Re: The Biggest Loser- Queries and Progress

Kangan once we have everyones info we will start posting advice on what to eat etc.

*Meanwhile just to get yourself started start paying attention to the QUANTITIES you eat . *

The Desi Calorie Counter Thread will help you be aware of the calories you are consuming !

5

**Goodluck ppl ! The Challenge begins today. **

I've calculated your caloric ( if u've sent in your details ) reqts per day . Use the Desi Calorie Calculator to keep track of your calories and stay WITHIN the reqt amount. Now this does NOT mean you have to cut out on all those yummy things your having especially in Ramadan. All you need to do for the time being is to think MODERATION !......

**Eat whatever you like but stay within your caloric requirements for the day. **

Gradually we will start shifting to healthier food and better meal plans .

You will be set a new task every 2 weeks. It would be advisable to keep a diary so you can keep track of your own progress or you can post in here everyday on your progress and compare with others. ! Check for the Challenge in the Instructions thread .

We need to know how many days did you stick to the challenge and when did u cave in !

6

How long does the first challenge last? I dont know how to use colors in fonts.

**Munni click on the B and A symbols in the box above and the font gets bold and colour box shows up ! **

*Each New Challenge is introduced every 2 weeks. *

*So that does not mean you stop following the last challenge . You continue to add each challenge to your lifestyle modification ! *

Re: The Biggest Loser- Queries and Progress

can i just say… 3500 calories = 1 POUND of fat

so if u reduce/burn 500 calories per day u can look to burn a pound a week.

2.2 Pounds in a KILO. and 6 KILOS make a STONE

Hope that helps guys!!

Oh and heres a website i find really useful. Just type in ur details and it shows a huge list of activities and how much u can burn doing it =))

Fitness Jumpsite: Calorie Calculator

Good Luck guyssss

Re: The Biggest Loser- Queries and Progress

I will give up soft drinks for the first challenge.

16

Excellent ! :k:

U’ve already got a head start woman :smiley:

That’s what I gave up when I decided to do this …and it made a HUGE difference !..

I’ve been almost Coke -free now for 6 months…I stopped it cold-turkey in March and din’t touch the stuff not even zero coke till June/July when i had it a few times on very special occasions. By that time I knew I had lost my taste for it and din’t even feel like having it after a few sips !
