Wow I am really impressed with your diet, gosh I wish I could eat like you! I was reading through your post and I use a pedometer (they are quite cheap) to keep count of how far I walk - a device I hook onto my belt or my pocket and keep a record at home - even at work ^^ Good luck!
Getting to my ideal weight

Dear Tinysteps..Thanks for dropping by and your encouraging comments. I try to keep away from oil and sugar. Sugar has been my weakness. Earlier I could mindlessly eat loads of chocs, candies etc. I try to be careful now. Welcome to the forum..I am sure you will do a fabulous job of reaching to your target weight. All the very best..and do keep us posted about the progress.
Breakfast: oatmeal
Lunch: Went out to mall during lunch time. Hunted for a healthy meal..but every thing was starch, oil and too much salt. Had a cottage cheese wrap. But the cottage cheese was deep fried. So it cant be good!
Snacks: Papaya, 2 french fries, 1 cup milk
Dinner: 2 wheat bread, cottage cheese and peas, mushroom and capsicum
Exercise
Today was a rest day..exercise was walking the mall and climbing some steps.

Hey Newie - try not to beat yourself up about the choices you have made in the past. You are working really hard to change all of that now. Keep up the healthier eating and exercise and you will reach your goal.
You can't change the past - but you can drive your future. Have a fantastic day.

Breakfast: oatmeal
Lunch: 2 wheat bread, cauliflower and peas, lentils, yogurt
Snacks: 1 orange, papaya, 3-4 bites of energy bar, 1 cup milk
Dinner: 2 wheat bread, cauliflower, carrots and peas, spinach, yogurt
Exercise
50 min walk
light exercise
I plan to do exercise and walk everyday. Apart from this I need to add some more exercise. It needs to be do at home as I will not have time to go outside. I can play badminton (Can use the space in hallway) or I can do yoga. For yoga, I need to learn first. It can really hurt if I do yoga the wrong way. Let me try with badminton first. I will find the racket tomm.

Welcome Aboard new friend! Are you a vegetarian for ethical or health reasons? Weight loss tips:
To lose weight PERMANENTLY you MUST have a concern for 3 elements:
1.Supportive Nutrition
2.Aerobic exercise
3.Resistance exercise
If any one of these 3 components is missing, or if you have them in the wrong oder you will be limited at best. Apply them correctly you become the sculptor and your body the clay.
Since you're doing "less exercise" does that exclude resistance?

ohh!!..what a day it has been..I have people visiting over..and I have eaten all the wrong food today
Breakfast: oatmeal, papaya
Lunch: wheat bread with butter (i dont have butter usually), lentils, fenugreek, rice (again I try to avoid rice), yogurt, 2 candies!!!
Snack: I had 2 slices of pizza and 2 garlic bread sticks
Its so wrong..I have tried not to eat too much of fatty stuff..for example..I stopped at 2 candies, said no to a full box of chocolate, cold drinks and chocolate cake.
How eating habits of people around you affect you!..my house is full of junk stuff right now..there are so many bottles of pepsi in my fridge, icecreams, lots of packets of chips.
I have not eaten any meal from outside for the past 1 month..and now this.
On top of it no exercise today.
I have not have dinner yet..dont know what it will be like!
ok...they are here for next 3 days..I will try to make healthy choices..this will be my cheat day then...
on a positive note..we clicked photos today..and I looked better

Dear Justina..thxs dear!!..but its becoming more than just one day..I think this is going to continue till the time they leave!
yesterday I tried to make up for the 2 slices of pizza by not having dinner
Breakfast: oatmeal, papaya
Lunch: 2 wheat bread, cutlets, yogurt, chips, 4 candies!!!!!
Snack: 1/2 slice of pizza, one bite of chocolate cake
Dinner: 2 bread, lentils, cottage cheese..but this was loaded with cream and butter
No exercise
So you see..this is not healthy eating...1.5 days more..then I think I will be back to normal...I cannot go back to by old eating habits.

ok...after 3 days of unhealthy eating and no exercise..today was a good day
Breakfast: oatmeal
Lunch: 2 wheat bread, lentils, fenugreek, cottage cheese, yogurt
Snacks: papaya, 4 candies!!
Dinner:2 wheat bread, soya, fenugreek, cottage cheese, yogurt
Exercise
35 min walk
I need to make up for the 3 days of unhealthy diet..the relatives are gone..so I can go back to my usual eating.
To motivate myself I went to an exercise class and learnt awesome exercises for abs,..they are not the light exercise I used to do..this needs stamia,,and since they are strong I hope I can see some difference.
I also did small things to exercise more.such as walking down the steps (hopefully soon I will be able to climb up the stairs instead of lift), taking public transport instead of cab,..hence walking a little bit more..
So back on track from tomm..

Great job on getting back on track! When we have family over there is so much food it becomes really hard for me not to get a little overboard.
Those small things really add up! Plus if it's nice outside it seems to make my mood lift just walking around
Thanks Tally29..its tough to keep off bad food when people are around...i went for a walk today..felt quite good!!

So today was getting back on track
Breakfast: oatmeal, papaya
Lunch: 2 wheat bread, spinach and cottage cheese, soya and peas, yogurt
Snacks: 1 orange, 3 small candies (i know..only a few are left..and I am not going to get more..so this will not be in my log after a few days)
Dinner: 2 wheat bread, spinach and cottage cheese, cabbage and peas, one spoon yogurt
Exercise
I did arm toning exercises with 1 kg weight. After the 2-3 day break I could do more reps. Some of the exercise that I could do only 20 repeats..today I could do 40!!
Abs exercise...wow..this was something new..I tried out the exercises I learnt yesterday. Some of them I could do only 5 repeats..I need to do 10 repeats and increase them till 70. I will try again..goal is to increase the repeats by 10 after 2 days. I could feel some of the muscles that had never moved being exercised today..so hopefully I will get back to my old jeans soon..ok..it might not be soon..I have 6-7 inches to loose...but I will get there!!
