beautiful. here's a calorie calculator and a mayo diet plan link if you'd like to use it. I'm not.

so basically if i eat 1800cals/d,  i stay my current weight. if i eat 500 cals less, that is 1300cals/d, I lose a pound per week. I already made up a nutritious diet that meets those goals: vegs in the am and fruits and nuts for the remainder of the day. but i really want to lose 2lbs per week so i have to squeeze in exercise daily. okay finally a concrete plan.

good luck, kinnera.

this actually works... i used myfitnesspal last summer to track this and lost i think 7-8 lbs or so in 6-7 weeks. good luck, etc.

i am gonna go for my annual soon, and hope my A1G and fasting stays normal, i ate a lot of sweet stuff last 3 months, so this will be a decent test indeed. i am not worried about cholesterol and all, have never had high triglycerides, but hope i don't see surprises there.

as of now, i am not overly worried about my weight. it's high but it's maintained there. i need to feel the motivation from within to do anything, which is not happening right now. i do try to eat sensibly whenever i can, and have restarted one cardio class, and LO and BEHOLD, i bought a small package for bikram yoga on groupon coz a friend of mine would not shut up about it... so ya, let's see where that takes me.

Thank you for the link from "saptapadi."

My weight now is 130 pounds.
I have been eating at least two fruits a day.
Let's keep score to stay motivated.

I really doubt if either of these 130/135 figures are true. What is your best guess for the offset?
130 plus or minus 50.  I will not be surprised if the paithiyakkari is above 200.
How do I know? Simple. People with 130 weight don't go on crash diets.

Thanks Pravu. With my fitbit, i know the calories that i am expending. It's doing all the work to give me the info. Now i need to work on the calorie input. I haven't done that yet. I need to work on it soon. With the stuff that i cook (mostly indian), i want to do my own calculations and have a chart of my own. Takes time and effort, but once the calorie count for the common food i make is done, it's going to be easy.
My target calorie input is 1000 cals. The target calorie output is 1800-2000 cals. I am able to hit 2000 on a good day, 1800 on an average day. i am happy with that. Will have to slowly increase that too.

you think PN's a baby elephant? I doubt it but regardless, women obsess over the scale even if they're underweight.
