Hi friends, I want to share some good experience with you. It's about losing weight. I was over weight till a few weeks ago. But, I am losing my weight now. My tummy got more tighter and I am more confident. I have more energy now. The secret is "WALKING". Yes, just walking.. I am from UAE and it is impossible to go out for a walk particularly in summer. The heat is unbearable. But, my weight was creating a problem. I cannot walk to the nearby grocery store. I brought a treadmill few months back (start of the summer) I used it only once or twice then. I totally ignored it after that due to hectic life style and moreover laziness. But, later found that my weight was getting out of control. my pants dont fit. My confidence lost. etc etc. I could not spend quality time with my wife and kid. i felt like sleeping as soon as i returned from office. I thought it is high time and that I should change my lifestyle atleast for the sake of my family. I started walking again on treadmill, now with new hope. I started with 3km/hour, 4 and now 5km/hour. And becasue my treadmill is fully automatic, I have to move along with the speed. first day, I walked for about half an hour. I felt a difference on my stomach. It felt tighter but still the effect was not visible. From that day, I walk for 1 hour daily and I am proud to say that I lost my weight and all the fat from my tummy area and look slimmer than 3 weeks back. I feel more confident in office. I have more energy to play with my child. One important thing to those who really want to lose weight. if you are the kind of person who dont like exercise, then brisk walking the the best way. Get a treadmill, walk regularly for half an hour to 1 hour. And watch urself becoming slim. I am true to every word. i know the problems faced by obese people. People with health concerns, please do it only after consulting ur doctor. All the best and have a healthy and happy life.

Hi, I read the narration and want one clarification on that, i.e., only walking is enough to reduce the flab or even diet should be controlled.

when you start walking, you tend to eat less food. its all automatic. the more active you are and the more you brisk walk, the tendency to eat becomes less. earlier i used to eat more . now after starting the brisk walk, my appetite reduced and i eat less and i feel full. i also try to eat only healthy food. but i have seen that whatever i eat, the quantity reduced a lot. It is good to have a good balanced diet for overall effect. take care.
