Hi Vijaya, congrats on your one kg weight loss. You are doing good. From this week see if you can increase your walk to one hour (15 more minutes) or do light jogging in between walking (it is called interval jogging). This will help to increase your heart rate and is a good form of cardio exercise. Try for a while (maybe 5-10 mins) and then gradually increase it everyday. With a constant low-calorie diet you are following (im assuming) and this exercise pattern, you should lose further weight.Drink lots of water and include fruits in your diet. Take light dinners.

Good luck.

Hi pman,
I couldnt post for the past 2 weeks, my DS was sick, then I was sick and then my knee pain was back with a vengence. I am just maintaining my weight. There is not much, I am feeling a little down. I wish I could atleast lose 2-4 lbs in these two weeks. Its like I missed my balance. Well done to all who r losing weight.

Dear H2L,

Sorry to hear about your kid. The weather in US is becoming quite unpredictable now. Dont worry, once you adopt smart eating and exercise regularly, you will get back into routine without much difficulty.

Take care of your knee pain first and dont do much of walking exercises for a while.
Get well soon.

Hi Shinibli,

Congrats for reaching your goal. You are a winner. May your new year start with eating healthy and exercising right.

Hi Pman,
Thnx.
I really have to work hard to keep my cravings on a tight leash during this holiday season with all the yummy food and cakes around....but bagging lots of compliments keeps me going.

Anyways am sure u and all the other friends participating in this challenge will soon achieve their target. Good Luck on that.

On the way to make healthy-controlled eating and regular exercising, my lifestyle.
