5 lb New Year Eve Weight Loss Challenge - 6th Dec to 31st Dec

Hi Pooja n others,

Let me begin with giving this piece of info

1 kg = 2.2 lbs (appx)
So, 5 lbs would be 2.2kgs appx

Since you have already lost 10kgs, you need to increase the intensity of your workouts now. On an average, we can lose 2 lbs per week, so aiming for 5 lbs is a realistic goal.

Pooja, if you cannot increase the time of your workout (i.e more time) then you have to aim to increase the intensity now. It is time now for you to sweat to see the results.

I relied on Leslie Sansone videos of walk at home to lose my last 10 pounds. You can make a pattern of 1 , 2 and 3 mile walk videos after b/fast,lunch and dinner. If you can walk only once in a day, then opt for
3 mile walk everyday with some weight training.

This should go with a drastic change in diet from what you are currently following. You have to cut down on your carbs and include more soup,salad and fruits.

For this, if you make prior arrangements like cooking the soup in batches for 2-3 days, veggies cut, fruits stocked up, you can aim to lose the weight.

Try interesting salad recipes for dinner. Shiva has given moong dal salad recipe. In addition to this, you can find many on youtube.

Its all in the mind dear. If you plan it, you can achieve it.

 

Hi Thush,

We have all the 3 videos free in cable tv (in US here). It was hard to lose the last 10 pounds. I wanted to lose it comfortably at home as going to gym was getting hectic to me at that time due to some commitments at home. So, I varied b/w the 2 videos - 2mile and 1 mile - twice in a day and sometimes just the 3mile walk with some ab crunches. It takes 15,30 and 45 mins respectively for the videos. I used to opt mostly 2mile walk after my b/fast as energy level is peak during day time and 1 mile after dinner.
You can find the videos here:

Note that any exercise has to be accompanied by a low calorie diet to result in weight loss.

 

I have listed all the tips which worked out for me in this link below:

Start with baby steps and realistic goals. Watch your diet and cut down on carbs and fried items and eat light for dinner. Include exercise in your daily routine.

If you post your sample diet, we can take it further.
Good luck.

 

Pooja, dont forget to include fruits and lots of water in your daily routine dear.
