Initial Weight : 94.3 kgs
Last Update Weight : 87.45 kgs
This Update Weight : 86.00 kgs
2 weeks weightloss : 1.4 kgs
Total Weightloss : 8.3 kgs
Now though 8.3 kgs in 8 weeks is not really bad, its actually good… who am I am kidding I am flying in air right now… ๐ I am happy that I have still managed to lose this weight in the last 2 weeks though if u see for only two weeks probably its not exceptionally well but its not bad either… Considering all I have been doing in the last two weeks is holiday. The trip to the village, a wedding, a friends birthday to attend, a picnicย with cousins… But for the first time in my life I have been eating sensibly when I am going out, eat as much as salad as I can, cut down on fast carbs like rice and maida etc, avoid desserts as much as possible, I think that is what has helped.
The thingย that I am most happy about is that I have dropped a size and about 3 inches from the waist… Time to dance Yippy!!! and I feel so much more fitter, the regular every 3 days falling sick has surely gone down… TOUCHWOOD… Plus people have started noticing and commenting on it… The first time u get that comment from some one its heavenly… U feel as if all your hardwork is paying
So in the last update I had asked you guys what to do because of the Gym problem… so this is what I am doing these days :
For Cardio
30-45 min walk and 30 mins of cardio in the gym on alternate days
And then I have started XBX since 3 days and so far its been good…hoping it works out for me
1 day of the week I also do some weights in the gym
And what do I eat
Morning – Lukewarm water + drop of honeyย + 1/2 lemon – currently I have one glass trying to make it two
Breakfast – 4 slice bread sandwich / 3 moong dal chilas / 2- 3 egg white omelet + 1 bread slice / 1 Big Bowl porridge (daliya) + tea either before breakfast or along with it (oh yes I eat a lot in the breakfast but I think this is the most important meal of the day and how much ever I try I dont think I can explain its importance… all my life I have ignored this meal of the day and now I repent so trying to correct that )
Mid Meal – usually fruit sometimes a small bowl of sprouts
Lunch – 2 rotis + sabzi + curd (sometimes dal sometimes not) + salad / 2 moong dal chillas + salad + sabzi / 2-3 pieces of chicken/fish + salad + sabzi / big bowl of Cracked wheat khichdi + bowl of curd
Evening tea – a cup of tea + marie biscuits
Evening around 6 – fruit again
Dinner around 7:30 pm – 2 rotis + sabzi + salad / 2 pieces of chicken/fish + salad
and if the dinner gets late due to anything beyond 8 pm I skip the rotis and add a fruit instead.
I also have a cup of hot green tea after every meal and anytime if I feel hungry inbetween the meals I have a fruit or marie biscuits… I make sure I dont keep myself hungry for more than half an hour because if you do that what u eat directly converts into fat instead of getting absorbed by the body.
Its been 8 weeks and this is going good and I am so glad I went to my DC…. and I really thank the friend who recommend her…Gosh I hope this just keeps going…
PS: and So the verdict is out… I am making Ojas blog a restricted access blog… so go give me a roll-call of wants to be a reader there ๐ and swaram yes u will have to offer me a bribe
PPS: Anyone know how can I allow non-WP users to access a restricted blog in WP?
Congratulations ! I know exactly how it feels to have lost a good amount of weight in 2 months -same pinch!
thanks hey u too… congrats!!!
and welcome here ๐
wow….good going Monix. Pat on the back ๐
he he monu happily accepts the pat on the back and is flying in air ๐
ok me pulling you back down…you have tons of comments to reply to here ๐
Before I made my comment, there was just one comment before me and then I took a small break and when I came back to refresh…there’s another 8 comments……so you seee why you’re a celebrity ๐
ha ha ha
ya ya me is total celebrity ๐
BTW A, do u know how to allow non-WP users access to WP blogs?
I’m not sure ya Monix. The login page for a protected blog in WP is the WP.com login page itself. I’m not sure of it’s possible but let me check ok…
ya even when I am trying to enable it from the settings its asking me for a WP id…
sigh me no likes this

I think making Ojas’ Blog restricted is an awesome decision. There is something as password posts or sth you can share the password with select readers. I havent used this feature yet, but I think this would be able to help u.
Ohh and yes I want the access to be the reader of the blog too ๐
thanks prats… yes yes i know abt that feature too…
Cool Mons! Congrats ๐
Plsssssss grant me access ๐
Only if I can come first on it

Congrats Monika!

Loving it!! I am so inspired by you (prob already told u that :P) but I am going to recommend this diet/exercise plan to my mum as well – she has been around your start weight for years now and has tried in vain to lose some kilos. She’s vegetarian and i think with some modification she’ll be able to see the same sort of results as you ๐
Keep going – you’re getting there! ๐
he he thanks silvs…
oh will mail u more details would be happy if she can benefit from this… i have been pushing my mom too
If you could that’d be awesome – I’ll pass it on and see what she thinks of it ๐
on its way… will send it to by EOD

you are really working hard to get in shape for meeting me in Manali !!!!!!
not to worry girl… !!!!
I dont go by looks… !! you have me impressed already !!!!!!
he he yes i am working hard for manali…. but to be ready for the trek!!!
u gonna be left behind mind u!!!
Congratulations. I too am a member of ” trying to get fit” club. Your results have given me enough impetus to try and shift the excess weight that I carry.
Btw, I tried the condensed milk cookie/cupcake recipe. They came out well but I’ll probably make cookies as its easy to carry them in a box.
It would be great if you can give me access to Ojas’s blog and the recipes too.
Thanks and well done once again
Gayatri
thanks gayatri… thanks if i could inspire…
I agree with u on cookies… i prefer them too but this was a welcome change ๐
and yes will grant the access but u will have to do me a favor create a wordpress id and mail me… wordpress gives access based on WP id…
and the recipes are gonna be here and this is never going to be restricted
Great Going Monika!! This is so wonderful! Inspired by you and GM, I started keeping a log of what I eat and all activity on a calorie count website – so far, I have managed to exceed my limits disastrously ๐ฆ Have to try and follow your diet and see if I can bring it under control.. Your self control is amazing! I find it difficult to resist food ๐ฆ
๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
I’m like that too smitha…i love fooddddd soo much. it’s so difficult to resist
me too A me too
i know now how am I controlling myself these days
๐ฆ ๐ฆ
oh yes smitha tell me abt it… i love food but I think this time the determination is higher and my weight condition too bad…
and see just yesterday after this post gave in to the temptation of chola bhatura
sigh
Wow.. thats a great effort for nice results. Thanks for sharing the menu for the entire day! I am surprised to see so much of variety and content in each course, yet you were able to lose weight. Good going ๐
oh mohan… this is a misconception that for losing weight we need to eat less… we need to eat right is more like it specially if one works out…
Monika: Great update. Your blogs related to this update have been inspiring me since along time. I have been trying to shed off the weight I gained after having my son but haven’t been successful yet.
And I have just given up thinking I’ll be this way ever.
But your posts make me want to give it another shot again.
Thanks !!
no dont give up parul… i know the feeling so well… been there for a long time… take it in ur hands…
u can do it!!! i am sure if i can everyone can!!!

u are my inspiration lady……………
i am proud of you mona. me too trying to do the same, watch what i eat, hope it will work, its the fourth week with less food and healthy food.

That is eff-ing awesome ,girl!
I seemed to have reached a plateau in my weight loss and hence am currently juggling my diet and exercise to break it ๐ฆ
I was also thinking about starting green tea, it apparently boosts your metabolism and digestion. I really look forward to your weight loss updates, I feel so happy when others succeed along with me. Here’s to a fitter us!
p.s: I have been so busy with my studies lately that I havent found the time to read /write many posts. Will catchup on all your posts soon, promise ๐
that may be body’s way of telling u its needs to adjust a bit or its enough ๐ u in perfect shape now girl ๐
on a serious note… try juggling with the diet the workout, a change helps sometime
ya same here… when people around u succeed one feels so happy isnt it.. and gets doubly motivated
no issues girl… dont apologize
hugs
