The 3 months Weight Loss Challenge

Today the date is 5th June and the first day of our diet. Yes, you read it right - Our diet.
Why? Because me and 2 of my friends Anu and Shilpa, we all three are going on a healthy diet combined with regular exercise to help reduce our respective weight.

Shilpa - Current weight 63 kgs and in 3 months wants to be 57 kgs - To lose 6 kgs
Anu - Wants to lose 7 kgs in 3 months
Myself - Current weight 62 kgs and wants to be 55 kgs - To lose 7 kgs in 3 months
We are not looking at joining any Talwalkar's, VLCC's or Kaya's of the world but tweaking our current diet by just eating what is right, nutritious and less oily/sweet. And ofcourse in moderation.
And our mantra henceforth will be
"Fitness is a journey not a destination, it should be continued throughout your life"
We will be analysing our weights every week/fortnight to check where we have reached in our endeavour and since we 3 have more or less the same kgs to lose it will be a good way to compare notes and also prove to be a interesting game where we can compete with each other. At the end of which we all will benefit.

We are hoping it works.
As for me, I am planning to eat less for dinner and eat only sprouts (make it interesting like harbara chana bhel)and fruits.
And either swimming or brisk walks and surya namaskar to supplement the healthy diet.
Keeping fingers crossed since I have this huge sweet tooth and have a habit of straying from such routines very easily. I am one of those who can resist anything but temptation. ;-)
So there you are...
I will be writing on the status as much as I can so its easy to follow on the path.
Keep watching this space for more ...
