Karan believes that you cannot always be motivated, so it is very important to always have a solid reason behind doing things. And I had a strong reason. My weight loss journey It was me vs. me.

Apart from this, I motivated myself by participating in online challenges / transformation challenges organized through FITTR. It really helps me stay on track with my routine. Clicking my own pictures and taking body measurements regularly helps me track my progress.

What lifestyle changes did you make?

Karan tells that I wake up early and sleep on time. I follow the diet plan for food. Always carry a 2 liter water bottle with me while traveling outside home/office/gym. While losing weight, I realized that obesity is made up of water + muscle + fat. So the best way to lose it is to reduce fat while preserving muscle with strength training and nutrition.

What have you learned from your weight loss journey?

I know that hard times don’t last, but a strong person always does. My parents have always taught me to fight against all odds. So whenever I face any challenge, I remember all the teachings of my parents and work hard to come out of it. Also I am able to help others in their weight loss journey today, thanks to the entire FITTR team, Jitendra Chokse and my coach Anjali Singh.
