Are you looking for motivation?
By Leila Marimuthui've lost 42kgs in the last two years. purely through making responsible decisions about food and getting an interest in exercise!
in may 2001, i hit the point where i needed to make a decision on where i wanted my weight and fitness to be. i weighed 98kg (at 5'2") and was a size 18, soon to be a size 20.
it was from then, that i made small changes to the way i ate and they amount of activity/movement i did. my exercise entailed walking, stationary bike and aerobics videos in the early days, venturing into more high intensity activities like step aerobics, weight-training (great for toning and a must do for any fat burner diet!), squash, basketball and some not as high intensity like yoga.
now, i train in muay thai (thai kickboxing) about 3 times a week and train on weights about 5 days a week with the odd run thrown in here and there. i've drastically reduced my body fat and have a lot more lean muscle now which makes most guys take a step back when i give them a flex ;)
being small in stature as well as size, now means that i need to train a lot more in speed, footwork and ring-craft so i can hold my own against taller opponents or those with long limbs!
i?ve also reduced my dress size from a size 18/20 to my current size 6/8 and now weigh 58kg!
you can check out a review on me here after i began competing in the national all styles (australia):
