My 3rd time weight loss challenge: Working mom with 2 kids

Never give up!! Start now and you can achieve it... In fact, no one is fit here as well. We lose, we eat and enjoy then we gain again fall back to weight loss. This is very very normal. But, believe me in my case my DH was so co-operative and motivated me a lot . Yes, I had lost weight three times and whenever I feel bad about my shape, my hubby helped me to do some ex. Now after 2 kids, everyone call me 'skinny' I was super FAT during my wedding hehehe...

I follow this simple mantra (formula).

If you want to lose weight, you must diet (food portion control) + 60 mins workout of your choice (could be walking or treadmill or elliptical or LS walk or whatsoever). But calories burning should be more than the intake calories.

If you want to maintain wt, just eat normal and ex regularly min 30 mins ..

25 squats
Leg raises
Lunges

Supreep,

How are you? friendssmiley
Happy New Year!!
I had mentioned it this way but probably you didn't notice it- treadmill 60 mins and elliptical as 60 calories (not 60 mins) :biggrin2:. I never do a 2 hours workout.

 

Hi Kavitha,

I'm here. Yes, I didn't login for soooo many days. I was bit down with acidity issues, official issues but still dieting and working out regularly. I'll start posting my updates from today.

 

Hello Ladies,

Question:
Is it good to have yellow part of egg? I hear mixed reviews so just thought to clarify. Few say that yolk is animal fat but few others say that when we don't eat yellow part then we're not consuming the full energy out of egg. Is it so?
