My weightlosing experiment

As from tomorrow -Jan 13th- I will stop eating sugar and fried food. I will also do at least 30 mins excersize 4 days a week. (With excersize I mean a good 30 minutes fast paced walk from uni/work to home and vice versa or 30 minute ropeskipping)

I will report back in exactly 3 months and post the result (lost weight?!)

Is there anyone who’d like to give this a try with me?

  • The no sugar part is going to be really tough for me as I always have something sweet after dinner :frowning:

Only sugar and fried foods?. How about carbs from bread, rice and potatos?. How about carbonated drinks?. A 12 oz can of coke has 27 gms of sugar.

nevertheless, you are on the right track.

I've cut down on the sugar too. Usually, I need something sweet after eating dinner but over the past month, I've tried not having anything even remotely sugary. I don't even take sugar with my chai!

As Funguy has stated, you should also look into cutting down on your starch in take .... rice, potatoes, pasta, etc.

Anyway, you don't exactly need to lose weight!

FG :grumpy:

Like I said it’s an experiment. Dekhte hain if I really lose weight or not. Maybe my next ‘experiment’ will be the carb thingie.

Aur haan when I said sugar, I meant sugar in every form (except for fruit). Will even stop taking sugar in my tea/coffe :-/
I don’t like coke or any fizzy drink.

Mehnaz,
I need my sugar after dinner :frowning: So giving that up is going to be the toughest part. (u remember the yummy pastry we had in London , I have one of those at least once a week here :yummy: )

For now I will only give up fried food and sugar and see if Ilose any weight! Only wanna shed 5kg at the max!

^Gabru? :hoonh:

I put on a good five pounds in England due to those pastries. They are EVIL!

I heard somewhere that cutting down
on the salt intake can also help. I wonder if it's true.

BTW, you look good with or without the sugar in you. Why bother?.

Aalhan, I have no clue! One thing is for sure, I am not giving up salt :-/

FG, :)
I'm gonna bother cuz:

  • I want to test myself, can I really do this for three months?
  • I wanna lose the 'chubbiness'
  • Maybe I can motivate others to give this try?!

Shinoo,

I'm going to try something similar so you can count me in!

I am going to try cutting out unhealthy fast-food, and no more store lemonade for me (I dont drink soda but store lemonade has tons of sugar.)

And exercise regularly.

Lets see where we get in three months. smile

first of all schnookumss (referring to Shino) you look great from what I've seen in the image gallery..
2nd.. no sugar is realllllllllllly hard.. or else I'd do it with you.

PS have you kept in mind all the sugar you eat not knowing its sugar..?
I dont think its possible to completely cut sugar.

:k: Keep me updated!

Muniya,
Schnookumss, that’s a new one :smiley:
I am not overweight, that’s not the reason I’m doing this. Just want to lose a few extra pounds and see if this really works :slight_smile: I know about the sugar, it is really hard but hey, I’m gonna try! I’ll probably have my weak moments and give in once in a while but will make sure that I don’t have as much as I’m having right now.

Good luck shinoo, don't forget to let us know how it goes.

I'm in too, I have nothing better to do for three months than inflate, may as well go the other way.

Count me in.

I am with ya! Let see ...

Oh and I am only with ya for sugar, though will go easy on the fry stuff. :-p

Excellent! :k:

Ahmadjee (tsk tsk fatty, can’t leave the fried food eh :nono: )

Please take this serious (just like I’m planning to) so that we can really call this an ‘experiment’. It’s important that you cut back on sugar and excersize (more than you do now)
Let’s see how much weight (if any?) we can lose at the end of 3 months :hula:

When you say you will shun fry food, what do you really mean? Not even fried eggs? What about things like fried bhindiyaaN?

And I can’t say no to my Mom’s parathay … they are just too :yummy:
