Good health - yes, fitness - I doubt. we have been brought up amidst the theory of 'Thoppai' seen as a symbol of prosperity and being fat indicates a 'nalla manasu. With idli, masala dosa and white rice as staple, unless you are a pro or self initiator, fitness is not seen as every tamilan priority. That's my view.

Thanks everybody for your support and encouragement... I use a weighing scale with body fat analyser - Omron HBF200. Though it may not be accurate, it gives a fair idea and a relative scale to track if I am making progress. Though overall weight loss seem to be impressive, I am not happy with the fat loss. Just about 7%…

Hey Avi... We are pretty much on same weight now. My peak weight was 93.5. What is your height by the way? I am 5'9" and 75kg target will put me on middle of bmi range. My bf% is 23 at the moment and I wish to achieve about 15%...

Chet, I totally agree with your point.

Thanks Chet & Advi for your support... I do keep a check on my intake. Have also intensified my workout with p90x and completed 4 sessions of first week. planning to continue with it. little disappointing factor is that the body fat% also hangs around the same range for the last 3-4weeks. 3/23: 83.4 kgs (Now left with last…

Chet, I have been reading a lot of articles about breaking the plateau. Turns out it is part of the weight loss process. Keeping my motivation inspite of not seeing results is the biggest challenge. Focusing on weights (with dumbbells at home. No gym), very slow but sure progress.And HIIT as well. Not easy :(

Advi, see to it that you get proper sleep of atleast 8hours and have your dinner 2hours before going to bed. This has helped me for good results. All the best.

My target is 4 kg by next month and I weigh almost everyday to track the weight loss/gain trends based on my food intake and workouts.

Hello All.... I am Arvindh from Mumbai and have been on MFP for almost 6 months now. It did not occur to me to look out for an Indian forum until recently. Along with MFP app on phone, I also use Runtastic to track my calorie burn through workouts. Learning from mistakes, I have decided to take one step at a time or should…
