Weight gaining and losing is part of life.

That’s right! weight loss is a never ending journey. There are multiple point of times in your life when you put on weight.  Post wedding, post baby delivery, thyroid issues, many of us have sweet tooth and love for eating outside. So this is a never ending occurrence. There are many ladies out there behind the laptops and computers seeking best possible ways to lose weight. They all end up with websites that either highlights being fitness freak and dig into protein foods and make you lean & fit or ends up with different varieties of diet plans. Let’s say GM, Dukan, Low Carb or high protein etc; a never ending list of sites and diets.

Though we decide and are successful to an extent in kicking off the diet but after a week or so when you see its aint working. You are bogged down then chuck out all these crappy diets. I know this happens a lot because it happened to me. Weight Management has become real important factor to our generation. Why not?? With the skinny jeans, pencil dresses, high heels in the market one seeks for the best figure of her lifetime.  

I have lost good number of pounds and yet to go till I am in my safe zone. My family and friends are pretty astonished. Honestly, So am I. In this post I want to share my experience of weight gain & loss then gaining again and losing again. That’s right! You learn from your mistakes. So did I! I learned many things over the time of 8 months in my weight loss tips and trials. Gradually is what I understood is that basic foundation for weight management is “Healthy Lifestyle”. You need to change your lifestyle in order to look good and stay fit. It’s not about dieting or running miles on the treadmill. If that was all then you should have seen great results from your work out. There has to be something wrong with it.

These are the pictures from May & June 2011, while I weighed maximum till date. Reasons are the same got married, cooked delicious recipes and gained 20 pounds. Post June 2011, I decided to get back to shape. Though I was active, playing tennis, hiking, swimming, I was still that fat. I guess I was eating more than what my body needed. It takes time to realize that. Eventually I did!

 I was unhappy and in the rush of getting back to shape I opted for quick results 2months extreme work out DVD called “Insanity”. It was insane I guess it justified itself because I could see results in 15 days. Below are the pictures from the month of September 2011, when I lost nearly 11 pounds in 15 days. Not bad huh? But later it got worse.

I exerted my knees and paid for my ignorance that I became a victim of extreme “inflammation” in my knees. This time my body was called off for 2months bed rest; 2months extended to 3 and I regained those lost pounds and this is what I looked like from October to December 2011. I did not go out anywhere so I don’t have much of pictures from this period.

Late Dec 2011, I decided to get back to shape but this time it was going to be healthy. I was careful in what I was eating and reducing my portions too. This came as an advice from one of my beautiful friends who managed to get perfect figure in 6months. Slow and steady does work I agreed to it. This is my latest pic where I lost 12 pounds in total and absolutely no workout. However, this week I have started yoga; it relaxes my back pain too.
