Here is her weight loss story! Name: Mamta BajajOccupation: ArchitectAge: 36 years

The turning point: There was a point in my life when I knew I had hit the rock bottom. My weight had got out of my control and I felt really lethargic and exhausted all the time. Moreover, I wasnt really doing anything to get myself out of that situation. Ultimately, I grew so frustrated with my situation that I decided to completely change my lifestyle. I pushed and dragged myself to join a gym in June 2018. It was incredibly challenging as in the beginning it was impossible for me to even run for half a kilometre. However, I made it a point to work on my stamina and endurance every single day. Today, I am glad that I did not give up!
My breakfast: Boiled eggs, a cup of tea and 2 paranthas
My lunch:A bowl of dal and a portion of green vegetables
My dinner: A bowl of dal or soup, a portion of salad and boiled eggs
Pre-workout meal: 3 glasses of warm water
Post- workout meal: A cup of black coffee with a portion of peanuts
I indulge in: I have no fixed cheat days. I usually indulge in biryani and butter chicken. My workout: I make it a point to follow a balanced workout routine. So, I do weight training, cardio and functional training religiously.
Low-calorie recipes I swear by: I vouch on soups, salad, boiled eggs and boiled chicken. Fitness secrets I unveiled: When you are on a quest to lose weight, you are bound to hit a weight loss plateau sooner or later when your weight will refuse to budge. When the same thing happened to me, I completely stopped consuming salt and carbs. How do I stay motivated? Whether it was the loss of inches or the shifting of pointer on the weight scale, I could see that my hard work and determination was paying off. It also made me realise what I was really capable of!
