17 Kgs of #HealthyWeightLoss and still counting!! From 94kgs down to 77kgs has meant a complete #HealthAndFitnessTurnaround for Christo Yohannan, who lives and works out of Kraków, Poland.

“This hasn’t been anything short of a stunning accomplishment.” Christo says. Being a software engineer from an institution of repute, a professional with 15 years of IT industry experience working for a top IT firm, health wasn’t among topmost of priorities for him – he took things for granted for a long time, when it came to health.

“I remember I was always called a ‘fat guy’; you know, sort of colloquial nicknames you begin being bestowed upon lovingly by fellow students; of course I was fat – I weighed 90 kgs when I joined my engineering institution 19 years back,” recalls Christo.

“A decade and half in the IT industry, slowly yet surely takes a toll – the inseparable stress of delivery deadlines, the day-to-day pressure etc. that nudges you to deprioritize almost everything that keeps you in #GoodHealth – you simply cannot get away from these. Late-night working hours, conference calls at odd times, irregular eating habits – these factors compound over a period of time. I was putting on weight and keeping it, pounds of it – there seemed no end to my ordeal. A #SedentaryLifestyle with almost nil #PhysicalActivity added on to the burden.” Christo recollects.

“I did work on reducing my weight many times, practically starving myself and I remember getting it down to 72 kgs, however once I got back to normal routine the weight returned with lightning speed,” mentions Christo. “I am thankful that my weight never hit a century  .” He adds.

During a recent trip he had a fall during skiing; post ACL reconstruction surgery doctors recommended him to lose weight for faster recovery. For each kg of body weight loss, there was supposedly a 4 kg reduction in knee joint stress. Getting rid of the extra pounds had become a necessity.

“The scientific and holistic approach to wellness of #HealthySpan has been quite helpful. The testimonials are really convincing. The current COVID situation and increased need for immunity and, getting fitter, I decided this was the time to start,” he says recalling his desperation to lose unwanted body weight.

“Through the recommended personalized lifestyle changes, exercise, nutrition & diet provided by #HealthySpan – I lost 17kgs in less than 5 months’ time; if you don’t make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness. I feel fitter and healthier than ever before in my life.” He gratefully adds.
