An ordeal called weight loss

An Iranian lady at my Yoga class has desperately been trying to lose weight for the last couple of months. So, she walks before class, does a whole lot of Yoga in class and then walks after class too. Judging from how determined she seems to lose weight, I'm sure she's up to a lot more during the rest of the day too.

This morning she was particularly happy about something, noticing which we asked her what her source of joy was. It turned out that she had managed to lose a kg. On hearing this, a rather talkative lady drowned all the Iranian lady's joy in a second by mentioning that today's newspaper featured an article on Adnan Sami who has managed to reduce his weight from 200 kgs all the way down to a 100 odd kgs!!

Considering how difficult it has been for the Iranian lady to lose just a single kg., I can imagine what Adnan must have gone through to lose a 100 (!!) kgs.

An interesting account of Adnan's ordeal here.
