Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge ..Pt2
I have lost 3kg (6lbs) in 2 weeks :)
woo hoo.
Today for breakfast I had 2 boiled eggs and for lunch a bowl of home made tomato soup.
Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge ..Pt2
When I weigh myself this Wednesday I'd really like to see it gone down to 74kg from 76kg.
I had a small meal of rice and chicken, 1 samosa and 1 small slice of cake for lunch....for dinner I'm having only tea. I'm semi crash dieting again because I'm just too bad at maintaining a healthy diet.....and I'm really desperate to go down to 63kg before mid December.
Going for my 90 minutes brisk walk now....
Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge ..Pt2
Well done Inspiron and Hareem
I have been so so so so so bad.. that this mornings weigh in is 66.6kg.. The devil
So back on the wagon today.. I now have 8.5 kg to lose and have a month and a day
I am going to start counting calories
This am..
1 teaspoon of coconut oil.. 50 cals
1 SSMilk Coffee - 100 cals
I want to lose the 2 kilos I have gained over the past 2 weeks that's it..then vack to 58 kg target
The good thing is I joined the gym.. I have my gym pass and my gym clothes and will go at lunch and in the evening..
Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge ..Pt2
Confiiii - going to the gym twice a day might be really tough to keep up with.
You need a proper breakfast girl - trust me its the most important meal of the day, i promise you it will help with weight loss! Its better you have an egg at 80 cals than a teaspoon of pure fat - oil.
Good luck and you can do it!!!

First, peel the tomatoes. Do this by making a small cut in the skin then plunging the tomatoes in boiling water for 1 minute.Run cold water over the tomatoes and the skins can then easily be peeled off. Cut the peeled tomatoes in half with a sharp knife, avoid squashing them.

Peel and finely chop the onions. 40 minutes before the tomatoes are roasted take the tray from the ovenand sprinkle the chopped onion over the tomatoes. Put the baking tray back in the oven.20 minutes before the tomatoes are roasted, peel the potato, chop it into four and place it in a pan with 470 ml (1 pint) cold water. Put the pan of potatoes on the hot plate and let them gently boil. Add 6 whole seeds of Star Anise here if you want.

When the tomatoes are roasted, take the potatoes off the hot plate, remove the Star Anise seeds and add the tomatoes to the pan of potatoes (don’t drain away the potato water). Add the tomato concentrate, a couple of shakes of Lea and Perrins and season with salt and pepper to taste.Use the food blender to puree the soup to a roughish texture.

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge ..Pt2
YUM!! You iz the best inspiron, thank you!! 
Another question ladies (don’t feel like opening a new thread =p )… If you workout with a headache, does that make the headache worse or better?
Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge ..Pt2
it totally depends on the reason of the headache.
If its due to low blood sugar or dehydration working out will make it worse
If its a tension or stress headache then working out will make it better
Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge ..Pt2
My workout has been good, can’t say the same about eating. 
Yesterday while cleaning out a closet I found two things.
My very fit dubli patli pic from over a year ago and my old jump rope. So I am going to use the jump rope to make myself look like the way I did in the pic. :o
