in Introduce Yourself
My name is Esther Brodrick-Shehu and am a Nigerian living in Nigeria, I need to find fellow Nigerians on MFP so we can share ideas and recipes. Counting calories on mFP is so helpful but most time the foods are not on the food list and so calorie counting can be Misleading. It's so nice to see some of our food on the food list, I was so excited the day I saw Eba and bitter leaf soup on the list. The weight loss journey so far is good all thanks to MFP.

    Hey! Thank God, I finally found some Nigerians! I'm Chioma, proudly a Nigerian and also live in Nigeria. I weight 81kg( I think that's 182lbs?) which is way too much considering my height (5'5) and all that. I used to weigh 56kg but I ended up gaining all that weight in 6 months due to some new medication I was doing, causing me to over eat. If anyone is interested in sharing recipes and motivations with me then just send me a reply! Oh and am moderately active (I don't gym but I move around a lot :p)

    Hey there! I’m Nigerian too :smile: I also gained weight due to medication 65lbs over 3years and although I’ve stopped the medication now I’m finding it hard to get back to my old self. I’m currently 215. I used to be a gym fanatic but lately I’m mostly sedentary. Efo will not let me blow. Feel free to ADD me up

    Hi Ladies, very excited to connect with people who understand our extra starchy foods in Naija :smirk: My biggest challenge is dinner when after a long day I just want some rice and stew until my tummy feels full! Been working on making healthier options that still make me feel full like soups and Brown rice. What's everyone else doing?

    Seems it's not. I'm gonna borrow an idea a from nairaland thread. They basically post their daily food and exercise log and weigh ins but the thread is so old I can't possibly resurrect it. So I'll be using this instead.
