I am came into 2004 kinda large..very large..After devoting 2003 to my resturant working 14hrs/7days/wk...I grew and grew..to 200lbs..wow..So what did I do..i sold my biz in Canada and moved to India..Now in my 3rd month of my recovery phase. Here in Chennai, my top priority is to lose weight.So i immediately started walking in the mornings, cutting out any junk food, and also started a weight program.

Forward 2.5 months ...I now "jog" in the mornings approx 30 min. 3 x/week..Jogging is the core of my weight reduction. I am sure I would not have lost 20 lbs in 9 weeks.

In the evening I do weight training about 3 times a week. So far no big gains in fact very little progression. I would love to see muscle in my arms, chest but so far nothing...

Finally and most importantly my eating habits are something i am very proud of....I say NO..to a lot of food. Sugar is out..after eating it all my life and oh loving it, I eat within reason..
Also the protein fad is out for me.I eat very little protein....however lots of fruits,carbs, and water.I do not starve myself and rarely miss a meal.

I still have a long long way to go..if anyone wants to chat with me..I look forward to it...
