Do you know of anyone who was obese and lost weight drastically with exercise n diet

Re: Do you know of anyone who was obese and lost weight drastically with exercise n d

My husband's coworker lost around 40 lbs in 3 months. He was apparently on a (veg and fruit) juice diet and played volley ball almost every day as exercise. I did see him before and after the weight loss. He is still overweight but keeping up the same diet and routine so he hopes to reduce more. I don't know how healthy this is... He is single and his parents started looking for alliances so that was his motivation.

My former coworker turned from almost-obese into movie-star-fit in about a year. I didn't know him much and so don't know any details.

Another: I found an old friend on facebook - showing off his muscles in his profile pics.. he used to be very heavy.

To quote live examples, i have seen Shvap_786 , shivachoubey, PMan16, who have lost 20+ kgs and have come to size where i would call them curvy.

I have lost 20 kgs(+ 7kgs that i put due to some health recurrent issues)

i was a xxxl for a long time, today i am L.. and there are many more who have lost that and more in il itself.

i have lots of health issues, and do not gym or use a dietician.. i lost this weight through sheer committment,consistency and control.. that does not mean i have been fasting or deiting..i have been eating sensibly understanding my body.. i have just been walking.. I cannot eat lots of vegetables like pumpkin, gourds, beans, anything high in protein, too much calcium..yet i could manage...and i still have a few kgs to lose and will do it.. i am not looking for miracles or instant weight loss, i am working the long route, so that i can stay the same..

during the process, i have got a better stamina, a little more confidence, lots of compliments, a change in attitude..

i have been motivated seeing people like me who have lost weight.

do join a thread which is real comfy for you and start..

Dear Ramyasri,
you in this world everyone can achieve their goal if they want to and i know that you can achieve yours too by just doing simple exercises and changing your diet a bit.
All you need to do is boost your confidence level and you will be able to do it as Shanvy said here in IL itself there are many ILites who have lost weight.
you need to start your day with a positive note and be positive the whole day and don't say some day i will reach........ no, say i am going to reach my goal by next year and keep that intention, and you will be able to do it.
PLease tell us what is your food intake and what exercises do you do. can you start with simple brisk walking for only 10mins?
love
alpa:cheers

Hi All,
I am here as example. I became highly obese after delivery and started having asthma issues due to obesity. After 2 years of struggling, my dr told me clearly that unless i start loosing weight my medications will not work. After a hospitalisation last diwali time, i started my diet plan. I am working and with a 6 yr old and have active social life too :-(work related travel and parties, and hubby's business dinners. Starting Oct 26th 2011, I have been on strict diet and only diet not exercise as it was not possible due to health issues. and in Apr 2012 i had lost 22 kgs.
This is a sample diet i followed.
coffee with sugar free in morning, 2 idlies with sambhar or green chutney and a fruit for breakfast
at 11 or so i used to take a cup of sundal and buttermilk or tea. for lunch its exactly just a cup of rice with sambhar , veg and keerai. 4 or 5 i used to take some fruit , madhulai or apple .
dinner is usually 2 chappati's (multi grain atta) wth some curry.
things i had avoided - no deep frying, no kilangu vagai, no sweets, icecream.
non veg just weekly once that too only skinless chicken or fish kulambu
when i go out for dinners i try to stay with salads , or idly or aappam , chappati

I used to be liberal on fruits and carrots and keerai. i stick to this for 6 months and i lost 20 kgs, now my dr is bit happy and have told i can start walking or rope exercise along with my diet. I am hoping to reduce 20 more kgs by end of the year.

We can do it , it took a life threatening situation for me to be adamant in my diet.
