Where do we start?

The question that we first ask ourselves when doing something totally new like this is where do we start? Ok , so we have issues. You might want that killer butt and lose that belly fat. Now belly fat especially is a problem issue. Why is it an issue? Because we eat way too much of fat everyday. The first step towards losing weight is being aware of what it takes. You are most likely consuming much more than you burn. For example, look at the fried foods you eat. Fast foods like vadas/pongal with loads of ghee usually, haldirams (personal favourite),Lays, coconut in everything and lots of rice all adds up the calories. Ever wondered why its so hard? its because of what you eat. So the first step is to be aware of how many calories goes into everything. Keep an account of what you are eating. So why not have 2 chappatis with dal and a mixed berry milkshake for dinner?
Think about it. Its much better than eating out. And remember this will also cut down the sodium that you are consuming. Getting fit is not about losing weight. Its about changing your lifestyle to become more healthy. This is a link talking about how much every entree can contain - calories and sodium much much more than a day's worth and its so hard burning it off.
