    Dear Tweety,

    The only side effect of my weight loss was a wardrobe full of clothes which no longer fitted me, they were just too loose. Apart from this there was no other side effect.

    It took me more than a year to bring my weight down. I have always advocated slow weight loss.

    Thyroid might make your weight loss slow BUT not impossible to achieve. Just aim for one or two kg weight loss a month and you will do fine.

    Hope this helps.

    regards

    Dear Ruchi22,

    It took me more than a year to loose weight. As for hard work, I did show commitment for my exercise and said no to bad food. My family eats what I eat. Its best to pull your family in your weight loss project. Eating healthy is good for both types (skinny or fat).

    There were few real bad habits that I gave up like having burger, french fries and coke thrice a week. Now I wonder how I used to eat that kind of crap. So chalk down your bad habits and make efforts to correct them and before you know you will start seeing positive results.

    All the best.

    regards

    Thanks for your response,Shiva! highly appreciate your time and guidance.

    I weighed myself on 6th Feb and found to be 71.6Kg. I had a good week of watchful eating and exercise. I'm planning to weigh myself tomorrow and check whether there's any shift in the scale. I'm not expecting much and will not be disappointed if there's no change. I will continue to improvise...

    1. I plan what I eat for the week in advance(in excel) and try to follow it as much as possible and track the changes
    2. From today, I plan to have 1roti, subji, and raita for dinner instead of 2roti, subji
    3. Realized I'm having less protein intake, so planning to include lentil soups as breakfast twice a week
    4. I enjoy eating fruits, I plan to capitalize on it for snacking

    I will post my progress week on week till I reach my target of 58kgs

    PS: I finished reading all your blog posts, I must say you have great writing skills...loved those experimental low-calorie dishes, will surely try some and let you know

    You partner in weight loss project,
    Sasha

    Dear Shasha,

    All the best for tomorrow. Make sure that you weigh yourself in morning, after going to the loo and preferably with no clothes on :).

    I am sure there will be a shift in the weight.

    Hello Shiva & Friends on this thread,

    I weighed myself and I'm down from 70.6 to 70.4 in a week, not bad :) my target is to lose at least 1kg a month, I'm confident I can make it.

    Thanks for being there,
    Sasha

    just realized there was a typo in my previous post, it is 71.6 to 70.4 in a week :)

    The Mighty Great Soya Burger
    Dal Paratha
    Sweet Potato nests
    Lenthil soup

    Best Regards,
    Sasha
