Contrary to popular belief the only way to lose weight is by sweating through every piece of clothing you own the safest way to lose weight is by making simple and healthy changes in your daily routine. These changes will eventually pave the way to a fitter future and not just help you conquer a short-term weight loss goal. 22-year-old Yash Hegde quips, weight loss is not a temporary process. It is a whole new lifestyle that you will have to adapt to a lifestyle that will prevent you from falling back into your old patterns.

It was that day when I decided to do something about it it was the day I decided to be Just The Funny Guy Of My Class (minus the fat part).
