Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Well i got use to of not taking sugar at all but i m back to that half spoon bit :( gotta go way back! :D

Desi chai.

I think i wl go for digestive biscuits.

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

I drink chai with half a tsp of sugar. I have at least 2 cups a day. It doesn't hurt me at all. Chai keeps me full longer so I don' eat as much. I don't like chai with no sugar. I am satisfied and full.

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Yesterday was an ok day. Ate cereal in the morning and had subway in the evening. Was able to squeeze in half hour for an intense workout. I had some fruit too and chai. I would say I had about 800 calories again and was able to burn off 250 or so. I am starting to feel a difference which is a good news. Can't say I lost anything yet.

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

okay fellow weight loss sisters
have officially decided to join in on the challenge : my main motivation being i found out im a bridesmaid for my cousins wedding which is in 40 days or so ......
hence current weight 72 .......

goal weight 65 ...
method: ramadan + carbless iftars ....

im so desperate to get to 65 the last time iw as 65 was 3 yrs ago and i dont want to go on this steady incline of my weight as i get older ... the thought is so DEPRESSING so im determined to turn back the clock and get to my weight when i was 16/17 which was low 60's .... AMEN TO THAT

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

I haven't lost any weight this week because I'm eating too much rice and haven't done any proper exercise either....I think I'm just going to start it again after Ramadan.

147

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Why start after ramadan ? Since you'll already be limiting your calorie intake you may aswell use it to your advantage .....

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

To all ladies who hope to lose weight this ramadan here's a list of foods you should STAY AWAY FROM COMPLETELY , YES THAT MEANS NOT EVEN ONE TINY BITE

  Biryani  (does not help in any way to your weight loss goals, laden with oil and is a 95 percent carb meal so NO)

Pakora, (don't even look at them)
Ice-cream, (have half a glass of milk if you must)
Naan, ( not even one or half a naan )

Let me STRESS to you all, come iftar-time you must excersise a LOT of CONTROL over yourself to not go nuts which is the easiest response most muslims have at iftar, so to avoid losing control the above list of no-go foods eliminates the risk of having a moment of weakness and 20 minutes later you're feeing fat, bloated and guilty for polishing away that huge plate of biryani that will now require you to workout till u sweat profusely which no-one wants to do after iftar and you most likely will not do either , so you'll just end up giving up all together and going back for seconds , making yourself feel better with the thought you'll start again tomorrow.

NO NO NO - THERE IS NO STARTING AGAIN TOMORROW , THERE IS RIGHT NOW , AND ONLY RIGHT NOW AND TOMORROW IS IRRELEVANT - SO MAKE RIGHT NOW COUNT - IF YOU TRULY WANT TO CHANGE THINGS ONCE AND FOR ALL

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

I am excited about ramadan. I am positive I'll lose more weight IA. I would need some help from you guys though. I want good healthy/low cal sehri and iftari ideas. We can each post what we had for sehri and iftari each day and that way we are sharing our recipes and also keeping an eye on our food. Working out after Iftari is a must!

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

I have been slacking lately. I have done no exercise in the last 2 days. However, I am not eating much. My calorie intake has been under 800 and I don't feel hungry. I feel a difference like I said before. My tummy feels tighter and my bosom seems a little deflated lol.
