Weight Loss Support Group @ Chennai

Happy to see this thread alive and the pouring info..

Sudha...such a goodie friend...you can always tell me whatever you think ...dont be conscious in your replies...love you so much for your encouraging words...

Surely I'll try to stick up to your suggestions,,,,can you give me your recipe for ragi balls


Any other recipes...made of whole wheat for dinner..anybody...

What do you think abt oats...I happen to like oats...I can eat oats as rice with sambar ,rasam...how abt this for dinner....

What do you think abt weight training...

I have started drinking green tea...dunnno how far its going to play a role...

I tend to become very hungry around 4.30 in the evening....can you suggest something to suppress this hunger that wont spoil my early dinner.....

Hi Shravanthika,
You can make a salad and take it when you are hungry or fruits to nbbble on. Oats can be had with milk of course therw are other tiffin snack items you can make with it. You can take a look at the Ask Chitvish recipe index for other recipes like cutlet and oothappam.
Then of course there are biscuts, any non fried snacks are also the other option. If you eat light and relax when you eat then you are not bound to feel hungry again, this is what I used to do when i was on a strict diet regime. Also you can try to have soups regularly.
GOOD LUCK GIRL!!!!!!!!
Iam with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanx..Janani...Wow...I'm really encouraged...

So here comes my weekend monster...I'm trying hard to take up the battle...

Your ideas are nice...let me try and put them into action

Hai fellows,
it seems that I have such a big crowd for company in unsuccessful weight losing trials.I am similar to lathamurali. Only I am older and also a little less heavy than her. But I have sleep apnoea and so my oxygen intake is only 85% which makes me tired an gives me headaches. I have a manula treadmill, cycle and twister (all got after pestering hubby) but I find some excuse or other for not using them. I get frustrated after doing the chores and with the disturbances from hubby.
I can control my taste buds and eat food less, no problem. But I have to shed off at least 20 kg as I am only 5 feet 1 inch tall.
I want to say this- all the cereals like rice wheat ragi etc. contain the same amount of starch in them. Do not eat anything too much. Try to eat different one for each meal, that will help. I hear that drinking warm water will make it easier to shed weight, but in this hot weather is it feasible?
As you have said, after cooking an elaborate meal for the family, it is tedious to make diet for us and stick to it.
One couple were travelling with me and the hubby said he had diabetes and took to Naturopathy and reduced his big tummy and also the diabetes is no more there. He explained in detail about the diet etc. His wife said the punch dialogue- I prepared all these for him for 2 years in the traditional way of grinding in the stone. Now I have diabetes and there is no body to do that to me.
That explains it, what say?

this is exactly how i feel about my unsuccessful attempts to loose weight. i am a hefty 87 kgs and i really am quite alarmed about it.

what i lack is motivation, and will power to do exercises or yoga regularly and to control my food intake.

can someone out there help me???

priya

well said veena..yep... we tend to give lame excuses when we are not really interested or when we want things go in our way...

So...what do you think might be the right solution to ward of this thought and inculcate motivation?

Its better not to feel sorry later when everything is out of our hands...Ladies..its time ...lets take up the challenge together...

My weight is 87kgs i jus want to lose 30kgs ( thats all nothing more) and iam 33yrs old and 5.2 SEVERE OBESE


But, i used to do gym exercise for 30mts,floor exercise for 1 hour and walking nearly around 5kms almost 4 days a week , though iam not very strict in diet
but still try to control my tongue and over eating (i dont likesweets,cakes,choclates,icrecreams and iam just fond of spicy foods alone)ofcourse i used to have fried foods but not daily AT THE SAME TIME I WILL HAVE LOT OF VEGETABLES,SPROUTS,SPINACH,SALADS etc



I even had Honey mixed with lime juice in lukewarm water for some time(nearly 2yrs)

Almost i use to eat LAPSI RAVA(BROKEN) EITHER AS UPMA,PULAO OR LITTLE BIT WITH RICE ADDED TO THAT I WILL COOK AND HAVE IT WITH REGULAR SAMBAR , RASAM AND EVERTHING sinbce i dono to prepare ROTI

whatever i do, my weight remains the same, iam fed up wih this life,feeling bad to hear teasings from others(but iam used to that and usually my nature is take it in sportive way but atimes IT HURTS LOT)

And , health wise also iam suffering SO IAM FIGHTING WITH THIS AND I HAVE PUT ALL MY EFFORTS EXCEPT THAT I SHLD TIE MY TONGUE AND FOLLOW VERY VERY STRICT DIET


1.PEOPLE SAY IF WE SAY ITS NOT REDUCING AND WORRYING FOR THAT IT WONT REDUCE -- STRESS IS ALSO A CAUSE FOR THIS

2. AND THEY ALSO SAY INSTEAD OF UNTOUCHING THE FOOD JUST TAKE IT IN VERY LESS QUANTTITY so that u will be satisifed otherwise the next time u will just hit the whole item IAM SURE

3.U hav supplemnt for all the items like if u want to have veg pulao then u use lapsi rava instead of rice (all the other method is same) that is avoid fatty,starchy,sugary item which increase ur cholestrol level

like use EQUALS (Sugar cubes 0 instead of sugar
use HOENY , JAGGERY etc

Have BROWN BREAD OR WHOLE WHEAT

Corn,cornflakes,poha,puffedrice,popcorn,peanut(ste amed) all these items u can hav for ur SNACKS

All the above things i hav tried ,it didnt works for me properly since i ahd THYROID AND PERIODS PROBLEM main reason for my increase is weight goes to THYROID

But pls dont mistake me that IAM DISCOURAGING U PEOPLE NEVEREEVER I WILL DO THAT TO ANYBODY but jus saying my story and u can good take good tips from that

STILL I HAVE NOT LOSE MY HEART , STILL GOING TO GYM,WALKING,ETC

My ambition is i want to live HEALTHY LIFE and wear Jeans(confidently)

My heartiest wishes to all, KEEP TRYING

NO PAIN - NO GAIN
