Monish's Weight Loss Story!

When did you become unhappy with your weight?

A year back after finishing my diploma, I became very unhappy with my weight.
​

What made you decide to lose weight?

All my friends teasing me was the main reason to decide to lose weight. I used to look ugly and had a lack of self confidence. I was not being active and not getting my desired type of clothes. Due to all these reasons, I decided to lose weight.
​

What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?

The most important thing is of course your DIET. You also have to change your daily routine. I didn't go out anywhere because I had to eat home made food. I also had to change my mind to decide to lose weight.
​

What was most challenging about losing weight?

Its not at all easy changing your diet suddenly and working out for almost 2 hours is very challenging. It would test my limit and will power. To quit eating fatty foods really tested me.
​

How long did it take you to start to see results?

It took about 6 days to show results.
​

How long did it take for you to reach your current weight?

It took 8 months to accomplish my goal.

​

How long have you maintained your weight loss and how do you do it?

7 months. Now my body is used to losing weight. So, luckily I can eat anything. Even if it crosses the limit I bring it back to normal by just running on the treadmill and sometimes it automatically comes back to normal.
​

How has your life changed now that you've lost weight?

It has changed a lot. Now I can wear anything I want. I can play sports. I can be active. I look good. My confidence is at its best. I can run. Its a very nice feeling.

Monish's Weight Loss Workouts!

Weight Training:

When I started with my weight loss, I started [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]weight [COLOR=blue! important]training[/color][/color][/color] also. But later I realized that weight training is less important for weight loss, in my opinion. But still it helps a bit. For about 5 months I did weight training along with cardio. I used to workout each part everyday. But after 5 months, I left it and concentrated only on cardio. I used to do weight training for about half an hour per workout.
​

Cardiovascular:

I used to do cardio exercise for about 1.5 hours per workout. Starting with running and walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes. Then cycling for 15 minutes. Then a push up cycle for 15 minutes. Stretching exercises which are very important for 15 minutes. I also took a steam bath every other day. I am not sure whether it helped my weight loss but I still had good results.
