Wellness is a journey, not a destination

They say wellness is a journey, not a destination.

Veera Subramanian would swear by it.

Veera was a cricketer during his college days, super fit and weighing 56 kgs. As an athlete who took care of his body, Veera loved to dress up and take selfies.

But all of that changed when he injured his knee while playing. In spite of being an athlete with access to medical facilities, he could not find a solution to his knee pain for 4 years!

"Those 4 years were extremely difficult", recalls Veera. He lost much of his stamina and gained a tremendous amount of weight. Dressing up was no longer enjoyable as it used to be.

The worst part was when he started losing his confidence in himself. "My waist size was 36 & shirt size XL, so I refused to buy ready-made clothes", he says.

His wife began to notice his lethargy while he was spending time with his family. Veera was in for one more shock when he got his lipid profile test done and found out that his cholesterol levels were too high.

He knew it was time to take a decision to lose weight.

Veera's wife introduced him to her coach in the Wellness Quotient community. With necessary guidance, he started his weight loss journey. His coach tracked his progress daily and monitored his eating patterns.

Slowly, but surely he began to see an improvement in his energy levels. He started feeling energetic at the end of the day even though he started his day at 5 am and ended at 11:30 pm!

He started to shed his weight, too. "I started at 79.7 kgs and lost 17 kgs in just 6 months", says an excited Veera. His cholesterol levels have improved significantly.

Veera remarks, "My old clothes are unusable now. My waist size has dropped to 32 and my shirt size is back to 'M' ". That is a good problem to have.

But Veera reminds us that wellness is a journey when he declares, "I am excited to drop another 5 kgs and get back my athletic physique". And he is confident about it since he has Wellness Quotient alongside him

(Wellness Quotient proudly presents one of their WQ Champion Veera's journey as yet another hope for many out there who want to achieve wellness but are uncertain if they can too!)
