Occupation: IT Professional

Age: 35 yearsCity: Pune

Highest weight recorded: 90 kgsCurrent weight: 73 kgsHeight: 5 feet 11 inches

Morning: I begin my day with a glass of lukewarm water and 8 almonds.

My Breakfast: Four eggs boiled eggs

My Lunch: Two chapatis, a portion of green vegetables, 1 bowl of curd and 1 bowl of dal.

Evening: 1 cup of green tea

My Dinner: I keep switching between salad and grilled paneer and cauliflower. I did not consume any food containing carbohydrates for six months and only ate proteins and vegetables for dinner.I indulge in: I made it a point to not eat any junk food like pizza, burger, chaats etc even on my cheat days.

Pre-workout Meal: I have a banana at least 30 minutes before working outMy Workout: Initially, for the first two months, I did a lot of cardio combined with High-Intensity Intervals Training (HIIT) for 6 days a week. I gained my stamina by doing cardio and HIIT and lost a considerable amount of fat.

After two months, I increased my duration of weight training. As my goal was to decrease my fat level and increase my muscle mass, I focused more on compound exercises like squats, military press, dead-lifts and chin-ups.

Post-workout Meal: Protein shakeLow-calorie recipe I swear by: Scrambled eggs with cheese and roasted cauliflower

Fitness secrets I unveiled :1) Eliminate sugar and refined flour (maida) from your diet2) Strictly count your calories3) There is no substitute for working outThe turning point: If you dont like your reflection in the mirror due to any reason, then its time to take control of your own body. While I wasn't really bothered by the rude comments or the incessant body-shaming, I really felt ashamed of my own reflection staring right back at me in the mirror.

It was also quite frustrating when I could no longer fit into the clothes of my choice in the wardrobe! I realized that I had to take the matter in my hands before it went beyond my control. That was the time I decided to work on my body and get it back on track. I will admit that it wasn't easy, but it was certainly worth it. Now when I look into the mirror, I feel really happy and proud of myself.

How do I stay motivated? I make it a point to read motivational quotes to keep myself on the path of fitness.

How do you ensure you don't lose focus? I am really scared of gaining back all the weight I have lost.What's the most difficult part of being overweight? It was really annoying when I could see my stomach bulging out with every passing day and I used to feel lethargic all the time.What shape do you see yourself 10 years down the line? After ten years, I want to remain fit and have a lean and muscular physique and be able to run 5 kilometres non-stop.
