The high level goals

I should weigh 80 kgs. (Why?)

I want to lose 1-1.5 kg per month. (Why?)

And I weigh 116 now, so I have to lose 36 kg *sigh*- that's like one third of my current weight. I won't even be me after that. I wonder how will only two thirds of me contain all this awesomeness. Anyway, so I have to lose 36 kg. If I lost 1-1.5 kg/month, it will take me 2-3 years. So the deadline is basically March 1, 2015, and by that time I will be 80 kg.

To lose 1.5 kg every month, I need to create a caloric deficit of <so much>, and since I am planning on Not losing more than that, I won't be creating a greater caloric deficit. So I will keep my eating within this calorie range: <some> - <some>kcal.

I will do it by:
  1. Drinking milk for breakfast. Just milk. If hungry, I will have oats or barley with it. No other breakfast allowed. 
  2. One roti per meal. 
  3. No drinking calories. No coffee/tea allowed. Only milk, green tea, water. 
  4. Fasting At least thrice every month. Ideally, twice every week. Monday and Thursday. 
  5. Not eating crap. Now this is the most important part. Most of my calories don't come from meals. Nothing in between, unless it's weekend :)
  6. Not finishing food. My parents ingrained this habit of cleaning the plate in me. Now this is a good habit, but I have taken this to the next level. I just Have to clean up All the food, no matter how much. This has to stop.
  7. Exercising five days a week. What's the exercise? That's in other posts. 


If I can bring myself into this calorie range through these habits, great.

If I get a greater deficit than I am aiming for, I will add hot mugs of milk, as needed.

I will surely not get a lesser deficit than I aiming for. But if I do, that will be because the meals themselves are fatty. So I will try cooking them myself, or soaking out oil from them before eating.

So,

I weighed 116 kg on February 1.

I should weigh 109-111 kg on July 1.

Why didn't I track the weight for every month, and just jumped to July 1? Cause I will be travelling for four months, and I won't have any access to weighing machines etc. How will I stay on track in these months? Basically, just by doing the first six steps.
