Hello everyone,

 

My name is Kushal, I am 24 years old and I live in Mumbai. I have been an unhealthy person for the better part of the last decade due to my own personal habits along with certain health conditions. In my early teenage years, I was a healthy individual. However, I started to gain a lot of weight on account of a steroid medication for my Asthma. It had a side effect of weight gain, something which my family doctor forgot to mention earlier. As I said, my own personal habits didn't help with losing weight either. I have been a couch potato who tends to either sit watch TV, play some games on my desktop or read a book at home. Two years ago, I got diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. My new doctor was very helpful in getting me to walk again, after movement restriction of about three months. My knees have become a major issue. However, around August of 2013, I decided to stop ignoring my weight and unhealthy lifestyle and I decided to join a local gym. This was the same place wherein I had lost ~15 kilograms a few years ago. I thought to myself, history in this case can be repeated twice without much effort. However, life had a different set of events in store for me. In November, I got diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. Though it is at Stage 1 at present, the tests are pretty much a see-saw ride. One day it is sunshine, while the other it is rainy. As of 25th May, I stand at ~100 kilograms. I feel unhealthy, look obese and am not enjoying my life. I understand the third part is a bit vague and subjective, but what I mean to say is that at the prime of my youth, I am as unhealthy as some of old people I see daily. I want to change that and I need directions for the same. 

 

Looking forward to getting myself back and to meet new people along with way.

 

Warm Regards,

Kushal

Hi Chriss,

 

Given my current health condition, I want to lose body fat. I'm the guy who looks like a pear from a distance. Though I don't eat much, in fact less than those of my age, I have very heavy thighs and waist. That combined with my medicinal steroids which have a side effect of weight gain, just adds to my difficulty at keeping my weight in check. 

 

Is there a regime, to begin with, which would be light on my body, but would get in the right direction? I hope I am not sounding too vague.
