Hey you, hope you are ready for the shape up challenge? If you are yet to make up your mind, don't be scared. You really don't have anything to lose but the excess fat disturbing you, LOL! I love competitions like this one, they bring out the best in me, what about you? *jumping and clapping* Wooohoooo!!! My blood is hot, even though i am not participating, i feel pumped.

- DO NOT starve thy self, i repeat, DO NOT starve thy self!! If you starve you wont lose much o, the fat will perch in one corner. There is a technique to fasting from food so as to achieve weight loss, i will share that one later. hehehe!
- Eat your heaviest meal in the morning and your lightest at night. Not the other way around biko.
- If you haven't cleansed before commencing, i suggest you take the first 3 to 7 days to do so, in order to achieve a maximum effect of weight loss.
- Have a diary where you document your daily activities. I mean your meals and the exercises you did. This will help you to make adjustments later and correct your mistakes.
- Drink as much water as you can through out. At least 3 liters or 8 glasses a day. I recommend 10 to 12 glasses a day, or 4 liters.
- If you are pregnant, do not attempt this challenge. My hand is not there oooo....heeeee! *pulling ears* wait for the baby to land before you get your body back.
- If you are nursing, take it easy, don't be tempted to over do it and do not detox while breast feeding.
- Workout real good. Whenever you get the chance put in AT LEAST 30 mins a day of exercise, you will get an added advantage.
- If you have to have a cheat meal, do that once a week, and eat whatever it is in small portions.
- Don't listen to negative talk, you are doing this for you, focus on the finish line and know that you are gifting yourself a healthy and beautiful life and body.
Things to avoid:
- Bread
- Soda (coke lovers, take note)
- White sugar
- Meat pie
- Sausage rolls
- Puff puff
- Doughnut
- Fried foods in general
- Burger
- Fries
- Chips
- Fruit juice
- Pizza
- Ice cream
- Cake
- Chin chin
- Chocolate
- Candy
- Children's biscuits (Many of us are guilty of this one) Leave your children's biscuit and caprisone alone!!! Hehehe!
- Noodles (The silent fatner)
These are the ones i can remember for now, i will update as time goes on, but these ones are major. if you can avoid them or eat very very little of them, then you will be fine. Don't forget to send in your pics if you are interested.Tomorrow night is the dead line for that. Some ladies have sent in theirs and i can feel the heat of competition already. Yess ooooo!!! All the best sweeties and God bless.
