Cut the carbs. Your carb intake is way too high for your daily calorie goal. And protein intake is too low. You eat non-vegetarian food, so it will not be very difficult for you to improve protein intake. Watch your sugar too. Ideally the combination should be 40:30:30 of carbs , proteins and fats. But for Indian diet…

Almonds soaked overnight. Are a good memory booster. I agree with carb part. Even I experience sluggishness. This happens if you eat too many carbs without combining proteins with them. There's the whole surge in sugar process related to this,... its your exam tomorrow, and you have better things to read - :-) So just…

Congrats! and WHAT a change!!

Thanks everyone. I guess, I just needed to vent out. Trying to be a disciplined person is so hard. Kudos to everyone who is managing... It wont happen overnight I guess. It needs to be a habit now.

Really - ignore it. If you dont really trust her, be quite formal with her. But maybe she made that remark in the passing - like - my roomie baked something for her colleagues and its smell kicked my sweet cravings or something like that.... :-)

Congratulations! Your transformation is clearly noticeable. And within 3 months!! thats a HUGE motivation....
-
Great suggestions on this thread.
-
Great transformations everyone! Can all posters also include what they did to achieve their goals?
-
Great advice... and I know from experience now... ;-) Though I have decided to think that all those bad ways of getting lean have only made me wiser... and have helped me accept my body, my genetics, flaws in my lifestyle etc - and I am more genuine in making changes, though its just baby steps...

Thanks everyone ! I feel better armed already with these new ideas and I'm going to listen to music when I go to gym. Actually, this gym is within my complex and the other day there were couple (or 3) guys who I know personally, they're people from my own building. Acquaintances. The gym is not very large so they were…

I can see dramatic changes... congratulations! What was your fitness routine?

I am sailing in the same boat. Actually, I must say that I feel great every morning when I wake up...even though I feel sore after the work-out. I am thinking this also has got to do with eating. I do 30DS first thing in the morning and don't eat anything. I am thinking of having litte carb-based snack containing some…

I just completed Level 1, day 10 today. My weight hasn't budged so far and I haven't seen any inch-loss either - But My fore-arms and calves have started looking quite defined and toned. Unfortunately these body-parts, I never ever gave a second thought to like ever... so I don't have 'before' pictures involving these...…

Wow! I'm impressed. I have a calorie goal of around ~1300 which I mostly stuck to and did 30 mins brisk walk +20 mins of high intensity circuit training. No weightloss yet.... though I am not fussy about it. I want to lose probably just 12 pounds... so I dont get worked up with this issue, but its still surprising. Becuase…

I signed up and I am 362nd person. Its awesome to be a part of such a huge group and would be fun to compare...

Bump! What @peleroja said...

What an amazing transformation! I saw your pics and WHAT a change. Makes exercise-hating people like me want to improve... :-)

Also I try to eat fibre rich veggies, which give you a sensation of being full...

I too am a vegetarian. Struggling to reduce carbs... My problem with tofu/temp and Co is I dont like their texture... so I dont eat them. I dont eat eggs either. These days, dependent majorly on protein shakes, dairy and soy milk etc. Cheese. I think carbs have done more harm to me than fat.... But I have to soon figure…

I too have this question. I currently eat around 1300 types, and do brisk walking and circuit training, my BMR being 1443. I plan to start stronglifts 5x5 as soon as I can. I am doing circuit training right now and I want to first reach a comfortable level of endurance and recovery from that. But I keep thinking that I…

@Charovnitza...How can you eat 25 gms of carbs.... tell me your secret!! :-) I almost die trying to control it to 156 daily... :-)
-
You can add me. I too am sugar sensitive. 31. So I guess our lifestyles will not be substantially different. In fact I would love to motivate you because I have only recently started journey and realise how difficult it is to make lifestyle changes... First thing - are you getting your H1ACs done? if that test shows an…

MFP is my new facebook and I agree that FB diverts attention from your goals. Its like a pseudo-world where everyone is trying to project their best image many a times, unlike MFP which is very real and everyone accepts that they are humble, susceptible to weight gain and need to do lot of hard work to achieve their…
-
Umm... well, I do, sort of feel bloated from time to time. Though my fiber intake has never exceeded 30 gms I think and 25 gms is what I have targetted currently. (My earlier intake probably was 5-10 gms per day) I suppose I will increase my intake only if I feel that I am low in energy. My diet is carb rich and it IS in…

My main issue is body fat loss and blood sugar control which is why I am eating fiber rich food - to help me with blood sugar part. I have made my diary public now. I am a vegetarian and I eat mostly home made food - so I record item wise and create recipes many a times since these recipes are not available on MFP. That…

I am a sugar-watcher :-) , yes it is important to watch sugar intake if you are carb/ sugar sensitive. For me: 1. Daily sugar intake needs to be in limit for me, because I seem to be sensitive to sugar. 2. I check even sugar content in all the other food items too, but I dont avoid them on purpose if they are high in…
