Hello Friends,I joined Indus ladies just recently and havent posted many threads, I do have the same problem as rest of us. Im 28 yrs old, 5'4 and 82 kilos!! I have no idea how to burn all that fat. I have to reduce atleast 20 kgs before Feb!! as my parents are gng to visit me and I have to surprise them.My problem area is my hand, thighs and waist!! I dont know what sort of excersise to do at home. I have a 3 yr old kid. I put on weight after c-section delivery. I really need help to reduce 20 kgs, I read all the other posts connecting to this problem and have got many tips, thanks for all that.Still I dont know what sort of excersices to do and what's the best time of the day to do them. Ive heard water therapy is very helpful in reduction of body weight. How true is it?Id appreciate if you friends cud help me as Im really having lot of trouble being overweight.

Hi Sindhu Jitesh!

Looks like you are hurrying up. I dont mean to discourage you but 20kgs in 3 months is too quick and within no time you will get it all back and even a bonus of extra 5 kilos or more.So the best way is to lose about 1 kilo a month and then keep it off forever. For this we need to make changes in the dietary habits-eating 5 or 6 small meals instead of 3 heavy meals like we Indians do. First try to reduce the portion size-even a small change makes wonders. I was told by my doctor to eat 500gm of fruits and raw vegetables in a day to achieve good weight loss. But to eat all that 500gm, the only way is portion control of the rice or chapathi or whatever so that we have enough room for fruits and vegetables. I have been following this practically and seeing good results. Now my body is almost getting used to eating small portions.

Regarding my dietary pattern, for breakfast I eat a homemade sandwich with peanut butter and a glass of orange juice at 8.30am, followed by green tea at 11 and a slice of fruit, lunch at 12.30 or 1.00 which is again very limited amt of rice+vegetables or fish or another sandwich with fish, some snacks around 2.30 or 3.00 which is mostly small pieces of fruit or sometimes peanuts, at 5.00 I again have a cup of tea and dinner is between 7-8 mostly filling up with fruits and yoghurt, ocassionally rice and sometimes tortillas with some vegetables.

my exercise is mostly between 5 and 8 in the evening. If I cannot make it to the gym, I am doing some yoga at home. With the portion control thing my craving for sweets is going away because every 2hrs or so I take something in little amount and my mind has no time to think of chocolate. It might be initially hard with your lil son, but give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Hope this information is enough to get you going.

cheers
Pranuthi
