Transforming My Life: A Journey from 60Kgs to 45Kgs Through Healthy Habits

I am a two-time C-section delivery mother of two young kids, and I once weighed 60kgs. Today, I am proud to share that I have lost 15kgs and now stand at 45kgs. My journey towards better health and a healthier lifestyle began with a simple yet powerful realization: I needed to check my health and set goals accordingly. This article will share my weight loss journey, the motivation behind it, and the strategies I followed to achieve my goals.

Initial Health Check and Goals

My first step was to conduct a comprehensive health checkup. I had my Body Mass Index (BMI), Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), and overall body muscle strength checked. I found that my BMR was very high, which meant that I could lose weight more quickly. BMR essentially refers to the number of calories you burn while at rest. The higher your BMR, the more calories you burn. This information was crucial as it provided a solid foundation for my weight loss journey.

Healthy Habits and Motivation

Instead of heading to the gym, I focused on engaging in various sports such as pickleball, tennis, football, and volleyball. These activities not only helped me burn calories but also provided me with a sense of fun and achievement. My goal was not just to lose weight, but to maintain a healthy lifestyle that would also contribute to the well-being of my family. My old clothes, which I hardly wore, were my biggest motivators. They were a constant reminder of the progress I had made and a symbol of the new life I was embracing.

My daily routine includes a unique breakfast menu that is both nutritious and tasty. I start my day with a mixture of carrot, beetroot, cucumber, tomato, lemon, and honey juice. Followed by having a glass of warm water with 1.5 tablespoons of honey. For lunch, I opt for sprouts, and for a small afternoon snack, I have either a sesame laddu or a dry fruits laddu. In the evening, I ensure that my dinner is complete by 7 PM. By following these simple but effective habits, I have managed to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle.

Support System and Community

Staying motivated involves more than just personal determination. Building a support system is crucial. I followed the advice of SandhGuru and Manthena Santyanarayana on YouTube, which provided me with guided tips and inspiration. Additionally, I find comfort in connecting with others who share similar goals. Joining a community of people who are on a similar journey can provide valuable support and motivation.

High-Intensity Activities and Consistency

To achieve and maintain a weight loss goal, incorporating high-intensity activities into your regular exercise routine can be highly effective. For example, you can alternate between brisk walking and running for five minutes at a time. This strategy helps burn more calories and keeps the exercise session engaging. Other effective options include Zumba aerobics and swimming, both of which can contribute to rapid weight loss.

Accountability and Data Tracking

A new study emphasizes the importance of accountability in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The trick is not just to care about your progress but to share data such as calories consumed, minutes logged on the treadmill, and inches or pounds lost. This transparency and shared data help in holding yourself accountable, which is crucial for long-term success.
