@udoka, I had you in mind all thru this week, cos I could hear ur disapproval in my head lol! That's why I didn't eat so much

@nefer. Ha fa? Shey u don buy the new scale ni? So what's it saying? Am jealous already

Good morning all,
While we fast, let's remember to keep praying..
I'll be posting some prayer points...feel free to post some too cos we need to strengthen our faith.

Isaiah 4:4
"When the Lord has washed away the filth if the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst...."

Lord! Please make my womb holy for conception!
Purge any bad blood within me, whether natural or unnatural from within me and put in order every organ necessary for my conception to take place today in Jesus Name!
Let there be a re-creation, re-organisation and re-arrangement of my reproductive organs by Your spirit of judgment and burning IJN....Amen!

Rocksqueen
Lolllllll. Let's see whether u don repent...cos I can smell akpu and oha abi na olugbo with ede in ur kitche...waiting for ur confession.
U had A3 this wk. But mennnh yesterday hunger catch me, you can smell that in my log.
MIRACLES still happen, trusting God for a miracle of BFPs for all of us

BTW, I researches that tumeric an ingredient in curry helps with low progesterone and thyme has estrogen property. AM staying away from thyme notice that anything estrogen messes up my cycle. No mind me with my research ooo, looking for natural solution why believing God for miracle

Again if u google GLUTEN a peoperty in wheat and fertility, you will run away from wheat and wheat product...what do we now eat, cos white flour and its product is also no no no

John 5:21
"For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will."

Lord, infuse my organs with Your life giving Spirit.
Fill my uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries and all other organs responsible for conception, with Your divine fertilizing power and Your Spirit of conception in the name of Jesus Christ!

Rocksqueen this is a very good new diamension, lovimg it abeg cos I was getting bored of d fasting alrdy thanks for gearing me up again

@nefer
Pls let's hear fromu ooo, if its still smae, maybe we are not rilly doing anything

1Samuel 1:27
"For this child I prayed and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him"

Because You are the God of all flesh and NOTHING is too hard for you to do, even if my womb is shut or has passed the age of menopause, Father I thank You that all my petitions regarding conceiving a child(ren) are granted today regardless in Jesus Name. My womb is opened to receive new arrivals of my babies to earth. I shall conceive whether in my ovulation period or not in Jesus' precious name...

Exodus 23:25-26
"So you shall serve the Lord your God and He shall bless your bread and water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you. No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfil the number of your days"

Father! In this pregnancy period, bless my bread and my water. Bless every of my intake not to affect conception nor to harm my baby in the womb. Give me the wisdom to eat and drink appropriate things and in the right proportion.
Lord! Please be my preventive measures; take away sicknesses and diseases from me that I may not suffer any chemical pregnancies, miscarriages nor cast out my young. Bless everything within me and let me not take any accursed thing that may cause me trouble in my flesh in this season in Jesus' name.

Psalm 147:13
"For He has strengthened the bars of your gates: He has blessed your children within you"

Dear Lord!I thank You for this word and ask today, please strengthen the bars of my womb gates to conceive. Let the children You have blessed within spring forth in Jesus name...Amen!

Isaiah 27:6
"Those who come He shall cause to take root in Jacob; Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit"

Dear Lord! As You have said that this is another era of the baby boom. Make me a worthy partaker of this season's baby boom. Let part of these children You have purposed to fill the earth with, come through my womb and that of other daughters of Abraham and Sarah in our TTC threads, who are looking to You for heirs from their own flesh in Jesus name.....AMEN!

(mrskem

thats great ooo, 5kg ...but while am l not loosing like everybody here :' make una hold me, l dey vex:'

udoka2: (mrskem

thats great ooo, 5kg ...but while am l not loosing like everybody here :' make una hold me, l dey vex:'

@Udoka, abeg no vex, me too no loose too much oo, last week I did not drop oo. Though I usually add weight once its ovulation. I think the key is to eat healthy.

MSTIA
thank u, but if l can even drop up to 5kg that will be great achievement for me. two weeks ago nothing nothing, if l had checked ysterday am sure l wont have dropped too. yeah, l console myself with the fact that l eat healthy. i cant wait to stop using these useless oils we have around..maybe its contributing.

@Udoka no Vex oh, just listen to ur body and pamper it well. Really i wish i loosed more, 5kg took forever to loose. i hope your body had not gone to starvation mode that might be the reason for not recording any weight loss. for me i just change my diet and eat more vegetable and fruit. and no processed food.and my major change is portion control, am an emotional eater. so i tend to watch with eyes wide open to record what i eat and drink.

l dey do the portion control well well..l trust myself for that. l dont think its also starvation mode, cos l really eat, its just that l try to eat healthy.. my DH dey yab me that l dey change diet, dey enjoy my life in the name of loosing weight..so l really eat, just that am careful wt what l eat, even when l eat unhealty meal, l do it very little with plenty healthy compensation.

i dont understand jare, cant wait to weigh this wkend... but am aren't giving up!!!!!

Stavation mode :Question: I have been told that when I eat too little, my body goes into starvation mode to protect itself, and that it will slow down my weight loss. Is this true and how can I avoid starvation mode?

Answer: Many weight loss coaches use the term “starvation mode” to describe your body’s natural response to protect itself when you don’t eat enough for extended periods. When you regularly eat too little food to provide your body with the necessary nutrients, it perceives itself to be in danger from starvation. Since your body is wonderfully designed to protect you, it will slow down your metabolism to conserve energy so it can keep vital organs such as the brain and the heart going for as long as possible in the face of the perceived threat. While it will burn fat for fuel, it will also start burning lean muscle mass for fuel, which will slow down your metabolism even further. People on starvation diets invariably find that they regain all the weight they’ve lost (and then some) very quickly as soon as they start eating again.

While a starvation diet may help you lose weight quite fast in the short term, you will pay a heavy price because you are setting yourself up for a lifetime of weight problems. Your metabolism gets progressively slower with each day you remain on a starvation diet. This resultant slower metabolism needs less fuel, so you consistently have to eat less and less to lose weight! As your metabolism slows down even further and your lean muscle mass dwindles you will also find that you become more and more tired. This in turn means you will get less exercise, which leaves you with less lean muscle, and an even slower metabolism. It really is a vicious cycle. The importance of protecting your lean muscle mass to boost your metabolism can not be stressed enough.

The question arises: when does your body go into starvation mode? As with anything that involves the human body, there is no one single answer that will be true for everyone. The levels at which starvation mode kicks in vary from person to person. What we can do though, is understand how it gets triggered so we can avoid getting our bodies in that state. Your decision of how much to eat should be based on your individual Total Daily Energy Requirements, which takes into account a variety of factors including height, weight, age, gender and activity levels. If you want to lose weight safely, without setting off the alarm bells in your body; aim to eat approximately 300 – 500 calories less than your total daily requirements. This will provide your body with enough fuel to keep it going comfortably, but will still create a sufficient caloric deficit to ensure that you lose weight. To protect your metabolism even further, make sure your diet contains enough protein and that you maintain / increase your activity levels.

Note. You will find that many experts advise you not to eat less than 1 200 calories per day to prevent starvation mode. This is just a general rule of thumb to provide advice in the absence of enough information. To be safe, get your individual Total Daily Energy Requirements calculated, and follow the advice above.

be sure you eat the required calories.

@Agiboma. You can get it at the Mall in Lekki. Try The Game shop cos they have almost everything.
