My two cents. You don't have to kill yourself in this process. Enjoy each day as it comes. Moderation is the key. Not all days are the same, but you can try to follow your routine - the one which suits you the best. Health can't be quantified. Don't bother yourself with numbers too much. You will love your new self ...…

That exactly what he wants. He can be away for a few minutes and enjoy some silence ! :P

That's true. That's heavenly, in fact. 15 mins of silence is 'super luxury' ;) Finally......... you are the Captain of your ship and you are the owner of the remote !! :P

We come here and just do nothing? :P

Dancing! Tried once but looked like an idiot trying to find a toothpick in a bazaar. AI

You bet!! Today I had 2 khakras with coffee this evening. Only now I realized that one khakra was approx 80 cal. wow! Back then, I used to empty the container... but now, the leash is too tight I guess ! :D My only consolation is that I cook my own food and my mom lives miles away from me :P ....... Else my MFP journey…

Welcome aboard! MFP is a good platform to share our thoughts. Hope we motivate and learn from each other to achieve our goal. Cheers AI

That's nice, Rajiv. Good work! :) Cheers AI

Thanks Chet! You doing good too! Nice. :) Cheers AI

yaay!!! I have lost another 1 KG this week! Cumulatively I've lost approx. 15 KG. I am thinking of losing another 8-10 KG by end of this year or so. Let's see. Buddha was right! Taking the middle path makes sense! :P Cheers AI

Thanks a bunch !! I will try that. For example - I dint get anything for 'Ragi Upma'. Now I have a chance to try your way! ;) Cheers AI

My wife is a Food and Nutrition expert. If I dont find a desi food here, I will ask her. I will try to find some other desi food that is listed here - and log it to the required calorie level. I never figured it out how to upload recipes and calories. If somebody knows how to, then pls do share. It would be nice. I may try…

Biggest problem may be - yeah ironically - the calories !! Calories in Indian foods are assumed to be accurate. Even if not, at least it gives us the ballpark figure. That way it helps me to choose better. My staple diet was rice (I am a Southie, remember?! :P ). Now I am trying to make a conscious decision to choose…

Welcome to the Desi Team! If we can 'steal' it from Obama........... 'Yes, we can!' :P Precisely - Eating right and working out - everything in moderation, of course. Cheers AI

..and here I go! :P MFP coupled with 3 workout sessions/week - That's my way. If I am uber-charged, then I may go for 5 sessions/week. But that's seldom. I admit it. Every workout session is like a meditation. It always gives new insights. New ideas hit us. Myriads of 'aha' moments experienced. Do you guys too feel the…

Yes, Chett! I have my next weigh-in session this Sunday. If my calculations are correct, then I hope to lose approx. 0.6 KG. Depending upon the result, I need to decide on the next course of action for the remaining 3 weeks. I 'have' to 'earn' my new T-Shirt! ;) -AI

Welcome ! Hope we motivate each other to regain our lost health. :) Cheers AI

Thanks! Currently I weigh 81.3 KG. I was over 95 KG last year. Its roughly over a year since I started working out. In spite of working out like there's no tomorrow I dint notice any significant reduction rate. Its only after I joined MFP, I realized my mistakes. I binged too much off-radar. Now I am conscious of what I…

I would love to. Just started with walk-jog-walk idea. Finding it hard to run beyond 200m as of now. Hope to complete one before 2013 end. Cheers Avi

Hello All, This is Avinash from Chennai. I am new to MFP. Its nice to see so many desis. Its a kinda motivating. I weighed my heaviest during my B-School days. I slipped to 'Obese' category by the end of my course. With rocketing BP and Gycemic Index figures, I had to find a way out ASAP. Came back home, educated myself on…

Hey All, I just want to lose 1.3 KG this month so that I can be under 80 KG. I want to do it in baby steps. I am in no great hurry to lose it all. I want to take the middle-path. Hope to achieve it by April end. Cheers AI

Am game too. Let's see how far we can lose some fat in April. :) -Iyer

Hello ! Welcome. Let's hope we become good 'losers' :P AI

Hello there, Welcome to MFP. Even I am a newbie here. I am here because of my daughter. I hope to lose some so that I can live to see her graduate. Thats my motivation. Keep working out. Eat clean. Good luck. AI
