Weight Loss Support Group @ Chennai

Hi Sanju,
I am in a similar boat as you. I want to try for a second child but after my first baby, I really put on a lot of weight! Now I weigh 72 and want to bring it down to 55 at least.
Now, I have finally made some efforts.
1. First what I did was to chart a plan. I have set a deadline as May 2011, when I will start trying for the second baby.
2. In order to lose at least 15 kilos, I will need to lose about 2.5 - 3 kgs per month. This is very doable and it is a small goal to achieve.
3. Next, I have joined a gym, where they will teach specific exercises to reduce weight around my tummy. That I had a normal first delivery really helps here, I can strain a bit without any risk
4. I have also enrolled online in a website where I can track my calories. Since I want to reduce about 3 kgs a month, I can have an intake of about 1500 calories. So I have started planning food around those 1500 cals.
5. I also joined a Dare group, where they dare you to do something. This was a Dare to Lose Weight group. There I can chart my current weight against my goal and keep updating my weight as I reduce/gain weight against that goal. Seeing a graph of my weightloss is really motivating!

And now I feel all revved up to go and reduce my weight When you talk about losing 3 kgs a month, it seems a very small amount and I think that is the best way to go about. Thinking of losing 15 kgs is very scary, so I have stopped doing that.

Do keep updating your status here and maybe we can still revive this thread
All the best.
