A weight loss success story

Dear Shiva,

Hope you are keeping fine.

Here's my update... last week witnessed the arrival of the monthly visitor and couldnt do anything for 4 days. Had back ache and cramps and apart from the usual travelling by bus, i couldnt do much walking also. Infact i feel like not coming to office also that time..its a pain to travel so much!
5th day i slowly resumed things... and now am back on track.

Saturday had to attend a reception again. I did watch what i ate. But i had sweet and crispy dosa (with more oil ) ... Ok but i realised my mistake and went back to fruits(watermelon, banana, apple, musk melon) for breakfast and lunch on sunday. Also had 2 mangoes on sunday.

Coming to the point. My weight was 61.8 on saturday and 62.2 today {mon} morning. I do realise I should put in more sincere efforts, but somehow couldnt do it last week. Hope to give u a delightful update next monday morning.

Btw, hvnt got the elliptical yet. Last week couldnt do anything at all and preferred just sleeping after going home! Will b getting one this week hopefully.

And your blog on eating out is such a wonderful article. Great to see you inspiring every1 so much. I have now started practising the art of eating healthy even if i hv to eat outside. Owe so much to u! Thanks a lot shiva!


Regards,
Bril

 

Dear Shiva,

Iam not able to maintain diet+walking during Saturdays and Sundays because of the situation at home.But I make it a habit to eat anything in moderation.

I did not check my weight!.Iam able to fit an old dress today again! I trust my manual machine!:hiya

 

dear shiva, thanks for the reply. i could not get much tips on the other thread (flat stomach that’s what...) you mentioned as it is more on weight reduction. i need to concentrate only on tummy. so would like to hear more of your suggestions and tips if you come across such topics in future. dear, pls keep in touch with me regarding 'achieving flat stomach'. thank you.

 

Hi Shiva,

I am back here...i donno if u remember...i had joined this thread sometime back in March but then couldn't keep up as i was busy both at home as well as office...Well now I have resigned and am on a break to be with DD....So I have restarted my project -- Weight Loss

Well i had started with 78.5 kgs in May and when weighed myself last morning i wsas 74.5

Well i lost only 4 kgs in the last 3 months... I used to walk for around 45 mins for abt a month and a half and then as i said b4 i got really busy and had to discontinue my walks...but i stil maintained my diet and somehow dint gain.

Well the good thing is that more than the weight i lost a few inches too..l. am now able to fit into a couple of my dresses that i used to wear in my pre-pregnancy days

Now i am back this time determined to lose at least 12 kgs to be in the ideal weight range.
Planning to resume my walks...

Now that monsoon has set it its become difficult to be regular with my walks...What do i do in such a case? Any suggestions Shiva,,,,,i tried walking at home...but that doesn't gvie me the same feel as i get while walking outside plus i dont sweat either...

I now have time to try out the recipes mentioned in ur blog.....planning to do that real soon!

Ohh btw I had to go for a lunch on Saturday ...it was a buffet lunch at a restaurant...i followed ur tips of having lots of salads and rice and fruits....and no rotis...That worked...i felt full and neither did I get the stuffy loaded feeling that we get when we eat those oil laden gravies ...Thanks for the ideas...You simply rock!
