Hi All,
I know few facts and need some help to lose weight. I know everyone wants to but its not that easy. If someone who has lost weight could shed some light how they went abt it and give some tips..i have not done excericses for quite sometime and i need to start that. Any help would be appreciated and any links where i can educate myself. I am South Asian (from india where rice is staple food). Thank you, Shotman |

Here are a couple sites often recommended. Krista's site is geared toward women but has good information on diet and exercise for everyone. http://www.stumptuous.com/cms/index.php www.fitday.com will allow you to journal your food intake and also has some information on diet and exercise. Just keep posting and asking questions. There are many in the group who have been exactly where you are at the moment and have been successful in losing weight. It often helps to change things slowly instead of trying to change everything at once. Weight loss can be difficult but it's not impossible Beverly 177/141/~140 since 1996 |

Any help would be appreciated and any links where i can educate myself. I am South Asian (from india where rice is staple food). Thank you, Shotman Welcome, Shotman. Beverly has already recommended a couple of good online resources where you can learn a lot. Another one I like is www.exrx.net. Its focus is more on exercise, but there's also a good diet and nutrition section. Exercise is important, as you note -- both cardio and weight training. Also, you will want to start reading these sites or other diet resources to learn about good food choices. In general, you want to focus on lean proteins (less fatty meats and fish, legumes, reduced-fat dairy products), fruits and vegetables, and whole grain products. White rice isn't on the list of best choices :-). Brown rice is much better, but I don't know if it's common in the Indian diet -- don't think I've ever been served it in Indian restaurants. You'll want to try to cut back on dishes that have a lot of fat added in cooking, as well as sugary dishes and sweets. If you stick around here you'll get lots of good hints from people on the list. Many of us have been successful in weight loss -- though you're right, it's not that easy. You can do it. Just start making small improvements and then gradually changing a little more as you go forward. Chris 262/130s/130s started dieting July 2002, maintaining since June 2004 |
