Hi Shiva,

Hope you are doing good. Whenever i have a query abt weight, you are the first person on my mind, so here im..


My current BMI is 24 which comes in healthy normal range and i feel very comfortable at this weight though i could lose few more pounds. I personally look healthy at this weight and hence this is the reason i do not want to lose further.
Now my shoulders,arms and lower body looks absolutely perfect but im still not satisfied with side obliques (love handles).


Please suggest a daily routine for me to get rid of this without having to lose further weight. Is this possible ? Also im not very regular with weights.

Looking forward to hear from you.

 

Shiva,

Me back here..confused. my family feels i should not lose any more but i feel i could lose 5 more kgs..i am still on the bmi 26..so to get into the 24 bmi i ned to lose the last 5 kgs..but the recent weight plateau feels i have been building on muscle mass (i have such bulging biceps my son envies..though i have been doing less strength training..just following leslie..) i still feel, this is just a illusion..
now i know muscle gain will help in calcium regeneration for me as i am on a low on calcium because of not having any supplements because of kidney stones(yuckk such a vicious cycle)..

how do i move to weight loss again..any ideas are welcome..

 

Hi shiva.....

After long time i m joining this thread with lots of questions to u.....

While coming to sharjah my weight was 77kgs...now i m 81.7kgs......
I have a elliptical machine at my place....

In india my husband checked his BP first time and it was 150/110......dr ask him to do some exercise and cut down the salt intake.....his current weight is 104.3 kgs....if his BP not coming down then he need to take the medicine and anything will happen to him within 48yrs of his age...his current age is 36yrs now....

He is very committed to his dieting and exercise now....he is going to the gym in the eve for 45 mins just one week back....as early morning gym is closed....

Gym available nearby is not for ladies....so for me i bought a elliptical trainer....

Dear Shiva

How are you? Why you log in less often than before? Have u started some job? If so, congrats! and really thanks for still maintaining the zeal and zest in the thread

Ok some very new big things happening here on my side:

As you know, I got a new job , so am here all settled, loooooooveee this new place and loveeeeee my work place! I started my fitness routine from Aug 1st, going to apartment gym every day for 50 min, no eating after 8 pm , B fast and lunch both bread egg white omelette except tuesdays..... all in all very much happy and settled in the new place-- only hubby dear is not here but i dont miss him lolll he is looking jobs here, hopefully he wud have something soon......

My weight is 72.5 kgs, recently got my periods over--- one new thing I did this time; I walked even during my periods-- and I didnt get any cramps- though due to this, the periods were bit shorter- I had it only for 3 days instead of usual 4 and not much flow either....

I love getting up feeling lighter..... Also, I feel I am getting a lot of male attention these days- I confirmed it- and I am not sure why- of course, I do look good but I am still overweight- and its kinda very new for me-- hadnt had any guy look at me since loooooonng time- I am liking it but I miss hubby dear- I wish he were here, I havent told him this yet...

There is one very urgent issue I need to ask: At my work place, they are planning for an outing to a theme park- Boss asked us all to go and I said yes, I need to go next week-- now they have bought the tickets and I got to know that this is actually a water park only- basically everyone is wearing bathing suit (sleeveless stuff) and I am freaking out...:drowning I cant say no at this stage and I cant wear bathing suit---- I bought a tight swimwear sort of capri and a sleeveless top and over it, I plan to wear a T-shirt--- but I guess there I wud have to remove my T shirt which I wont- and it wud look very awkwardd-- plz help me! I know u cant but some soothing words of confidence-- something that I can handle it confidently! I have an excuse that i dont swim but how about the other splashy water rides where people wear swim suits but its for everyone :rant

Thanks!!

Love yaaa

Misha
