Govind, who was normally a very active and energetic person, had noticed a sudden drop in energy levels and increase in weight during the COVID phase. Since then, he was concerned about his health.

He got his blood tests done to verify his parameters. His tests revealed that he had a low hemoglobin level of 6.5 and his weight was 70 kg which was surprising for him since he had gained considerable amount of weight. He went to the doctor, who prescribed iron tablets and suggested he maintain a healthy lifestyle.

"When I asked my doctor for advice on how to lose weight and what kind of diet I should eat to boost my hemoglobin levels, without providing any explanation, the doctor just advised me to exercise, get enough sleep, and eat well."

Govind claims that despite following the doctor's advice and eating well, he did not notice any drastic changes in his health but only ended up with an upset stomach due to iron medication from the pharmacy.

In the meantime, he connected with a WQ coach, through a friend, who helped him understand the root cause of his problems.

Govind changed his lifestyle and began following the advice of his coach wherein he learnt the principles of healthy eating through guided exercise, portion control, and organic nutritional supplements that were easy to absorb, and he tolerated it well without any digestive issues.

Govind started to feel better and is more active after working with his coach for a month.

“I gradually lost 8 kg weight and my hemoglobin count increased to 13.5 from 6.5, which helped me feel more energetic. I can say after 4 months that, right now I am at my best. Thanks to my coach and the WQ community," declares Govind.

Fortunately, I met with my WQ coach who helped me lose some weight and have a healthy pregnancy, a normal delivery and a healthy baby.

But now she wanted to lose the post-pregnancy weight and also the back pain and sciatica pain that she developed during pregnancy.

It was not just being overweight, but a host of other issues like gastric problems, acidity, depression, UTI, and frequent fever!

"I saw my friend posting her 20+ kg post-pregnancy weight loss transformation", recalls Rashmi. "And my first thought was can I do it as well?"

With a little hope and a little skepticism, she decided to approach a WQ coach.

A sedentary lifestyle, postponing the decision to exercise to the next day, eating empty calories just because it was convenient - all this had become an integral part of her life!

But this time, she decided to listen to her WQ coach and follow her guidance.

Was the journey easy? "Far from it", says Rashmi.

There were many health challenges - cravings, bloating, acidity, mood swings, and short temper...

But her coach guided her to focus on one step at a time.

Even when it was difficult to focus on weekly tracking due to her busy work schedules, she could take some time out at night and do what was necessary.

Making physical activity a part of her daily life routine was the most difficult for her, and that stands as her biggest accomplishment now!

"I'm proud of my 13 kg healthy weight loss in 4 months", says an excited Rashmi.

She's lighter, healthier, happier and no more a victim of her headaches, body pain, cramps or mood swings. Her sleep quality has improved as well!

Previous experiences of yoyoing between losing and gaining weight made Vijay skeptical about any health program.

However, one thing was very clear. He wanted a program that he could follow for life. And he wanted to lose weight in a healthy way.

"The need to lose weight was always on my mind", recalls Vijay. "Being a foodie along with a sedentary lifestyle and work-related stress, I always had extra weight on me!"

Vijay knew that he needed to take care of his health and lifestyle but wasn't sure how to go about it. But when he met his WQ coach, he found his answer.

He enrolled in the health transformation program and started working with his coach. He learnt the right way to eat as per his body's needs.

"If it was exercise alone, I could not have done it!" says Vijay. But with a focus on a combination of the 6 pillars of health, regular tracking and his commitment, he finally started seeing results.

Within a span of 3 months, Vijay not only lost 13 kg but also experienced a significant improvement in his energy levels. His BP medication reduced from 60 mg to 20 mg and he is hoping to stop it completely soon.

"Motherhood is the best phase for any woman, and that was exactly the same for me as well", says Subasri.

But after her second pregnancy, she gained a lot of weight. And the fear of not being able to lose that weight prompted her to contact a WQ coach for help.

After her 1st pregnancy, Subasri tried to lose weight on her own. But that led to digestive issues and later, her weight came back too.

So this time she was looking at a holistic approach that focuses on health rather than weight loss only!

"My biggest concern was that with two kids and household chores, I hardly had any time or energy for myself by end of the day!", she says.

When she started to follow the program suggested by her coach, she was happy to see that it was completely doable with her hectic lifestyle.

In the next 2.5 months, she lost 11 kg. Along with that her digestion and skin also improved.

"There is no better joy than becoming a healthier mother and an example for my own kids", says an excited Subasri. "The icing on the cake is that now I can fit into my old dresses which I thought I could never wear".

Anuradha is a pharmacy professional from Hyderabad. Her weight was a little on the higher side right from her college days.

"I was happy to start my job in the industry. But long travel to the office, canteen food, sitting job profile, stressful work and lack of physical activity slowly started taking a toll on my health" Says Anuradha.

Her weight started increasing slowly without her even realizing it. "There was no routine for me, forget about healthy habits." recalls Anuradha about her job days.

Then came the good news of pregnancy but the reduced physical activity after the C-section resulted in gaining more weight. By the time she resumed her professional career after her pregnancy, she was at 77 kg!

Issues like low energy, lethargy, and irregular menstrual cycle became part of her life. She knew that she had to improve her health but was not sure what to do with no time in hand.

Luckily, she saw her college friend posting about the WQ community. Looking at the results of so many people, she jumped onto her phone and connected with her friend.

At 87 kg, he had tried many things to lose weight. But he was looking for the right guidance which could help him maintain a sustainable weight, something that he received via his WQ coach who was also his college friend.

If his coach asked him to change something, he would just do it.

After 3 months and losing 13 kg, he is now working on building muscles.

"I want to continue where most people stop", says Arpit proudly. "Having lost more than 6 inches on my waist and over 4 inches around hips and chest, I underwent a serious transformation!".
