Hi

Im in mumbai. i have been overweight since my teens averaging 75kgs. in 2009, i shot up to 83, and then joined VLCC and a diet program by Shikha Sharma, losing about 10 kgs.

i became complacent and lost track, gaining back to reach a 79 again!

im getting back on track now, keeping a control on my diet. i will be going back to the gym on 28th Nov 2011.

what about You?

  • hello.... I have been over weight ..... well ever since I can remember.. though others teased me I never used to bother abt it much... but year 2010 was too much.... especially when i shared to others that wished to come into shape they commented i am not some one who can do it.....jan of 2011 I weighted 120 kg, I made a resolution to reduce my weight... I been working out ever since... I been in veg diet for past 4 months.... and recently I joined here. ... now I am at 80 kg.... my dream is to reach 70 by dec 2012...:bigsmile:

    30 DS is good if u want help on ur inches..The last time I did 30DS I wasn't able to complete level 3 becausse of my own laziness.. But this time I am very much determined to complete it..

    Few Facts which would help you in assessing the effectiveness of 30DS:
    1. I lost 4 inches from my belly
    2. 1 n 1/2 inches from my arms and it was turning in to a good shape
    3. My thighs were looking good too.

    I strongly recommend this along with your other activities you do.. it takes just 20 minute of urs..

    Thats really a nice idea..

    To begin with, I am not in the routine sort of thing for my fitness.. However I am sharing to begin, u all are requested to improvise the ideas on ur posts:

    Fitness: 400 min walk atleast in a week, 30 DS (started today on 15/08/2012), a run to be included bit in the walk so as to correct my breathing for running.

    Diet Plans: I know most of the people won't agree with me but I stick to 1200 cal diet, if it moves moves upward i don't worry but i make a point to work out enough for the day that my calories consumed should be under calories earned & sugar has to be on the lower side ( I eat everything I want to keeping this formula in mind)

    Motivations: To run marathon, to accompany my partner on morning run he takes for 1 hour..

    Success: Lost 16 lbs in 15 weeks (honest 11 weeks - I know I was off the track for 1 month)

    Nw come on people its ur turn now..

    I did two levels of that, then life caught up with me and I had no time / motivation left. Still losing with healthy eating and cardio, though.

    Hi,
    I am a recent member on these blogs etc while I have been on MFP for about 3 months now. I had shot upto 93 but with sustgained exercise, Yoga and diet control I have pulled back to about 82. For last one month its not moving less and I think its time I looked outside and interacted with other winning loosers to get tips, support and guidance.
    Please feel free to join in, add me and share your winning stories.
    Looking forward to an active interaction with all of you.
    Cheers

    Hi and good luck for your goals :)
  • Hi everyone,

    I am from mumbai. 31 years old. Its wonderful and really inspiring to see how most have accomplished your goals.
    I have always been on the higher side (rather extreme side) of the weighing scale every since i remember. Started my pregnancy at 98 kgs and reached 114 kgs. Now fluctuating between 102 and 104.

    I have kept my immediate goal to reach 90 kgs. Wish me luck...
  • Hi!
    Im Hazel! Ive been using MFP from my phone for a few days and Im lovin' it!
    Still havent done a weight check to see if the calorie counting has an effect on me but I hope it does!
    Im so Glad MFP has an Indian group, its hard to relate our food and diet to those 'abroad'

    Cheers!

    Hey Neha & hazeldias... Welcome to the group n wishing both of u loads of luck to carry on ur journey @ MFP with us!
  • Hi All,

    I am Srikaanth and it's so good to see this group . I have been using MFP for about 35 days now . Probably for the first time in life , I am being very conscious of eating right and exercising enough. Lost about 8 pounds so far since starting off with MFP ( makes me feel better talking in pounds as the number is bigger....so please don't mind :) ) .

    My goal is to be healthy ,fit and very athletic . I want to shed all the flab and the extra fat . I've been very regular with my workouts and I want to continue to on the same path . Super excited to see a group with Indians here :) . Hope all of us can share useful info and encourage each other in attaining our goals.

    Cheers,
    Sri

    Hi,

    I am new here. Just started a day ago. I need something like this to keep me organized. Having some friends over here will definitely be helpful. I have struggled for more than a decade to lose weight. I am committed to not give up. I plan to lose 50+ lbs over the next year. Yikes! That sounds scary but I know it is the consistency that will get me the results I need. I will have days when I falter but I WILL get up and move on.

    Let us be active in this group and help each other out. I will try to post some meal ideas and pay more attention to nutrition when I am cooking so that we can update the desi database. :-)

    Hi I am Aditi.

    I have been overweight or rather obese as far as I can remember. After a lot of yo-yo wt loss, I am seriously and highly motivated this time. I was even embarrassed to tell anyone my wt before but now I dont mind as I know I am going to lose it.
    I started using mfp seriously from oct2012 and have lost 15 kgs so far without excercise. I plan on joining a gym from jan 2013.

    Also I am a food rearcher and passionate about food which I always mistook for a curse before as I enjoyed binging on fast foods, but now I have improved my relationship with food and my passion for food helps me make healthy food taste good as per my palette.

    Highest wt:124.6 kg
    starting wt of mfp: 118 kg
    current wt: 103 kg

    My goal is to be absolutely fit by oct 2013 in time for my brother's wedding.


    I am really happy to find an Indian group here, although From threads I can see its not very active.

    Hello Everybody,

    I am Sonali,joined MFP a little more than a month back.I am an IT professional,so my job involves very little activity.My MFP starting weight was 87.5 and currently am at 84.Looking to reach a weight of 70-72 by end of April 2013!I know its difficult but thats why i am here. 70-72 might not be the ideal weight for me but altleast i will be out of overweight zone considering my height of 5.7".

    So to achieve my goal what i am currently into:-
    Eating 1300-1400 cals per day
    Joined a gym-Atleast 5 workouts per week:-
    day1-upper body strength training+cardio 30 mins(elliptical cross trainer,spin cycle/treadmill)
    day2-full cardio 50 mins(elliptical,cycle,treadmill)+abs
    day3-lower body strength training+30 mins cardio(elliptical cross trainer,spin cycle)
    day4-same as day1

    I am truly enjoyng my days here with my MFP friends,pls feel free to add me as your pal in this fitness journey.Looking forward to all of your support and advice.

    Thanks!

    Hi Sonali and Aditi,
    looks like not much Indian are hanging around here. Anyaway, I just started MFP from Jan 1st, so not long ago. I am carrying this extra weight since the delivery of my son that I am hoping to lose (about 20 kgs) this year.

    Feel free to add me as friend.
