Disclaimer: the amount of cuties and hotties in this post may give you a heart attack. Not even kidding.
Weight loss is never easy – regardless of what the cause behind weight gain is, it is always difficult for a person to deal with this discouraging issue.
One might face low self-esteem, while others may face inauspicious statements from our society – where men are perfect when they have a “muscular body built” and women are perfect when they are “fair and slim.”

ANYWAYS, THIS ISN’T THE POINT
Contrary to the popular belief, which is the imposition of our society to reduce weight for better “rishtas”, there are many people who go through the entire process of weight loss for their own benefit. Now this is exactly what the reason should be – YOUR mental satisfaction.
Being more than the required BMI of a particular age and height of an individual is not just a weight problem, but may also lead to a number of health issues at early or later years.
After losing weight, a number of people (including myself) experienced a change in lifestyle. From removing/reducing junk food to regular cardio, the benefits of losing weight cannot be explained in words – it is a feeling that can only be witnessed.
Having all of this said, here are some Pakistanis who prove how weight loss can change the entire appearance and lifestyle of someone:
Osama Bin Liaqat Mir

While Osama may call himself an expert in surgical strikes (refer to his Twitter account), he is definitely a treat to watch, especially after his weight loss. *wink*

Azmar’s transformation has inspired a number of people on social media. Given he had asthma, Azmar has been working out from the past 5 years and we wish he would never stop…

Yep, coming from someone who experienced weight loss herself, I know for a fact that when you put your mind in something you are passionate about, nothing can stop you.

Now hit that gym and get in some shape – not because you want to please the society, but because it will give you the peace of mind you have yet to experience.

More power to you!
