A weight loss success story

Hi Shiva,

I am now 68. Have lost only 1 kg so far. One morning I was 67.5 also but somehow the weight didnot stick to that and rapidly went up again to 69. Then when I was kind of throwing up my hands in despair yesterday morning it became 68 again.Rechecked this morning ..it is still 68.

I am a Bong and from 2nd October we have our Durga Puja and I really want to drop another 1-2 kilos and wear
some really snugfit western wear.

Well, I am still at the job and would keep you updated when I see the scales moving a bit.Let me know if I can tweak the diet here and there and get some extra burn .

Love

Soma

 

Dear Shiva,

Thanks for the kind word. Even I think climbing staircase everyday in a week is too much and will surely effect my knee..

Can I mix and match my excercise i.e 2 days in a week treadmill for 45 min and Elliptical another, 2 days yoga ( I do surya namaskar along with specific excercise for hands, ab etc ) and one day (if possible two days) climbing stairs.

 

Thanks Siva for your wonderful blog, you are an inspiration to everybody in their weight loss journey. So far i have reduced 5 pounds in 3 weeks by following your diet with slight modifications as per my convenience. Iam 4'11 and weight 56.6kgs, need to lose another 7kgs to be in the ideal weight range. Thanks for your wonderful blog and support to everybody

Dear Shivaaa

How are you.... seems busy with ur job etc. Here are my exercise, weight and diet updates and I would love to hear any feedback:

1. Weight-- fluctuates between 70.2 to 70.5 Kgs

2. no reduction in weight since last 10 days.

3. Since last 10 days, mix of running at 4.5-4.8 speed and walking at 4.0-4.1 speed. I had added running in this past 10 days thinking I wud reduce but I havent reduced any significant weight. Why running stalled my weight loss? I added this as a challenge to my body and also I am planning to run/walk in our local university's 5k marathon for cancer awareness.
After 3/4 days to running, I couldnt run more and for the past 3 days I am going down to walking at 3.8....so I have added elliptical 15 min and brisk walk 45 min, I cannot walk very briskly.. even though I gave a break of 1 day to give a complete rest..... please suggest some exercise routine at this point. I really need to go to 57/58 kgs.


4. Diet-- Dinner done by 7 pm, and consist of light dinner- lassi (less salt), protein dish (chana/lobiya/tofu), 1-2 spoon rice and salad. For lunch I have salads or same as dinner and for BF- I have either bread omellette/ bread soya patty. What shud I change in my diet?


I know u r v busy with ur work load, so take ur time and reply at your leisure.....

Other members who have lost weight and have been in my position, please guide me how to break this plateau,

Thank youuu
Hugs

Misha
