Re: So umm... Thinking about losing weight for your big day?
God im so curious now - show me a pic - how dooo you look!! weight totally doesnt define how good you look!!! crystal renn and hayley morley are models who lovee themselves for gaining weight to walk the ramp!
Re: So umm... Thinking about losing weight for your big day?
I agree with others - makd looks like you don't need to lose weight, maybe just tone up if you're unhappy with a body part. That's the easiest part actually, just do like sit ups or lunges every night.
Daffy don't worry, we're all here to encourage each other! Reduce portion sizes like you said, and replace the choc biscuits u have with almonds or something with chai.
Re: So umm… Thinking about losing weight for your big day?
Of course I want to look at my best during the wedding day and this is how I came with some helpful solutions that I hope will seem useful to you as well!
Re: So umm... Thinking about losing weight for your big day?
Green tea doesn't DO anything like make you lose weight, what it does contain is EGCG, an anti-oxidant that increases your body's fat-burning ability. Your body burns fat based on how much you move, so move more, burn more fat.
There's a homeopathic doctor here who comes on TV, he said he drinks lemon water. It's supposed to improve kidney function, so basically it helps your body eliminate excess water weight. Also girls, take your time of month in account, you will retain more around that time.
I think it depends what kind of personality you are, if you can just think of it as a general goal to be healthier and glowier for your wedding, than just general guidelines and aims for a healthier lifestyle. But some people need the numbers, and goal increments.
Re: So umm... Thinking about losing weight for your big day?
I can tell you that if you drink luke warm water with "FRESH" lemon drops (not the bottled one) with it first thing in the morning before you have anything to eat and continue doing that you will see that no matter what your stomach will feel flat and more toned..
I have done it and I am telling you this from experience. I stopped doing it and my little belly is coming back...so I need to start doing it again...
And btw if acid from lemon wears the enamel out so I sip water using straw :D

Re: So umm... Thinking about losing weight for your big day?
all the dearies who are thinking i shouldnt loose weight i tell you i was 50, 2 yrs before at my nikah and it was perfect since then i m constantly gaining weight.
Trust me I looked better when i was 50 like really toned up now i have** belly coming out** and my waist is increasing and also i have love handles which i m hating! :(
i just want my waist area to be in shape and i know for that i have to loose weight because all the weight which i gained apparently stored there :(

**
**Breakfast: 1 injeer(was running out of time)
Mid day: tea with chocolato biscuits(120 cal straight)
**Lunch: **2 sausages with 2 white bread slices
Mid eve: tea with 2 samosas which were really big D shaped:( (sorry couldnt resist)
Dinner**: **1 cup of milk with 1 injeer and 3 almonds (i could only do this thing better mom made biryani insisted me to eat but i didnt I AM A GOOD GIRL) :D
but then she packed it for my lunch of today :p
Work out: none :$
Re: So umm… Thinking about losing weight for your big day?
^ whats injeer?
also you need to eliminate those chocolate biscuits and eat better for all your other meals.
whole wheat bread instead of white, although it would be better to have the sausages with a plate full of steamed veggies on the side and not have bread at all
no samosas
and eat more/better dinner
what this diet you have going on will do is a) you’re not eating healthy so thats going to have consequences, and b) you are eating far too little. your body is going to go into starvation mode, and actually shut down fat burning because its going to think you are starving and its going to start reserving the fat to preserve your organs. in other words, you will not lose any weight and whatever you were naturally burning will now stop. our bodies are not stupidly made nor are they “unintelligent”. don’t treat them with disrespect.
**
the ONLY way you are going to lose weight is if you burn more calories than you consume by working out/moving, and the calories you consume HAVE to be healthy ones in order to sustain your body’s fat burning and your energy which you will need to work out.**
this is going to sound harsh to the ladies who are trying to lose weight but it has to be said: stop being lazy about this and get to the gym. and if you can’t hit the gym, then work out at home. have you heard of jillian michaels’ Shred workout? 20 minutes a day. don’t tell me you don’t have 20 minutes for yourself. amd if you are insisting you don’t have 20 minutes, then you need to find other ways to move. always take the stairs, walk from home to your work or if you take the transit get off two stops ahead and walk the rest of the way, or park in the farthest corner of the lot and walk to work. slowly you will see a change as your stamina builds and then you’ll have more energy and want to do more.
btw, soups are excellent, complete meals that are very easy to make, are super tasty, and can be low-calorie. one page with recipes- http://www.besthealthmag.ca/soup
but there are tons more if you search for healthy soups on google.
btw, almonds as snacks is a great idea!! eat more than 3. they’re very good for you.
Re: So umm… Thinking about losing weight for your big day?
So changes I am incorporating starting today. Sunn lein sabb!
-
Within the week, hardly 1-2 sweet stuff that too if i have a craving. Else I am going to ignore all gajar ka halwas, firnis, custards, cake alaskas made at work
-
There is usually an option of rice + chinese OR rice/roti + Desi dish & third option is sandwiches. So i am going to switch to brown sandwich which usually is grilled chicken or sometimes chicken spread sort. I know creamy/mayo sandwiches are heavy but at least having that brown bread would save up on some calories. If ill have the Chinese deal, Ill have no rice just the gravy.
-
Pasta, no pasta .. nope .. none .. nope .. or maybe just 2-3 bites if im dying to have it
-
A minimum of 30 minutes walk everyday.
-
Instead of black tea + 1 tsp sugar. It will not be green + 3/4 sugar.
Ill be honest over here… but Girls, if i don’t follow any of these. Scold me bad!!
Re: So umm… Thinking about losing weight for your big day?
injeer is called fig english.
Re: So umm… Thinking about losing weight for your big day?
SGC I dont eat less. this is what i have been eating throughout my life. I just cut down the dinner yesterday which was because of samosas. so my body is used to of it and its not the starvation mode.
yes i should replace my bread with whole grain bread. I will definitely!
for the mid day i dont have any other option. today i had like 4 biscuits :(. in office there is no order alternate. the alternative would be samosa or chips or other bakery stuff like cakes muffins etc. so i collect biscuit normally. what else can i have as my mid day snack?? help help??
ok i accept i cant go to gym and on the other hand for 20 mins exercise i dont know how to? i ll watch videos ok!! infact a couple of times i hav tried http://obsession99.wordpress.com/ so i think i should make it regular. but it hardly take 8 mins. is it enough?
eww!! what else!! i dont know i want to be trimmed from waist :teary1:
