I am from India and over the course of few years, I have gradually moved towards a more sustainable eating style. My diary is open and I will be happy to share your journey too!

Woah! What a huge difference! Congratulations! This is inspiring! You look so beautiful and happy! Yay!

Stick with it! I can see the difference in your pics! You are doing great! + Your food choices are so inspiring! Woah!

Namaste! I am from India too :smile: and have been here at MFP for couple of days :tongue: I started on MFP about 30 lbs heavier than what I am now. I have lost over all 38+ lbs over the last one year and I am glad to be at maintenance for sometime. I love running, yoga and fasting every once in a while. Friends are…

Cheers to this super amazing victory! You rocked! + You are a great narrator! :smile: All the best in your journey towards good health!

Yes! :tongue: I still have some of 'my-precious' formal dresses that I need to part with. With all other dresses too it was difficult to walk over to Goodwill! I took a two thronged approach to face it: a) I told myself that if I have loose clothings in home, I will gain weight back. It will be so convenient. "So, Gargi-…

I would rather have bags of loose skin than paddings of flab. Maybe that is just me! (I do have some loose skin and I wear it with pride :smile: )

Wow! What a transformation! Thanks for sharing with us! :=) And, thanks a lot for adding about how sensibly you are managing your weight and health! :smile:

Joanne- You are such an inspiration! Congratulations on your healthy life + thank you so much! I forwarded your post to my mom!

Wow! That is an amazing transformation! It is incredible! Way to go beautiful lady! You have inspired me :smile: thank you!

Bump and thanks for putting it up!

20-25 miles on off-season days. Have a marathon next year, so I will pep it up :smile:

Hey- these are beautiful victories! Keep the good work and thanks for sharing them with us! :smile:

Good for you! Not only you are saving yourself the extra calories, you are also doing a huge favor to your body cycles (heart, sleep), immune system, insulin and metabolism! :smile: All the best!

Bump again!

I need to write down my races so that I dont miss them ! Dec 24 2012: Frosty 5k, Blacksburg Jan 19, 2013: Sandman Xtreme Half marathon Feb 16, 2013: Blacksburg Classic 10 miler March 17, 2013: Publix Georgia Marathon Nov. 16, 2013: Richmond Marathon Ouch! Too many races!

I am currently trying to stick to 5:2 plan. Albeit for long term health benefits and not to lose weight. Here are some things that I do: -do you need to exercise while on it? And if you do, do you need to make up those calories that you've burned or do you just stick to eating 500 calories no matter what? Yes. I exercise…

Totally second this :smile:

Oh goodness! This is an amazing loss! An awesome journey! So inspiring! :smile:

My quick fix vegetarian meals for this season: a) Any winter squash microwaved or roasted with or without cinnamon b) Beans with chopped tomatoes, (onion, garlic, cilantro, lemon, cheese are optional and awesome) c) Microwaved or baked sweet potatoes, sunchokes. d) Blanched greens with lemon and salt :smile: My not so…

Me too! :love:

Wow! I want those shoulders! So strong! You look great! :smile:

Thanks for sharing your inspiring victory! :smile: I loved your how-you-did-it list (esp the one about focussing on fitness)! You look great! :smile:

Wow! I am so happy for you! This is an amazing NSV! Running will soon get you addicted (for good!) My best wishes!

Save and bump!

Wow! Congrats! Way to go! I am sure there are many more races that you are gonna run- they just are so addicting :=)

Wow! That is a long way to go! :=) Congrats and I hope you continue this journey with the same enthusiasm. Reading about other MFP people's running NSVs always motivate me. Thanks for sharing this! :smile:

Wow! I am so thankful that you put this down. My family too keeps saying that it is our genes that make us obese. We complain obesity runs in family and then eat bread after bread and plates after plates with absolutely no exercise. I will remember your story and hopefully when I next see my family they will find someone…

Welcome to MFP! Feel free to add me! I am a runner and I try very very hard not to blow my my eating.
