Do you want to join here - Year end weight loss challenge for a NEW YEAR

hi priya,

i happened to read a book by Rujuta Diwakar.. she is a highly qualified sports and nutrition specialist(i hope i got her qlfy right).. her book won the best seller award and hence caught my attention.. it is called " dont lose your mind, lose your weight" . it is very popular and cheap too (Rs. 150 or so). it is widely available in all stores. it really changed my view point about weight loss. this book can be ordered online too .. so worth trying.. she has published one more book later, but that is too elaborate and not very interesting.. in that book she has written "throw away your weighing machine" ha ha.. i really liked it. she explains :fat is very light , but muscles are very heavy. we will lose the fat and gain muscles by doing exercises, but will mistake it for a weight gain and get demotivated and stop exercising. So we just hv to enjoy exercises and do it regularly. if the weighing scale moves in upward direction, we should be able to differenciate, whether it is fat or muscles.

DST, tks for the link. i will try it for sure.

Hi DST,
good thread. I was 79 kg and had health problems. SO made up my mind to lose weight. Consulted a good dietician and lost 10 kg in a year, with diet and regular exercise (just walking for an hour everyday). Then my schedules changed and I had to travel often. Also there was my niece's wedding (only girl in the family) and hogged well on sweets. No walking due to erratic lifestyle. Now, in two years time,have gained 7kgs and health is also suffering. So had made up my mind to resume my tight schedule like before. But do not know how I will be be able to keep to the timetable. Lets stick together to stick to our diet and exercise. All the best to you!
I walkied for an hour only one day this week. I will be able to resume walk only from Monday again.
