven't already began @kelele, I'd encourage you to make that first move. After that things will sort of acquire some momentum of their own. As much as possible, I'd advise you to keep off all these fancy tablets and supplements and other fad diets, most aren't sustainable or viable in the long term. Don't be too harsh on yourself, since you didn't put on all the extra weight in a flash, allow yourself some reasonable time to lose it. In my case it took me well over 2yrs and I didn't weigh myself in the intervening period.

And when the temptation to quit is greatest, say a simple prayer as you think of all the benefits that will accrue as you manage your weight to within reasonable levels (from reducing your risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases to simple things like being able to join your spouse for a walk or being able to play with your (grand)kids, etc). Go on, surprise yourself!
