Weight at 8 am 63.90 kg.
[This time the weight reduction project has started from 17.8.2022. Weight at 10 am 68.5 kg
Due to abdomen infection and related complications like muscle pains, activities have come down drastically and weight increased to almost 70 kg. At this stage, I started taking full rest for almost four months. So I can say in this weight reduction cycle, weight went down to 62.1 kg minimum in this round of reduction effort. That is 6.4 kg. Around 9% reduction. But as pointed out as normal food is resumed the rebound in weight may go up to 67 kg. Already in one day the jump is by 1.4 kg from 62.5 to 63.90. No doubt I shall put breaks in between. Let us see how it progresses.] I am committed to another round of serious effort starting in April 2024. This time I shall try to touch 60 kg.
10.1.2024
Weight at 7.00 am 62.5 kg
Weight after dinner 64 kg.
I am reducing focus on weight reduction for some time. From 1st November to 12 December, I had a focus on weight reduction and walked 10,000 steps most of the days. I skipped breakfast also. There was break in diet pattern till 1st January 20204. Once again I focused on diet and walking till today. Earlier the minimum weight reached 62.1 kg. This time it reached 62.5 kg. If I start eating breakfast and start taking up to 2000 calories per day, I expect the weight to go up to 67.5 kg (Initial estimate. Why so? 2 kg because water will increase due to glucose build up in liver and muscles. One kg may increase because of increase of matter in gut. One kg may go up if salt-sodium increase takes place in blood. One kg may increase due to increase of sugar in blood. I shall try to search for research support to these assumptions. But I already noted earlier that 5 kg increase is possible. I shall once again have a project to go on weight reduction during April 2024. I shall still keep measuring weight frequently and recording it here.

Weight Loss Story - 20 kg Reduction from 80 kg to 60 kg - Diary
My Weight Reduction Project Started on 1 October 2016
Weight loss may not happen in simple linear way. Many ups and downs happen. But be at it. You are likely to succeed.
Maximum weight during the September 2016 last week was 80 kg.
Started the weight loss project on
1st October 2016.
First 11 days due to a religious event, only took fruits and some uncooked items during the day. Cooked food was consumed only in the night. The weight came down to 75 kg by 15th October. From then onwards, 1200 calorie diet was started. The weight came down to 73 kg by 31 October.

Good to come back to the page. Weight has not gone down much in this year. May be there is a resistance of the body giving some health problem or other. Have to try once again.

Weight in the morning at 8 am 68 kg
Weight in the evening at 7 pm 68 kg.
15 May 2019
Morning weight less than 68 kg.
After breakfast it is 68 kg.
On 14 May 2019 after a full day fasting without water (nirjala ekadashi) the weight came to
67 kg. On Wednesday 12.9.2019 also after 9 am no further food was taken for the full day. So it is also most after 45 hours of no food that weight got reduced by two kg to 67.
31 May 2019
8 pm before dinner weight is 68 kg. This is after two days of only lunch. So expect increase in weight after two or three days as gluco levels go up and water weight will increase. Whenever fasting is done glucose in the body goes down and along with it water. No doubt fasting will ultimately reduce fat if no excess food is eaten after fasting.
7 May 2019
Morning weight at 8 am =
68 kg (home machine reading). One needs to watch weight on a continuous basis to maintain or reduce it. Even two to three days of relaxed eating or change in eating pattern is increasing weight. One of my colleagues in Ergonomics said up to 5 kg weight fluctuation is normal and without any real health reason underlying it.

Shows that one has to be careful all the time regarding weight maintenance especially when you are at the border of 25 BMI.

Happy that weight reduction is once again taking place. Weight increased during August -September - October to as high as 71 kg. It is 6 kg of weight gain in six weeks. It may take at least 3 months to go on reduced diet for a week and lose 3 kg and bring morning weight to 65 kg. (Morning weight after the fast day on Sunday 10 June 2018 is
63 kg at Kakinada) I have to try and reach 63 kg again,
17 February 2019
Morning weight
67.5 Kg
I am doing diet control from 11th February. This time I plan it for 10 days up to 20 February. Weight management is a tricky issue because of body's reaction in hunger pangs or overweakness feeling. An health problem requiring antibiotics and tranquilizers may also result in weight gain. It is easy to gain weight at the rate of one kg per week if one is eating bigger portions and also more times during the day. But losing it at the rate of one kg per week becomes difficult as the diet control for longer periods is not easy.
23 November 2018
Morning weight 68 kg
Yesterday on 22 November it was 69 kg. A day of fasting due to Kartik Poornima brought the weight by a kg more. But fasting is giving severe cramps. One has to be very careful with these adverse effects. Unnecessarily suffering body stress and stain is not advisable
21 October 2018
Morning weight 68 kg
From a low of 64 kg on 29 July 2018, the weight has gone up to a maximum of 71 kg by 6 October 2018. The weight increase occurred in a six week period during August last week to October 1st week of 2018. The reason is extra involved physical and mental effort that resulted in weakness and subsequent overeating. The 9 day Dasara fast just got completed and today morning the weight reading is 68 kg. So once again I have to make a fresh attempt to reduce weight to 62 kg morning weight. It means the full year of 2018, the weight may remain the same as it was at the beginning of the year.

“Weight loss is the least likely New Year’s Resolution to be achieved,”
A 2015 study published by the American Journal of Public Health illustrates this point:
"over a nine-year period, the probability of obese subjects attaining a normal weight was 1 in 210 for men and 1 in 124 for women."
"The probability shrinks even further—just 1 in 1290 for men and 1 in 677 for women—among those considered morbidly obese."
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4539812/
So you can see how tough it is to reach weight goals. My story illustrates the ups and downs and frustrations. But let me continue my project for more days with renewed determination.

Early Morning Weight Reading 65 kg
Important Milestone Reached. The next target 64 kg. Aamir Khan's weight loss story helped. Two hours of walking or exercise is being attempted on many days.
______________________________________
Do you need to reduce weight due to health reasons?
If you are serious about reducing the weight you can do it by appropriate diet and exercise.
Eat at least 500 calories less than your calorie requirement and do walking regularly.
It is the energy deficit that will finally give weight reduction. Exercise improves your aerobic health, maintains metabolism. Exercise may also give you pleasant emotions even though you are starving to some extent due to reduced calorie intake. It gives you a feeling of achievement and command over your body.
Weight Loss Story - 20 kg Reduction from 80 kg to 60 kg - Diary
My Weight Reduction Project Started on 1 October 2016
Maximum weight during the September 2016 last week was 80 kg.
Started the weight loss project on 1st October 2016.
First 11 days due to a religious event, only took fruits and some uncooked items during the day. Cooked food was consumed only in the night. The weight came down to 75 kg by 15th October. From then onwards, 1200 calorie diet was started. The weight came down to 73 kg by 31 October. For the next two weeks. There was no change in the weight. That made me search internet and I came across the concept of
weight plateau. The body is compensating for low calorie diet and is resisting the reduction weight. The advice was to change the diet pattern.
75 kg photo on 18 October 2016
I started 3 days 2000 calories, 2 days 500 calories and 2 days 1200 calories pattern from 1st December. On 14th December, the weight came down to 70 kg. Along with reduction in diet I am also doing 5 km per day walking 5 days in a week.
My target is to reach 64 kg. I think it will take 3 more months to reach that target. But I plan to shift to 1800 calories per day diet from 1st January 2017 and some changes during the week (Probably 3 days 1800, 2 days 1200 and 2 days 2000 calorie diet)
My experience shows that if you are serious about reducing the weight you can do it by appropriate diet and exercise. I did not have any major problems to stick to the diet plan. There was some desire to eat on two or three days. But you can eat some thing more on some days if you have to, without any break in your weight loss program.
Weight Loss Story from 70 kgs to 66 kg
17th December
On 14th December I first noted that the weight has reached the minimum value of 70 kg.
On 17th December at 8.45 pm the weight has reached again the 70 kg number. The weight keeps fluctuating on a day to day basis especially due to changes in water stored by the body. So 17th is also Saturday. On this day, my plan is to take 500 calories. May be I take 750 calories. The next two days I plan to take 1200 calories and once take reduced calories on Tuesday. I may be able to see weight less than 70 kg on Wednesday.
18th Morning
The minimum weight is once again 70 kg. So a good start for the next 15 days' goal of 69 kg.
19th Morning
Felt weakness. Recovered by afternoon.
Photo on 19th evening (70 kg weight)
29 December 2016
The weight in the morning 9.30 am has gone below 70 kg.
30 December 2016
The first weight measurement in the morning 7.15 am is 70 kg. From now on I want to focus on the first weight measurement in the morning instead of minimum weight. Focusing on minimum weight is resulting in a waste of time and number of measurements in the day. In stead of focusing only on the first measurement of the day will result in savings of time and also no further effort is required in the day expect the planned routine for the day. Now I am confident that weight will come down with planned diet. Given a deficit of
500 calories per day, one lb weight will come down every week and hence in a full month 2 kg weight reduction can be there.
8 January 2017
Today the weight reached 69 kg. There is an interruption in diet plan because of parties on 31st December and 1st January. But quickly overcame that by missing three dinners to reach 69 kg and keep the momentum of weight reduction. Now by month end I plan to reach 68 kg. 2 kgs per month is the target from now.
18 February 2017
No, there is no further weight reduction. 69 kg is still the minimum weight. In the first fortnight of February, I caught cold. Therefore no walking and more rest.
But today the good news is that my waist shows a reading of 35 inches.
The reduction was achieved from 38 inches. So internally the benefits and diet plan and exercise are being realized. So I should still believe in the weight reduction plan and continue it for another two months. I want to do the weight reduction for the benefit of myself as well as for providing the genuine case to others. If your medical condition requires it you can reduce your weight by appropriate diet and exercise plan.
19 February 2017
Morning 6.30 am measurement showed 68 kg.
In a day two kg difference. What was done? Two hours of walking in the morning of 18 Feb 2017. A light lunch was taken. Dinner was not taken. A prescribed diuretic was taken in the usual course of things. The result was the reduction of weight to 68 kg which was the target for end January. Today if Sunday and some diet control on the day could help me to maintain weight around 68 kg tomorrow also. This 68 kg reading is based on special effort.
26 February 2017
Waist reached 34 inches.
The morning weight today is less than 69 kg. By tomorrow will it go down below 68 kg?
27 February 2017
Yes, the weight has gone below 68 kg.
I skipped dinner yesterday. Took only lunch for the entire day. Taking only one meal means, the intake can be restricted to 600 to 700 calories. Add 200 more for morning and evening teas. So a total of 900 calories will go inside for the day. I plan to do it once a week for the next two months.
6 March 2017
The weight is close to 67 kg.
Today morning at 6.30 am the weight reading is close to 67 kg. Felt very weak last week, but still had a light food on Sunday. Today morning I went for a 45 minute walk from 5.30 to 6.15 am. Of course there was some work to do outside.
Reaching this minimum weight required special effort.
Decided to raise calorie input to 1800 from today. May be on Saturday and Sunday something less will be the intake.

Weight Fluctuations
In this week, there is a big weight fluctuation. On Wednesday, I broke my routine and ate evening tiffin. This was because there was good amount of weakness on the day. The weight has gone up to 72 kg maximum. In the downward movement,
it became 68.5 kg at 12 noon of today (11 March 2017).
What is the reason for fluctuations? The water decrease and increase. When one walks for an hour, there can be a decrease in weight by one kg. If one does not drink water for some more time there can be further decrease in water in the body and weight further goes down. But very quickly the water will get replenished and weight comes back. Another issue is at any time, a person who is dieting eats more, the glucose store gets replenished and weight can increase by 2 kg very quickly. So 3 to 5 kg can be gained very quickly in just days. This point is important to note because many people give up their weight reduction attempts very quickly as gain weight when the exercise is reduced and food intake is increased even for few days. Same thing will happen when weight reduction attempt is stopped. Four to five kg of weight increase will take place. So weight reduction target or goal is to be set taking into consideration this likely increase.
After dinner weight is slightly lower than 70 kg.
12 March 2017
The early morning
weight is 69 kg. 69 kg as a minimum weight was reached on 8th January. I have to now look for keeping 69 kg as the maximum weight in a day. Yesterday the maximum weight was 70 kg. I have to look for the day when 69 kg becomes the maximum. Will it happen this week or next? There can be a gap of 1.5 to 2 kg between minimum and maximum weight in a day.
On 12 March 2017, the maximum weight reached 71 kg. It went up to that number after evening snacks the reading was 70 kg and after dinner it went up to 71 kg. There was no movement during the day as I sat down and did lot of computer related work.
13 March 2017
The morning weight was more than 69 kg. But around 11.15 am, after three cups of liquid and 4 or 5 almonds, the weight is
less than 69 kg. So it is a good sign to show that the reading will go to 68 in the future. It should go down to 68 kg without any special effort the previous day or the current day. It has not happened. May be it will take another two weeks. But in the meantime special efforts will be done like walking 10 kilometers etc. to push minimum weight below 67 kg. But I shall take 1800 calories per day every day to avoid unnecessary weakness. Last week I suffered weakness for almost a week.
18 March 2017 - Saturday
Minimum weight reached is 68 kg.
It is good because on 11 March 2017, the
minimum weight was 68.5 kg. The special effort was a walk outside for one hour ten minutes from 11.20 am to 12.30 noon. A diuretic in the morning. I could not do evening walk on Friday (17 March 2017). No diet skipping was there. During the last week I was taking around 1800 calories daily. Also skipped evening walk on Thursday.
19 March 2017 - Sunday
Minimum reading today is 69 kg (11 am). It was the measurement in the morning. After one hour walk also, the reading is the same.
28 March 2017 Tuesday
The maximum weight is close to 70 kg these days. I have to wait for the day when it goes below 70 kg. I don't think so far on any day maximum weight was less than 70 kg. If it happens it will be another success in the weight reduction project.
From 6 March onwards, I increase intaked to 1800 calories, may be slightly less on Saturday and Sunday. Still I think weight is showing signs of decrease.
14 April 2017 Friday
Minimum weight is 68 kg. I am trying to maintain maximum weight at 69 kg for the day. What I observed is on a day when morning weight is 68 kg, in the evening, if walking for 5 km is done, the weight still shows 69 kg and by next day morning minimum weight becomes 69 kg and maximum goes above 70 kg. So the water loss that occurs during walking comes out clearly in the weight measurements.
29 April
For the last few days weight is fluctuating between 69 and 68 kgs. So the goal keeping maximum weight to 69 kg was achieved. Intake of 1800 calories may give some weight reduction. But significant weight reduction may not happen in short time with 1800 calories. So I am trying to push calorie intake down to 1400 or 1500 calories. Also I am trying to go a morning walk in addition to evening walk. There two walks of 5 km each may result in expenditure of 500 calories and thus a deficit of 1000 calories per day may be created facilitating weight reduction.
4 June 2017
I took a break from dieting on 16 May 2017. I went on two trips and I did not want to become weak or show tiredness during the trips. So I ate more during the trips without any specific restrictions on the food. I came back from the trips on 3 June 2017. So once again I want to continue weight reduction activity from today. The morning measurement of weight is
70 kg. I shall monitor my weight for the next two months with a diet less than 1400 calories. I think I shall quickly come back to my minimum weight of 68 kg may be in a week. I thought of doing an extra walk of 5 km in the morning. But it is causing severe weakness feeling. So I have to stick to evening walk only.
11 June 2017
10th June is Saturday and night I take light tiffin. The morning weight reading at 6.30 am is
69 kgs. But as I look back, I realize weight is almost constant for the last six months or five months. Can I do good weight reduction in the next two months. I have to follow strict diet control and see.
21 June 2017
Today, I am lucky to see the weight reading at
69 kg. During the last 10 day, the weight fluctuated between 70 and 71 kg. The whole experience shows how frustrating the whole project is. The weight reduction does not happen linearly. The body has various mechanism to fight back and delay weight reduction. We have to be patient and stick to diet and exercise routine for sufficiently longer periods of time. The body creates intense tiredness feeling. So sometimes we are forced to eat more and that may break the momentum of weight reduction and we are back by one two kg.
12 July
From 4 July onwards I started low carbohydrate diet. Started eating idlies, pesarattu (moong dosa), and sprouts. With rice I am taking dal only.
Some benefit is there. Today the weight reading is
68 kg. I want continue with the diet for 3 weeks more. The writers are warning that long periods of dieting can create problems of muscle cramps because of reduced in take of vitamins and excessive loss of water from the body. People doing dieting with the help of nutrition experts may not get into big problems. But persons doing on their own can get into problems.
20 July
Today also weight reading is
68 kg. The body feels light. But the weight reading is still the same.
22 July
The minimum weight reading has gone below
67 kg. After lunch the weight reading was 68 kg. But after evening eating of salad the weight has gone further up.
27 July
The reading is close to 67 kg today. But this is after a bout of diarrhea on 25 July. Still 2 more kg of reduction required to touch 65 kg.
The weight after breakfast is 68 kg and interesting thing is that I drank three glasses of water in the morning and three cups - one cup milk and two cups tea. Good going.
4 August
Weight is less than 68 kg at around 10 am
23 August 2017
At 11.10 am today, the weight is
66.5 kg. I am trying to take 1200 calories more strictly for the last 10 days.
20 September 2017
No entries after 23 August 2017. By the second week of September 2017, I felt weak and not having interest to do normal activities. Hence I increased the food intake for two days and had an attack of indigestion and stomach upset. After the stomach upset day, may be on 13 September 2017, the minimum reading was 66 kg. Due to weakness, I was more liberal with food. On 16 September 2017, I once had a stomach upset and on 17th Sep, the reading at 12 noon with no food intake during the morning except a cup of tea was 69 kg. It means, some glucose store got built up and store of water also increased due to it.
On 20th September 2017, I went for weight related analysis session.
The measurements are:
Weight: 70.3 kg (including the normal pant, shirt and undergarments)
Fat 25.7%
Visceral fat 13.5%
Skin Fat 17.9%
RM: 1582
MM: 29.0 ( MM is muscle mass)
Body age (BA) 58

Came across articles on Aamir Khan's Weight Loss of 25 Kg. - Interesting
Aamir Khan's 25 - 28 Kg Weight Loss Story - 5 Five Month Effort
http://oldageindia.blogspot.com/2017/10/aamir-khans-25-to-28-kg-weight-loss.html
The question based on this article is how to do exercise to consume 1000 calories a day?
1 November 2017
66 kg reading
Last week, 3 days, I tried to be actively exercising for 4 hours. Took full rest on a day. 2 days, did 2 or 3 hours exercise.
The morning measurement on 1 Nov 2017 showed 66 kg. After taking water, milk and tea, the reading was 67 kg.
27 November 2017
66 Kg seems to be the weight in the morning during the last few days. This has come about due to skipping evening tiffin and dinner on Wednesday (22 November) and Friday (24 November). The lowest weight had even touched 65 kg. So may some more months to reach 64 kg based on the progress during the last year. But a strong hope is there to reach the target now.
21 December 2017
Early Morning Weight Reading 65 kg
Important Milestone Reached. The next target 64 kg. Amir Khan's weight loss story helped. Two hours of walking or exercise is being attempted on many days.
2018 Weight Reduction Diary
3 January 2018
66 kg reading.
It party time during 23, 24 December. Then I traveled to Mumbai. January 1 is once again party time. But today morning (3rd January) the weight reading is 66 kg after a Tuesday So good beginning point. I want to reach 63 kg as fast as possible. I am now focusing 10,000 steps per day. It is the fourth day. I have already taken 6,426 steps. Now it is 1.35 pm. So I shall complete 10,000 steps on the fourth day also. Some say, a mile is equal to 2000 steps. I plan to walk 2 miles in the morning and 2 miles in the evening. Rest of steps will get complete as I go to walking track and come back.
6 January 2018
Increased the steps to 20,000 per day.

18 January 2018
Morning weight 65 kg
65 kg immediately after getting up in the morning (After first urination).
At 65 kg. today right in the morning after getting up.
So it taking quiet sometime for the weight to get stabilized at lower levels. Water accumulation and decrease has its own timetable set by the body mechanisms independent of our weight reduction activities. So patience required to continue with the weight reduction project.
27 February 2018
Minimum weight reached 64 kg
The minimum weight reached 64 kg after a day of fasting (Ekadashi) only ground nuts 150 grams was taken. In the morning one hour of walking was done on empty stomach.
I read Jason Fung's Fasting and Exercise – Fasting 23 and went for a long walk after the fast day. It is fine. I could walk without any problem.
https://idmprogram.com/fasting-and-exercise-fasting-23/
The minimum weight of 64 kg was reached two days earlier also after I skipped evening meal (Saturday tiffin) and waited up to 1.30 pm for taking food the next day.
15 March 2018
Came back from a trip of 26 days. I made multiple tours with in these 26 days.
The weight reading back home is 66 kg.
“Weight loss is the least likely New Year’s Resolution to be achieved,”
A 2015 study published by the American Journal of Public Health illustrates this point:
"over a nine-year period, the probability of obese subjects attaining a normal weight was 1 in 210 for men and 1 in 124 for women."
"The probability shrinks even further—just 1 in 1290 for men and 1 in 677 for women—among those considered morbidly obese."
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4539812/
So you can see how tough it is to reach weight goals. My story illustrates the ups and downs and frustrations. But let me continue my project for more days with renewed determination.
23 March 2018
Morning weight after urination and passing of stools: 66 kg.
9 April 2018

24 April 2018
Weight reached 64 kg before dinner after a 24 hour fast.
Weight reached 64 kg 13 days earlier after a Tuesday fast followed by Ekadashi fast on Wednesday (11 April 2018). So for a second time minimum weight reached 64 kg in Mumbai. Raising hopes of minimum weight of 62 kg soon.
24 April 2018 Remark - In the evening after fasting for full day, Yesterday Dinner to Today Dinner weight reached 64 kg.
28 April 2018
Starting the day for a second time in this week with morning weight of 64 kg. 26 April 2018 was Ekadashi Day and that day also morning weight was 64 kg.
28 April 2018 is a Saturday and hence a fasting day. Let me see how much lower the reading goes today. (The weight has gone down to
63 kg after the fast and one and half hour walking in fasted state in the morning on Sunday)
29 April 2018
Reached 63 kg weight (minimum).
Morning weight was 64 kg. After one and half hour of walking, the weight reading was found to be
63 kg. Tuesday is a another fasting in this week. Let me see what will be the readings on that day. But in the meanwhile I have two eat-well days.
30 April 2018
The morning weight reading on 30 April 2018 is 64 kg.
After the eat well day on 29 April 2018, the morning weight reading on 30 April 2018 is 64 kg. May be after two weeks the morning weight will come down to 63 kg. At least four days of fasting may be required. Presently intermittent fasting seems to be helping.
12 May 2018
63 kg (minimum weight) reached again.
After a full day fast on 11 May 2018 (Ekadashi) weight reached 63 kg on 12 May after completing 10,000 steps on empty stomach at 8.40 am. The weight reading on 11 May morning was 65 kg. So a reduction of 2 kg was observed after the full day fast. But reading on morning of 12 May at 6 am was 64 kg.
After lunch the weight reading was 65 kg.
20 May 2018
Morning weight 64 kg.
This week the fasting day was Friday 18 May 2018. I could not do full fast because I have to antibiotics. So I had small break fast and small amount of food in the evening. I had two cups of tea with sugar also. On Saturday, I had food four times or even more times as I was in a meeting. But the weight reading on 20 May 2018 in the morning was 64 kg. I had a glass of water, milk and tea and went for a hours walk. Still the weight reading at the end of the walk is 64 kg.
So I can feel confident that the methods are working and it may only take some more time to reach the target weight of 62 kg.
26 May 2018
25 May is fasting day. It was Ekadashi day also. I did full fasting and walked 20,000 steps. Consumed 2850 calories. On 26 morning I went for 10,000 steps walk and consumed 1200 calories. Thus on fasting state, I consumed 4050 calories. The weight reading is 64 kg. But, I have taken good amount of water this time to minimize cramps. Last week, I got cramps on the day after the fast. Today, my morning walk after fast day is comfortable.
2 June 2018
Morning weight 63.5 kg.
This weight reading is at 9 am after one glass of water and milk.
1 June 2018, Friday was the full fast day. This time time I have used two packets of ORS. Also, I did not take tea at all. But consumed 3 liters of water during the day. Also I did not go for evening walk. I did not walk in the morning of 2 June also. But during the day, on 1 June, the total steps made came to 15,000. On second June, it came to 2,800 steps. In terms of calorie consumptioin, on 1 JUne it was 2500 and on 2 June up to 9 am it was 750. It was 500 at the 6.15 am. So in three hours 180 calories is routine expenditure and another 70 is due to activity.
Today, the plan is to eat full. Four times of food intake. I already had my breakfast.
6 June 2018
Morning weight reached 64 kg.
Morning weight reached 64 kg. This is on Wednesday. The fasting day was Friday.
In the evening before dinner also the weight was 64 kg. After dinner it went up to 65 kg. If it continues for the next 3 days at the end of the fasting day on Sunday the weight may reach 63 kg.
11 June 2018
Morning weight after the fast day on Sunay 10 June 2018 is
63 kg.
Morning weight after the fast day on Sunday 10 June 2018 is 63 kg. 63 kg came earlier also after a fast day, but it was the result of 20,000 steps on the fast day supplemented by 10,000 steps on the next day. But this time, I walked only 10,000 steps on the fast day and no walking on the next day. Also this time I took almost 4 litres of water along with 3 packets of ORS (electrolytes). This helped in preventing cramps and also maintained the weight at 64 kg throughout the fast day. It is only in the next day morning that the weight showed 63 kg. That way this is more stable weight.
Next week I plan to eat full on four days up to Friday which is a fast day. Say no further weight reduction is expected till Saturday morning. But the next week plan to skip breakfast for the full week as I did last two weeks.
12 June 2018
Morning weight 64 kg
Evening weight after dinner 65.5 kg. At least half liter extra water taken during the day. An extra cup of tea was taken. Walking: only 6300 steps instead of normal 10,000 steps. There is some discomfort in legs. So walking needs to be reduced during the next two to three days.
24 June 2018
Weight at 12 noon 64 kg.
Walking was reduced in the last 12 days. Yesterday was Saturday. Only lunch and dinner were taken. In the morning one liter of water, a cup of milk and a cup of tea were taken. At 12 noon, the weight reading is 64 kg. So, the weight is likely to come down further in the coming weeks and months. But for some weeks walking needs to be reduced. The present plan is to skip breakfast and take the morning food only after 12 noon. Approximately 2100 calories intake will be there and 2300 calories expenditure may be there per day. It means 10,000 steps are to be taken daily.
2 July
Weight at 5.00 am 64 kg
The reading has come after missing the evening snacks and dinner on both Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, there was more food intake during the morning session as high as 5 servings of food and tea. Sunday breakfast and lunch were more normal. Walking was also normal on Saturday and Sunday. No special walking. Around 9000 steps were taken. No special water loss also occurred as normal water intake was taken.
10 July 2018 (Tuesday)
Morning weight 64 kg.
But weight on Friday evening has gone up to 68 kg. Might be due to some new medicine. Some reduction in food on Saturday and Sunday and drastic reduction on Monday coupled with walking of 16000 steps on Monday brought the weight back to 64 kg.
The waist is much more elastic now. I am able to compress it using belt now more easily and can tolerate the compression for an hour or two.
24 July 2018
Morning weight 64 kg
23 July Monday was ekadashi and fast was done on that day. Only a cup of milk and some dry fruits were eaten. Weight in the morning of 23 July was 65 kg and it came down to 64 kg due to fast. So still it is taking lot of time for further reduction of weight. Good thing this time is that no cramps came despite only taking plain water during the fast day.
The waist has reached 33 inches and now it can be compressed easily with the belt up to 32 inches. So body changes are indicating positive developments but weighing machine says no further decrease in weight. I have to keep my effort going further to reach the target of 62 kg. This fifteen days I plan to eat full on all week days but do a long morning walk on Saturday and Sunday on fasting stomach and register up to 1000 calories on each day before I take my cup of morning milk. I plan to do a fast on the next ekadashi day.
25 July 2018
Morning weight 64.5 kg
28 July 2018 (Saturday)
Morning weight 64 kg.
29 July 2018 (Sunday)
Morning weight 64 kg.
Monday to Friday full diet will be taken (2300 calories)
Saturday and Sunday around 1600 to 1800 calories will be taken. Idea is to create around 1000 calories deficit on Saturday and Sunday.
