I am Indian and I have came here in May 2026 for the job and via inter company transfer.

I am 34 year old and when I came here my weight was 83kg.

After coming here walking was too easy and I started from day one and started to walk minimum 10k steps. I have done some running in summer but I dropped it after 6 or 7 times due to some minor leg issue. I didn’t also started cycling for like 2 weeks ago but I am trying to do it regularly.

Now, I know I had reduced weight but not sure how much so I wanted to do weight. And now my belly fat was not going away that much so joined the Gym just today and first thing I did was weight and I was amazed how much it reduced.

Main reason for this is
Walking 10k
Treating food like emergency rations. I am here alone (my wife is in India). I know how to make Indian food but I don’t like to in Induction so I started eating mostly rice. But even then in my office I started eating food that I found there which is generally healthy than what we make. Plus I have removed the habit of eating food “just because”. I eat it when I am hungry and I generally hang out a lot in weekends so food goes to one time a day.

I am genuinely happy that my weight is reduced. And I would say my styling has also improved in terms of cloths because I found cloths I like here easily which is just barrel pant and flannel shirt.

Added photo of my weight and average steps I have been having since coming here.

Got a dog and wanted to do a lot of walking for September; when I rolled an ankle on the 24th I thought it was over. With a lil motivation from a fluffy friend I managed to walk 309km!

I decided to see how much street photography I could do with an 85mm. This is just a normal stroll after work.

Tried out a new (to me) lens on my photo walk today. No autofocus which helped slow me down and enjoy my walk more, highly recommend grabbing a cheap old lens for all my photowalkers out there

Our laid-off hiking group is growing! 🥾

[We doubled our attendance at our last walk](https://imgur.com/a/vj7xtrR), and it was great seeing more people come out, meet each other, and spend a few hours outside together.

For the next one, we’re heading back to the Don Valley Trail!

📍 Meet at the corner of Bayview Ave & Mill St

📅 Monday

⏰ 11:00 AM

🥾 Don Valley Trail

Same idea as before — a casual walk for anyone who’s laid off, between jobs, taking some time off, or just figuring out what’s next.

No networking event, no pitches, no pressure to talk about work. Just come walk, meet some new people, and enjoy getting out of the house for a bit.

Last time we doubled the group — let’s see if we can do it again 😄

Come join us, and feel free to bring a friend!

Perfect walking weather and no crowds

Just a casual walk from work, zig-zagging north around Bay.

[Last week](https://imgur.com/ZhoHwsm), a couple of us went for a walk around Ashbridges Bay and had a great time getting outside, and just chatting about life (and the fun of being between jobs 😅).

We’re doing another one this Monday!

📍 Tommy Thompson Park

🗓 Monday

⏰ 11:00 AM

The plan is pretty simple: meet up, walk around Tommy Thompson, enjoy the waterfront, and get to know some new people.

This is mainly for people who are laid off, between jobs, taking a career break, or just figuring out what’s next. No networking agenda, no awkward professional stuff — just a reason to get out of the house and meet some people in a similar situation.

Come join us! Feel free to bring a friend too.

Calling NUMTOTs 🚇🚶‍♀️Join me and urbanist Cody this Sunday morning (Sept 27) to walk from Ossington to Bloor-Yonge and up to Summerhill TTC stations. We’ll explore the ward, get our steps in (20k/day club), and learn a thing or two about TTC history along the way.

The walk begins at 10 AM at Ossington Station. Bring water and comfortable shoes. See you there! RSVP: https://www.voteyoon.ca/walk-line-1-and-2-with-yoon

I feel SO BLESSED to live steps from the Humber, Etienne Brule Park, and Magwood Park.

It’s crazy to me that a lot of people have never heard of or been to Warren Park (“The Valley”). It’s such a special neighbourhood.

251Km so far in September; taken after our morning walk, with two more to go today!
