When I came to Qatar I put on so much of weight my friends started calling me a blimp. My waist size went up to 36. With lots of hard work and determination I was successful in bringing it back to 33. This is what I did:
1. I walked 10 KM everyday, I still do. It takes 2 hours on the Corniche. Instead of seeing it as an exercise I enjoy the walk. I have added 2 friends now. They come in turns, but I do it religiously every day.
2. Started working out slightly. Now progressed to moderate workout.
3. I eat whatever I want, but in moderation. I try and avoid going to food courts as it is a huge temptation. I made it a habit to eat a salad for dinner.
I think determination is the key. You have to realize that there is really no shortcut. You eat less and work more. That's the only thing that works.
I am not a female, so it is an unsolicited reply.
