15 kgs, 4 months.. Welcome to the ATB BB Series!

Yes, you read that right.. I lost 15 kgs in 4 months. You wanna know how? Read on...



2012 was the year when a lot of people took charge of their fitness routines. You can read some wonderful posts on fitness on Coralista, Indian vanity case & Wise she.

I was no exception. Only I didn't want to write about it until I experienced substantial change. Call me superstitious, but I definitely didn't want to "nazar lago" my weight loss. God knows, I have struggled through various solutions with no results. I started my diet in September of '12 and it has been roughly 4 months, and I have lost 15 kgs.

This is me before:




and this is me now:

Sorry for the slightly blurry pic, I haven't had a chance to take a proper picture recently
Some of you must be curious about what I did. No, I didn't starve or turn anorexic. Nor did I become a gym rat.

It is difficult for me to encapsulate all what has happened in the last four months in one post. So this will be spread over a few posts, but I will candidly share all I know with you guys. Things that worked, and more importantly things that didn't work. Books I read, oh yes, I read a lot of books before I made changes. And some internet resources that you can use to keep on track.

 I'll be more than happy, if it helps even one of you. Hence this BB Series, where BB = Body Beautiful.

And no, I haven't reached my ideal weight yet. I'm still on my journey to a fit & healthy body. I hope that you will enjoy reading this series.

      Marriage is such a major life change, so many girls put on weight because of the stress. But don't worry, it'll come off. :)

      Thank you Sukanya! You must start the series yourself. You are right, it keeps one motivated, plus you never know how others may also benefit. I will definitely be sharing my tips over the next few weeks.

    Hi Tanveer,

    I am a regular at Addicted to blush, but never commented on any of your posts, actually though i am a make up freak never tried Blush but after seeing few posts bought a blush n never turned back after that, after that this post has really motivated me into taking things seriously.. I was chubby always but i never cared even when everyone started commenting(later worried but left it always after few months) but now Tanveer i am really inspired.. Thank u from bottom of my heart...

      BTW Just read your post on lessons from twenties.. It was such a good read..
      I've just turned 26 and only now have I started to experiment with makeup. I used to feel conscious that there are so many younger girls who know a lot more than I do, but now after reading your post I feel more confident :)
      You're right about the fact that people will always have something to say..
      just don't care as long as you feel right..
