Minal, you weighed yourself after party day!
No wonder the weight bulks up...

Every day is valuable. Will try my level best.

Hi Sridevi & others,

I like to introduce myself here.. I'm a working mom with 2 kids. I delivered my 2nd boy this April and started exercising since April to reach my pre pregnancy weight. I know it's very hard to find time to ex with 2 kids around. But, i'm highly motivated to lose wt before my baby turns 1

So far, I've lost 30 + lbs since I delivered my baby and I've 20 lbs to lose. I was a member of wt loss thread and i've lost wt twice before with hubby's motivation.

Here is my weight measurement:

June 1 - 159.4
June 10 - 158
June 20 - 156.4
June 21 - 156.2 (lowest of this month)

Since am breast feeding my baby, exercising, dieting and running behind my elder one, i'm able to lose wt

Happy to lose more !

I did overeating today, my favourite Biriyani. To compensate this overeating, I will take only cucumber and fruits tomorrow morning. Till 2.00 pm , tomorrow, I will not eat anything other than cucumber and fruits, that as per the appetite developing.

If no appetite, then I will drink water and wait for the appetite to come. That much fatty food I have taken.

Sri.............I am taking a promise that I will not eat Biriyani till the end of this month, so that I maintain at 71.5 kg at least, and do not go back to 72.0 kg

Today, morning woke up at 5.45 am!
Sunday morning 5.45 am has not been seen by me for years....

One of my friend in the group exercise class asked me to teach yoga for her. Not like teaching, but I said, I can lead the hour if she makes a commitment...
She told one more friend, and all together we made it happen today. startting from breathing, we went through intensive poses ,followed by relaxation and mini mediataion...It was so good when we open our eyes ...We could n't believe we did for 1 hr and 15 mins altogether...

I am glad that I have the capability to take the class with no tension..we sailed smoothly...Next time, my friend's husband is also joining it seems... I am kind of uncomfortable with this decision...Today, we were just ladies... I dont know how I will take the class with her husband too..
we all drank coffee/milk at her house, came back home refreshed....
Great sunday morning start!

Dear Writera and Laks,
Same status for me even if I go to India. Sometimes, I feel like I became confident and stronger enough to deal all things for my family all by myself. And I am sure proud of myself for being a very good care giver for my dear ones. God has given so much load to a person that he/she can withstand. So Laks... always remember that we are stronger enough to go against th struggles we face every day.
Writera, Enjoy the luxury though!
I like the privacy and independency here in USA when compared to India. Even now after these many years, if I want to go some where in India, either my mom or dad always wants to guard me. Their main goal is my safety. but sometimes, I feel irritated. All the relatives wont let us go any where with my kids alone. Either some one will come or I need to wait for my hubby.
They wont let me ride the 2 wheeler too.. Auto is my only choice. This way, I did not get any chance to explore chennai city. I turned into a zero geographical knowledge person until today. I just got used to be a passenger most of the time. But after coming here, I developed my sense of self just by driving alone. taking kids to places...Driving on the high way....dont ask me.I feel like I was flying...felt so good about myself even though I have inner fear after I met with a major accident. I took my parents to a tour here with out my husband. They felt so happy and proud of me. If I were in the same well, I might not have been seen the outside world.
My husband let me live my life...I always expect him to spoon feed meBut he just dont care, and let me learn by my experiences and mistakes...Its his way of teaching me. Though I am not comfortable with his handling on me, I developed more confidence on myself. I stayed here in foreign country with my kids alone for almost 1.5 years when my husband was travelling states to states...I did not sleep peacefully even 1 single night, but I am proud that I was able to manage here alone...

The exposture here brought out the power inside me. Now, after these many years I dont want to go back, even though I miss my carefree life there...Above all, kids got used to thsi living here...we still did n't decide where we want to settle, but right now, We are happy here...I know I am alone, I miss my parents, their care, my friends... my home town....I pass my days home sick most of the time...but I like to live here...more responsibility, more independency, more happiness...above all... more peace...With little more support from my husband is possible for me, I am sure I can go places...
Way out of topic... sorry ladies...

Sri, sorry for the way too late reply for this message. Believe it or not, I feel this is so relevant to our topic of weight loss. Your post covers emotions like fear (which we feel before starting our weight loss journey), then courage (that "no", we must do this) and pride (after we achieve it!). I have taken that journey in the past and I want to do it again... it's just that it feels so difficult to start! But I am glad I have started with my daily walks at least. From the girl who only ate idlis or salads when she went out and did zumba everyday to somebody who feels she can never lose it.. welll! Sorry for being philosophical...

Hi Anitha,

I am new to this thread as well and to be honest not very regular as I have been going through major life changes this month - moving apartments! But welcome to you and both us I guess. I think we're both in a same weight loss thread...but anyway I just wanted to tell you what a high it must be to lose 30 lbs +... congratulations! I can't wait for the day when I experience the high of losing that much.

Cheers!
