“My renewed level of fitness is the most amazing thing that I have accomplished in the recent past,” says Arupa Subudhi from Bhubaneswar on her healthy weight loss of 10 kilos in flat 2 months. She adds, “It is a satisfying feeling to see weight that had practically stagnated at 65 kilos, for almost 7 years after the birth of my son, literally dissolve away. I haven’t had a rebound for months now and that is a comforting fact as it gives me confidence I can look forward to retain my new fitness levels for years to come.”

Postpartum weight retention is one of the toughest challenges to overcome for women owing to relatively slower metabolism.

She says, “I had accepted the postpartum weight gain as normal just like majority women do. It was sort of a new normal that I thought I will learn to cope up with.”

“Things took a turn when in a routine medical checkup a couple of years ago, my thyroid was pronounced under active – the T.S.H. level was at approximately 8 mIU/L. I used to have serious bouts of back pain that used to last for days together. Digestive issues, chronic acidity and few other symptoms related to hormonal imbalance marred my day to day life. I used to get often bogged down by persistent episodes of migraine. I was really concerned but was clueless about how to approach my health recovery.” – Arupa recollects difficulties she had to endure due to her overweight condition.

“The holistic approach of #HealthySpan has really made a stark difference. The stubborn fat is gone and gone are the health issues I used to dread so much – my current weight at 55 kilos is akin to a miracle. I feel great when I get complimented by my friends, relatives and especially by my husband for my remarkably elevated health and fitness levels.” Arupa sums it up gratefully.
