    Has it been just talks or has anyone started walking the talk?

    I have been working on keeping my daily calories under 1500 (preferably around 1200). Although I must say I lack in my daily target of proteins.

    I follow a cardio week with a little of free-body exercises. A day includes 20-25 minutes of cross trainer mode on elliptical trainer machine, 15x2 pushups, 10x2 burpies, 35x2 crunches, 15x2 side crunches, 15x2 squats... and a little time pass exercise here and there, and ending with 5 minutes stretching.
    That takes me well above 350 calories burnt in a 1 hour routine.

    As far as diet goes,
    * a 400ml glass full of room temperature water as soon as I wake up.
    * 10AM Breakfast: 2 indian plain parantha and 1 cup no sugar milk. (Starting from today, I'm gonna remove the parantha and add 50-75g Muesli) :wink:
    * 1PM lunch: 2 indian chapatti, 1 cup lentil soup, a handful quantity of salad (mostly onions or cucumber), followed by a cup of ginger/cardamom tea (water:milk = 1:1)
    * evening snacks: 2/3 eggs (throw away the yolk of 2 eggs), maybe a glass of lemon juice/soda)
    * 1 hour of gym session, Steam bath, water bath.
    * Dinner: 2 indian chapatti, 1 cup lentil soup, handful of salad (cucumber/onions/beetroot etc)
    * daily water consumption: 3+ litres
    * What else, maybe a little bit here and there, maybe a small cube of chocolate occasionally, or a slice of pizza once in 2-3 weeks etc. ( Hey, that much of a cheat is allowed!!) :smiley:

    That's usually monday to Friday.... Saturday and Sunday I'm a sloth!!
    I measure this diet and I see myself loosing 1 kg each week, and then the Saturday and Sunday come and put everything to waste! :disappointed:

    I just turned 60 so where fitness is concerned, it's use it or lose it. For pounds, it's just lose it. I've been jogging regularly for months and try to keep my net calories around 1200-1300. Oh, and I live in the Arctic.

    Keeping fit is a struggle, so let's share it. Maybe somebody will find it useful to be able to think: "If that old lady can do a 5 k when it's 15 below freezing, I can get out too!"
