And lets now forget that Indian food tastes freakin awesome! Too yummy for our own good ;-)

Welcome dsv1999. Good to see you here.

Yeah that cup measurement is a PITA. Still looking for a decent site that will allow easy and quick conversion of different item cup measurements into grams. I haven't had a chance to spend much time on this site yet but from initial glance it looked good.

Good work!

Some really great tips and advice. Bumping to keep track. My own thoughts which many of which have been mentioned: 1. Switch to whole wheat breads 2. Brown rice instead of white rice (I've got used to it) 3. Reduce the fried stuff and pastries like Samosa, Kachori etc 4. Eat more veggies, dals, pulses, beans (also good for…

Brilliant. You look very proud of yourself and so you should. Fantastic achievement.

Good job man!

Great- thanks for reply :-) Yes I've heard Insanity is very hard and definately needs to be your main programme to do it properly. I did a round of 10 Minute Trainer and have just this week started Les Mills Combat. Boy oh boy is this programme kick *kitten*!! Both the trainers are also Brits (though I think they now live…

Welcome greeshmaaa - thanks for joining in.

Go for it Avi - you can do it. Welcome Rubina!

Yes indeed - MFP really opens our eyes on what we're really consuming and the effect it's having. I've not had much success until I really started using MFP. Good work - keep it going.

This is true! When I first used MFP when it came out the lack of Indian food put me off. Having come back to it again last November with so many more foods in the database it's much better but the accuracy can be way off I find sometimes and I agree trying to work it out can be challenging.

We really to get this group to be more active. Any ideas? Let's get some discussions/posts going. I'm going to start one to get the ball rolling.

I love it - really enjoying the workouts. Done 2 days now and am following the 7-day metabolism jump start they suggest you do. After 2 days my body aches and its painful to even walk around Lol. Buit that's good as it shows me that I'm putting a good amount of energy into this. Felt quite tired yesterday evening and I…

Welcome AI. Jump in and post your stats as I and others have done and let's do this.

Jump in trinics and prithvish and anyone else.

I was pretty poor at getting my water intake in but things have now changed. A few things have helped me with this and firstly as FUELERDUDE says its good to always have it handy. I kept bottles of water in the car, at home and at the office and tried to drink them through the day. Another key thing I found was that if I…

OK great - that's 4 of us. Let's start this from this Saturday with our starting weight and the declare what we want our goal weight to be on April 30th and May 31st. Aditi - kick it off since this is your idea :-)

Wow - I've done almost 20 llbs in 4 months but about to start doing a 60 day Les Mills Body Combat programme in April so hoping to speed up my weight loss with that. This would be an awesome challenge to aim for (just a few days before my birhday too) as it gets me close to my target weight too. Please add me - LET'S DO…

Read this post - it helps explain all of this and understanding BMR and TDEE is important to ensure you're eating enough based on what your own body needs. The figures are different for each of us based on male/female, age, current weight etc.…

Sounds to me like you're not eating enough calories for what your body needs during the week and so your body is keeping hold of the fat and slowing down your metabolism. At the weekend you're eating more and probably around what your body needs but still at a calorie deficit so you're losing weight as a result. Use this…

Yes Almond Milk gives it a nicer flavour I find. Add to this Cinnamon and Flax and its very nice indeed.

Looks good to me too. That makes 3 of us so hopefully others will join.

Thanks - Zoe beat you to it with the invite :-)

How about to keep this group active and to motivate each other we set our monthly goals and then do weekly weigh-ins on the same day each week i.e. Saturday? That way as we're working towards our respective goals we may be able to offer each other some help/encouragement or even celebrate the success we're achieving. What…

Thanks sharpei65 - just the kind of group I am looking for. I couldn't find the group when I did a search so could you post a link to make it easy to find and join please?
