Vibhor tell us that his tryst with fitness began after his friends tried to convince him to lose weight. A few of them gave up as well! The thing was, I never actually felt like I needed to lose weight until I saw the weighing scale flash 125 kgs! This three-digit number made me realise that I better get started soon as this is not going to be an easy ride.

Shortly after this awakening, I started playing badminton not to lose weight per se but to master the game 4-5 hours everyday. After a month, one of my friends suggested that I should check my weight now, and so I did, I had dropped 6 kgs! This is when inspiration really kicked in and led me to make the below changes in my lifestyle to lose weight in a sustainable manner."

1. I started running 4 kms everyday

2. I completely and totally restricted myself from eating any kind of junk food, aerated drinks (5 years now), Pastas, Pizzas, etc. and also started calculating my calorie intake to create a calorie deficit.
