    Wow that's awesome sir that you are keeping up and maintaining your weight all these years.
    What's your everyday diet looks like sir? Do you do any exercise or walking?

    I am 39 and am obese now. Struggling to reduce my weight. I hope I will achieve my target weight one day. I was only 52 kgs when I was 26. Gained all these weight after my childbirth and sedentary lifestyle.

    I am slowly doing new exercises and stretches along with diet. Reduced 8lbs in the past month which is a great thing for me. My target is to lose 30lbs.

    No rice day!

    Breakfast: multigrain (no rice) dosa with sambhar

    Lunch: barnyard millet, brown masoor dal, green beans poriyal

    Snack: we went to a restaurant for dinner and thankfully I didn’t order anything. But I ate 3 pieces of French fries (from my daughter’s order), with a tiny dip in ketchup .. ketchup felt too sweet. French fries were vegetarian, hand cut in the restaurant and made
    in sunflower oil - not the typical greasy type from Costco or McD. Still I should have avoided it considering I had already had vadai and 1 cup payasam (on a day I didn’t post here) during the week as treats! I can’t keep having treats and expecting my body to drop pounds. Plus having-treats-often makes treats an everyday food, not a special thing .. and the cravings will increase! I should keep treats as a weekly thing in moderate quantity and not sneak it in during the week.

    Exercise:
    Morning: yoga - 60 mins

    Water: 2 litres - I am getting better with water these days. I have a 400 ml glass that I keep filled .. 5 rounds of it and I’m done with the water goal for the day.

    A observation about Sleep: Ever since I have started doing yoga, I am sleeping better. It was very hard for me to go to bed before and I used to sleep very late. Now, things have taken an interesting turn that I start feeling drowsy by 9ish and I’m in bed by 10-10:30 pm.

    I like your portions. I need to work on it. Its good that you take only one piece of chicken or one piece of paneer. I end up eating more when it's grilled.
