Mission Accomplish !

So , 2012 is coming to an end in a couple of days ! Pheew , what a hectic year indeed !
My main goal for 2012 was weight loss , and im proud to say , after all those hours spent running and exercising , after all those moments of controlling the temptations to eat all those food and drinks , I've made it !
Seeing my old pictures , I sometimes get amazed with the wonder of the human body . How we can change from one size to another !
Willpower , dedication and self control . This 3 along with a pair of good running shoes helped me throughout my weight loss journey !
Now , let me welcome 2013 by gaining some lean body mass , by getting bigger and stronger ! Nothing is impossible as long as we dont give up !
Below is my picture when I first started my plan ! Ignore those man boobs , and screw those idiots who said it was impossible to loose them ! ( Bench-press do help ;) )


God bless , Have a splendid new year and Merry Christmas !

Beginning of Something New

The feeling of fitting into clothes you never dream of fitting in is really amazing . I've gone from size XXL to size M . I could do pushups , pullups and other stuff that I could only dream of doing when I was overweight.
Im glad I didnt give up on the way . 

This past few weeks had been really hectic . I found a pic of myself taken last year November . I was about 125kg's that time .



I had modified my diet this few weeks to add more calories into my diet . Muscle growth was going on well , started observing less body fat and weight was also decreasing steadily . Current weight is 72kg with waist size of 32 inches . Targetting for 68kg with waist size of 29 inches . Hoping to see it by end of this year :)
Coming to the current progress :


I know the stretch mark looks horrible but as I understand , it will go off with time . Im really happy with the definition of the stomach . Abs , please come soon ;)










Trapezius and chest developing well :)






I shall update more in time to come when I start to see more better progress then now
Till then , have a good day and God bless :)

Burn The Fat !

It's been nearly a month since I last blogged . I had my ups and downs , the temptations to eat pizza and ice creams were haunting me nearly everyday , but I had to control it for a better tomorrow .
Being fat isn't bad , being taunted ridiculous fatty names are really bad . 
Coming to the progresses I made , I found this article about this DTP program that basically allows your body to drastically build muscle and burn fat at the same time for a period of 4-6 weeks . I undertook it and within 2 weeks I was getting very positive results .
I bought a 5lb(2.2kg) tub of Whey protein as my daily protein intake was less then 50gm's . It was really helpful as it helped to maintain the muscle mass and prevent muscle wasting during the training period .


















Week one of the prog was super tiring , had many bruises and sore spots on my hands , overcomed it by wearing some protectives when lifting .


















Going to the results , before I started , my back was flabby and my loose skin were a devastating sight to see . I could not believe the result after Week 2 into the prog . My only supplement was whey protein .














Stomach fat has reduce tremendously but excess skin from my 50kg loss has yet to adapt back . Next  mission , Abs by December :)
















Muscle definition was great , weight was still decreasing and muscle mass was increasing .


Trapezius was developing well , having a lil issue with the biceps .
Bought Lipo 6 Black Fat Burner , planning to start upon it next week to help me burn those fats on the back of my stomach and a bit on my belly .

Really happy with the progress , nothing is impossible , just dont give up . When ever your craving for chocolates or anything , just gulp down a glass of chilled water . 
Take care and till my next post :)

Fat Loss Journey

Life has been a real mess this past few months ! Exams after exams . Did not had time to got to the gym and my diet plan was all haywire .
Went back home on 19th of August , I weighed bout 82kg's that time . Mum stashed me up with lots of fattening Punjabi food while I was home . I did not forget my daily cardio when I was back home .
Still after nearly a month of vacation , I gained bout 8kg's . Mostly were water fat that was easy to loose .

My final weight when I came back to Chennai was 85.6kg's on 15th of September 2012 . My size 32 pants were getting a little tight to fit in . I had to go back to my old diet plan .

I consume oats with no sugar and a little bit of grapefruit immediately after I get up in the morning followed by a light cardio session in my room constituting of squats , sit up and a few sets of pushups . Not forgetting skipping ropes , one of the most helpful heart rate elevating exercises ever out there !
I had a banana for lunch , bout 3 glasses of green tea in between , and a few almonds in between .
Went to the gym , spent bout an hour or so . Came back and immediately had spinach with tofu and a cup of warm green tea .
I followed this schedule for 5 days and I lost 5 kg's in that short time frame . I dont recommend this diet plan for a long duration of time but the results were incredible


I think I have lost enough of weight since I started in December 2011 . All in together , I lost nearly 45kg's .
Gonna start with my weight trainings soon , will update more once I see some progress

Till then Take care and God bless =)

Weight Loss Journey

   I was always on the heavy side of the scale . Junk foods and soft drinks used to be my daily companion . I will eat chocolates whenever i felt hungry and I used to drink more soda's then water .




I used to hate running and exercising as I would end up gasping for air the moment I start ! My eating habit was totally wrong . Rice was my primary food choice alongside oily Chapati's every lunch and dinner daily . The desserts of ice cream with chocolate sauce wasn't helping either . All this lead to me being obese and unhealthy .

My weight when I was 17 , shot up to 100kg and I was still least bothered to do something about it .  My eating habit were still the same . I then went to India to further my studies when I was 18 and there , my eating habit became from bad to worse . I used to eat lots of Rice and Naan's daily . By December 2011 , I was at 120kg . I used to have difficulty breathing after doing basic exercises and I could not sleep properly at night and it lead to a lot of side effects !

I realized that I have wasted half my teenage life with my weight issue . People used to taunt me with names and it wasn't helping either . It was high time I did something with my weight !

I read lots of articles online regarding weight loss . There were this fruits diet , the water diet and the Atkins Diet . I , being a vegetarian , had a limited amount of protein source for my daily intake . It was quite confusing at first , but somehow I tried .







 


 I bought a good pair of running shoes , gathered some willpower and started dieting on 1st January 2012 .

My diet included :
 No rice
 No sugar
 No chocolates
 No soft drinks
 No junk food
 No carbohydrates rich food

 5-6 glasses Green tea daily
 3-4 litres of water daily
 Incorporated fruits such as watermelons , apples and mangoes in my diet 
 Replaced normal bread with whole wheat bread
 Took fruit juices without sugar 
 Ate my green vegetables

I made it a habit to go to the gym 6 times a week , I spent 30 minutes doing cardio with aerobics and 1 hour doing weight and resistance exercises .
After a few weeks , I could already see drastic changes . I could sleep properly at night , my breathing improved , my waistline and weight went down and I felt healthier then ever .

Beginning weight , December 2011 :  120kg
                            January 2012     :  107kg
                            February 2012   :  100 kg
                            March 2012       :  88kg
                            April 2012         :  80 kg

My waistline went down from 50 inches to 36 inches . I could fit into clothes that I could never wear in the past , it felt really good .




It was not an easy journey , alot of temptations came into my way all along !
I still have a long way to go , for now Im concentrating on muscle building as after loosing alot of weight in a short time frame , my skin elasticity is yet to adapt back !



A little bit of hardwork and dedication surely helps :)
I guess thats all for now , Happy reading and God bless !!
