Dear Tina,

A slight increase in weight can be due to the periods. Usually, the increase in apetite during periods is because of increase in metabolic rate. So, you will be back to your lower weight.

Keep me updated. You are doing great, keep it up.

Have a great day ahead.

regards

Dear Ridha,

Lots of hugs to you.

i feel so ashamed of myself.

Losing and gaining weight is not the be all and end all of life. Never be ashamed of yourself. You have your own set of struggles with your small kids and balancing a weight loss is challenging. At least you are trying.

I met someone, who was atleast 120 kgs. She has two small kids and she looked at me and said I can only admire and appreciate you but I can never do it myself. She has just lost her hope and did not want to even try. So, Ridha till there is hope in your heart believe me you are doing good. Never give up hope. You never know what you are capable of, so never under estimate yourself.

..i was quite careless regarding diet nd walk frm last 1-2 mnths........my tummy is sooooooooo huge now ppl vll think that iam in my 3rd trimester..

Then firmly correct them. As a rule I never ask a woman if she is pregnant or not, until she is obviously pregnant (near her due date) or she informs me. I have been asked this question myself many times. Its not your fault, its the fault of the assumptions that people make.

The best part about huge tummy is that once you lose weight fat from this area will also go but you have to be patient and persistent.

now i have to start frm the scratch......AGAIN.......oh god i hate this...why am i messing things like this......

Starting all over again is far better than giving it up. Its tough but not impossible.

If your life is hectic then do take out time to make a schedule. A schedule will always get you started. The first time I read this tip on net I just did it for fun but it worked. So, I value this tip. Take out time when your kids are asleep and figure out a schedule. Talk to your husband and see where he can offer his support.

.my life has been very hectic in the past mnths with lot of stuffs going on in my head......nd i was very irritated nd angry

Whatever is happening its not worth thinking over and over again. If there is a thought which is just stuck in your mind, then that thought is not helping you. Free yourself from all negative thoughts.

Depression, feeling low, irritated, frustrated are a part and parcel of life. We cannot escape them. SO the best way to deal with them is to recognize them.

A simple NLP technique is to blank your mind and stop the internal conversation (very difficult to do) but once you feel that blankness in your mind you will feel peace and then start over again with a positive internal conversation.

So come back with a plan. I am always here for you. Sooner or later you will complete the journey, just don't leave it in middle. The thing is to complete it no matter what.

Lots and lots of love to you.

regards

Dear Pragdha,

Good work. Walking for an hour will really help you.

Your diet is fine but do make changes to your dinner. Bread sandwich or kubbboos is simple carbs. Try going for daliya, multigrain roti or soups and fruits (this will cause further dip in the weight).

Good work for drinking more water.

Have a great day ahead,

regards

Dear Shiva,

As you know I have been ill off and on, and due to this, my exercise routine has completly gone haywire. I used to have so much of determination to go to the gym daily and used to push myself.. Nowadays somehow its like everything else has priority except exercising.. I feel so ashamed, because I really had got my weight under control, learnt very healthy habits. Now also, I havent gained weight, but I look more flabby near my stomach.. and arms and face... I am scared if I will gain weight and all my efforts will go down the drain :hide: Nowadays even if I go to the gym, I dont have that drive to do a 45 minute work out. Within in 20 mins, I just feel like stopping....

Hi Shiva,

I really appreciate you for your contribution to this thread. Ok Finally I am here after reading your posts for a very long time... I have never thought I need to loose weight.. but now that I can see tyres in waist, I feel I can no longer weight.. My DH is so upset for me being this out of shape.. I am not too overweight, but I am completely out of shape.. I feel by reducing few kilos and doing a little work out, I may get back to some shape.. I need a good diet plan for myself now.. I am 154cms and 59 kgs. do u think, 54 kgs would be the ideal weight? I work sometime between 12-8pm now, and my problem is i eat a light breakfast, and i finish my lunch at home when I start at 12.. so, by 8, I will be very hungry and i am having a heavy dinner coz of this.. If you can suggest me a good diet plan, i can start following that.. I need some inspiration now to do this, as there are too many things around me running and I mostly miss this or give least preference to this..

Thanks in advance,
Vidyaa

Hey Shiva :thumbsup

As told you earlier i have been eating unhealthy and being a punju gal gave me this liberty to eat oily and unhealthy to the maximum! We make oily food, eat fried things, sweets are always there to satisfy Punjabis!!

So this time i tried to change that and opted healthy over heavy food. Have started doing early morning workouts in gym for 1hr. and sometimes going for evening walks for half an hour more!! I had some doubts, and will like to discuss with you:

1. During chums (as you call them), my good habits goes for a toss and i eat everything i lay my eyes and hands on. I cant control myself at that point of time inspite of knowing these things are ruining my health. i start eating like a Hippo!! and hate myself for eating junk but cant help it. i have started controlling things but still its bad specially during this time.

Tell me how i can rectify my "Mahi Way"- Syndrome?

2. i am having inch-loss as my suits and shirts gives me clues. But my arms dont look like me, they look like they are some aunty's :drowning Flab from arms refuse to budge. What will make them less fleshy?

3. I try to do Kapalbhati kriya but problem is that i eat at every 2-3hrs. how i can adjust my time so that i can still do kapalbhati?

4. I love home made Brown bread/ multi grain sandwichs full of veggies n paneer ( no butter, no mayo only salt n black pepper) once or twice in a week. White bread is a rare.
So, Avoiding/ Replacing white breads with these two breads helps na?

Thnxx as always for ur help

U Rock!!!

Thanks shiva,

I will do as you said. I will eat sandwich with brown bread in evening with coffee and for night will that be ok if i have 1 cup of multi grain kanji( as i always like that it will be filling and no need to drink milk seperately)? Thanks in advance.

with love,
latha.
