    1557 minutes done, 243 minutes remaining. Sadly my weight loss seems to be slowing down, only lost 600gms this week, compared to 1+ kg/week for past 4-5 weeks.

    Wow. I would really like to start strength training at home since my weight loss has practically stalled after the initial 20 kgs. The gym seems a little intimidating for now, frankly.
    I'll check out the site. Thanks.
    What equipments, if any, did you guys buy?

    I have 1kg and 3 kg dumbbells. I have also bought sklz resistance tubes and handles (the links are up somewhere in this thread) but I am yet to work with those.

    It rained here in Kolkata and my swimming pool was swarming with insects. Couldn't get my workout in either yesterday or today.
    :-/ Will go walking tomorrow for sure.
    I am thinking of buying dumbbells too.

    45 odd minutes done today! I worked with the resistance tubes! its good; very similar to the dumbbells; you just have to be careful on the adaptation. but still good going. I was using a 10lb tube which is supposed to 4.5 kgs but it did burn less than my 3 kg dumbbells and more than a 1 kg dumbell...

    just under an hour to go!

    2012 minutes of walking done till now. Also received my resistance band today (got inspired by Jasneet to buy it, thanks Jasneet) and used it for chest workout, along with free weights and it worked really well.

    Ive just managed 40 minutes today! 20 minutes to go more! :( dont know when i'll manage those

    Ive got SKLZ triple handle and sklz tubes of 10 lb, 20 lbs & 40 lbs. I can use them in different combinations to get upto 70 lbs.

    Did 75 minute walk today, so final tally is at 2087 minutes this month.

    Jasneet, I bought Vector X JF-1100, it has resistant tube (Heavy Resistance) and handles for Rs. 722. I wasn't sure if I was going to end up using it regularly, hence didn't want to spend on SKLZ setup.
