Hello everybody and welcome back to the show Game Changers. Thank you so much for being on our channel and thank you so much for being tuned on our channel. If you don't know, the Game Changers channel is all about people who have transformed their lives after joining the Dynaz Fitness community, who have gone on the health and fitness track, lost a lot of weight, regained their health back, and, you know, bring— brought the confidence and a lot of vitality in their lives. So, uh, today we have a special person, Joyce, We'd like to welcome you. Welcome so much, Joyce. Thank you so much for being on the show today. It's really an honor and privilege to have you on the show. How are you doing?

I'm doing good. And I'm healthier, happier than what I was a couple of years back. Thank you, Deepa.

So tell us, tell our viewers, which city are you from?

I'm from Pune.

You're from Pune. And when did you join the community?

I joined in Dussehra, mid of October in '21. After the 5 days work classes, and then I moved to Diamond in December, end of November. Yes. Is that right?

Okay.

Okay.

And how was, how are things for you with your health and fitness? First and foremost, let me know, what do you do?

I am an IT professional. I work for a multinational company, and that takes a major of my time. That is like I'm into the 9 to 6 job. And I've been working since the last 25+ years.

Wow.

So do you work from home or you go out?

So I have 2 days work from office and 3 days work from home.

Okay, good combination. Fantastic.

So how was your, um, health and fitness journey before you joined the NAS Fitness? And what finally tipped you to come into the 5-day camp?

Okay, my story is a little different. I was overweight after I delivered And then I just went on putting on weight. It's not the first time that I have joined a weight loss program. I've joined a weight loss program a couple of times and I've lost weight, but I ended up gaining it. I can lose fast, but that fast I could gain. So that is one thing which, you know, is to depress me. I'm losing the weight, but I'm gaining it again. So during the COVID I gained— I had lost weight and I gained again. So as I was going through every— the post of your post would keep coming. So I was not too sure to take it or not to take it, but every time I opened the Facebook, it was like a calling for me. And finally, I, you know, joined the 5 Days Bootcamp, and after that, there was no stopping.

So let me ask you, how was your experience of the 5 Day Bootcamp?

Uh, during the 5 Days Bootcamp, I think it was only 2 days of workout because it was Dasara on Friday or something.

Yes.

Yeah, so I joined that week. So it started with dandia, and I didn't have dandia. I had one dandia and a comb. So I remember doing it. So, and it was, it was just fun, you know, it brought out a lot of energy, which I never knew I had. Okay, so, and I found myself, you know, liking what I'm doing it. So it just, just waited for, you know, the chance where I could join you. Yeah, it was a wonderful experience. Two days, wonderful experience.

And when you were overweight, um, what, what kind of emotions would you go through?

See, basically I used to not like looking into the mirrors, and whenever we had to take snaps, and I would always hide behind people. And the worst thing was when you went for shopping and, you know, they would direct you to the XL or XXL sizes. That was very depressing. And because of that, I had stopped shopping, so I would wear whatever I had. So, you know, it was very, um very depressing. Family, friend, no one used to even say that you're fat or you're, you know, you've put on weight. So I would never get to know from my people, you know, that I'm putting on weight unless I actually went to a shopping mall and then I realized I'm an XL. So that was one of the points. Well, as illness, sickness, God bless, I do not have any and I'm blessed with that. But I knew someday this, you know, weight would somewhere, you know, play on my health.

So yeah, fantastic, really.

Now, how much weight have you lost in this period?

Yeah, I have lost around 12 kgs in a span of 1 year, and I've been able to maintain it. That is the biggest thing. There were challenges, and I know there was a little bit of setback with offices, and there were some challenges at home in family front. But the best thing which I liked is I have been able to maintain what I have lost. That is a win for me, the biggest win. Yes. And I know I have kept a target to lose another 6 to 7 kgs. And that is a birthday gift which I'll give myself in December this year.

Wow.

Wow.

Fantastic.

And now that you've lost the 12 kgs, how do you feel?

I am— I love looking at myself in the mirror.

Yes.

That is what I like. And then when I go to a shopping mall, if I go to L, "Madam, M ya S pe toh aap ka." That is another high.

So, wow, things. Yes, yes.

And you said that your family members really wouldn't tell you anything about your weight. I'm sure that after you lost 12 kgs, they started noticing you.

Yeah, they noticed. Yeah, my daughter was saying, "Mama, first I could not hold you, now I can hold your stomach." And my husband also was like very, you know, happy to see the weight loss. He has seen the weight loss earlier also. But now he doesn't stay here. He works out of Bangalore. So then we actually meet after 3 months, 4 months, and he says, oh, you're still maintained. You're still like, you know, he's so used to I'm losing weight again. Lose.

Yes.

So now also he was there last week. He just left this early morning. So again, he was like, you're maintained.

Nice.

That is nice. Yeah.

Very nice. Very nice.

So I want you to tell me a little bit more about The workouts. There are lots of workouts and there are a lot of trainers out there. There's so much information on YouTube. Do you think that the workouts that I designed for the Dynaz Fitness community stand out? And how do they really stand out?

They definitely stand out. I have done workouts earlier and, you know, when you do some heavy workouts and you do your strength and weight, the entire day would go. There are oh and ouch moments during that one hour. But believe me, once I'm completed with that workout, there's no pain. That is something which I have always enjoyed. And I love the combinations that you do. And I've maintained an Excel where I have all your workouts listed out and I pick up whatever I want. So I have grouped it like, okay, strength plus cardio, cardio plus aerobics. So, you know, yeah. So that's the reason why I know till Feb there are around 375 workouts. I still have to update the March. And also I love the lovely songs that happen in between, maybe Apaila Nashao, that Mambo Mamiya. So I made another Excel for 5-minute workout. So sometimes I may do the FB1 or FB2, but then I would pick up the songs. And what I do during my workout, my work from home, I have 3 or 4 links of yours open to that particular song. So then every 5 minutes after 1 or 2 hours, I would play one song. And do it for 5 minutes. I have my shoes on, the sports shoes on.

And you, you sit with the sports shoes on?

Yes, even I have it on now. So I have a different pair which is easy to remove if I have to go to the bathroom or, you know, or something. But I have a second pair which I wear the whole day.

Fantastic, fantastic.

And that keeps— that's why you smile all the time.

Yeah.

Is that why you smile all the time?

Yeah, I'm just happy. Yes, that's true, true.

Just happy person, right?

Yeah.

And you lost all this 12 kgs Like, a lot of people focus a lot on diets, but in the Dynast Fitness community, I say no diet, just focus on your everyday ghar ka khana. Is that what you've been doing and losing?

Yes, yes. The earlier programs that I joined, I had to skip meals, some substitute something, and it was like, you know, something which I couldn't do. Today I can eat whatever I want, and the portion control is something which has worked on my mind. And portion control is like habit. It's, it's anything. It's something that I have. I'm sacrificing something. So yeah, and I eat. I'm also a foodie, but then I know how to control and Shilpu have one.

So fantastic. Yeah.

And then you still don't feel the cravings because you feel the craving. Yes, yes, I don't. I'm not a sweet person. I don't like sweets.

I am a savory person. Yeah.

Chaklis and those things.

Yes.

But I, I will have a small piece.

Yes, yes, yeah, yeah.

So there's no craving.

So everywhere people are focused more on, uh, workouts and diets. Okay, you're at the Dinas Fitness Community. We start off with the workouts, portion control, but by the time you come to the Diamond modules, Diamond membership, I focus 100% on mind programming. I want you to tell us how The Diamond membership or the mind programming has actually influenced you, and did it have an impact on your journey?

Yeah, yeah, mind controlling is something which, you know, earlier maybe it was something I would not believe. You know, you say and it will happen. And once I joined the Diamond affirmations, and it became an in-thing. So I actually have written down a few affirmations which, you know, are there as soon as I get up. So now I will say it. So those things have helped me. And along with the weight loss, there is confidence and, you know, able to face situations. Earlier I would— I'm a very emotional person. I could just, you know, cry at the drop of a hat. Today I'm strong, a stronger person.

Yes.

And this, to add to it, I will say that all these videos that I am— I watch one or two videos whenever I'm traveling to office. So I travel by bus. So I'll put the earphone, like one or two videos I would hear, and then make notes of it. Really?

Yes, I make notes.

And then you go back and follow up whenever you feel that you need a moment of that, right?

If I do not— I'm not able to write it when I'm at traveling mode, I know in the evening I have to come and, you know, just make those two notes, play the video again, and make the notes.

Yes.

And you— have you done the meditations?

Yes. Yeah, I am not a very person who could be stable for, you know, it's 5 minutes or 10 minutes being still. You know, even my mother says, my daughter, Mama can't stand in one place. You know, even if I'm watching TV, I have to do something. So it was challenging in the beginning, but yeah, but now I try and do at least once before, you know, a workout, that if I can. So that is still a challenge of meditation, but whenever I've done it, it has really helped me. Aura cleansing, I try and do it most of the times. Yes, other meditations have helped me, the stress meditation. And the meditations that you do during your MasterMinds.

Yeah, you feel good about it.

It's very good.

Does it give you a sense of calmness after the meditations?

It does, it does. It really helps.

And I, I do more of that moving meditation. I'm more of that person. So not the whole thing, if it's a long one, that's, I think, 17 minutes or something that I do.

That, that is me.

And how has, you know, people focus a lot on making money and their careers and everything. But though you've been in career for the last 25 years, you took out the time to focus on your health and your weight loss journey. How has that impacted you in your career?

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. During— in my work, I used to not be able to be very vocal. If, if there were some, you know, situations where I was being told something, I would, you know, I would be very emotional. I would, you know, succumb to, you know, silence or whatever. But today I'm able to face it. Today I'm being vocal, I'm being very confident of what I'm doing. And also, yes, I'm seeing myself in a very better place than what I used to be.

So yeah.

And have you made any friends in the Dynas Fitness community?

Yeah, quite a few. Yes.

So how does it feel, uh, though you're in the on— of online world You don't feel the distance because I see all of you chatting in the mornings and I don't see that there is a disconnect. There's a big connect over there.

How does it feel? It feels good. It's being, you know, I know when I'm, I'm the live, I put a gallery view, so I like to see more people working out with me. So I know a few people, you know, I connect with them even if I'm not speaking to them. I know, okay, this 4 or 5 people are there with me and yeah, when we speak, it's, it's like, you know, As if we are connected. I have met Homa, as you know, I met her and we didn't feel like, you know, I was meeting her for the first time because we were chatting, we were talking as if you knew each other forever. Yeah, very long time. Yes. And being in Pune, I don't have much people over here, but yeah, whenever I go to Bangalore, I try to meet. I have met even Tiru from Bangalore. So, so if I get an opportunity, yes. But you know, even posting in FB, Facebook, you have those comments coming. So it is again a connect.

Yes. Yeah.

How does, um, how does it, uh, feel to be connected with people in the Facebook private Facebook group that we have?

Oh, that, that is— I'm saying a few things that I've written. This— there's inspiration, motivation, guidance. There's consistency which you get, you know. Then suddenly you get motivated. Okay, I have to do it. You know, you get an alert. But one thing which is not there is no comparison and no competition.

Very nice.

Which is the best part of it. Yes.

And no jealousy.

No jealousy.

Yes.

People are ready to help you. Just put a problem and you have like so many people helping you, not questioning you. Whereas in other places or, you know, wherever, why do you want to do it? No, all will be fine. So there's lot of positivity. Even in the, as soon as I log in into the live workout, Dinas, I just feel the aura of positivity. How it will impress you in the morning.

Fantastic, fantastic.

I know my day will go well.

So what would you like to, um, what would you like to tell our viewers?

Okay, after I joined this community, I have never seen myself, you know, in a negative way. There has always been positivity. Uh, here, there you have a lifetime commitment which you will not get in any other community which I have come across, and I don't think you'll get something like that. And you have guidance not only from the mentor, but you have guidance and you have support from all the people who are on the same lines that you are. So, and it helps you to continue with your consistency. And it's a reminder that if you are— what, where you are, and you need to be in the proximity of the group.

Fantastic.

And whoever wants to get into the journey, I would just say it's the best place to be.

Fantastic. Yeah.

And it's a safe place.

It's a safe place. Yes. I said workouts do not, do not hurt you anyway.

Yes. Yes.
