Hi, Najina. Hi. I lost. I started with 110.3 kilo, and I went down to 99.6. So that's 10.7 kilo. When you calculate it in. In pounds, that's 23.5.

23.5 pounds. And how long did you lose? How long did it take for you to lose the 23.5 pounds exactly?

The eight. Eight weeks exactly. Your program. Eight weeks, right.

Oh, my gosh. Congratulations. That's a major change.

Now, tell me a little bit about your, like, your measurements. How much did you lose in your measurements? Tell me that, too.

Okay. Well, with my bust, I left. I lost, I believe, four inches. The waist also four inches. My tie, let me see. It was a 28. It went down to 24. Also four, like, four and a half. Body fat was at the beginning, was 48.2. It went down to 47.1. Yeah.

So great. So great. Oh, my gosh. And I love how you kept track of everything.

Yes, yes.

Yourself, Skinny. We take our weight and our measurements in the beginning, and how did you feel when you took it at the end? Like, how did that make you feel when you took your weight and you saw that you had lost that much?

Well, I was so happy and surprised. I didn't expect. I was a bit skeptical. Let me tell you the truth about the program with spices. But at the end, when I saw that so much weight I had lost, I was so happy. I was so happy. Really?

Oh, my gosh. Okay. Well, that's so great to hear. Now I want to ask you a few questions, but first, I want to start off with something super fun, and that is tell me about what your favorite spot spice is. What's your favorite spice that you've been using over the past eight weeks?

Favorite is the lemon pepper. I have so much now the lemon pepper, cinnamon. The. Which one? Oh, basil and mint. Let me see. Cayenne. I started to feel it now. I mean, it's still spicy, but I could deal with it. And rosemary.

Oh, I love it. And you got to make. You got to use those in the dishes and spice yourself steak.

Yes. Yeah.

Now, that sounds just so delicious. Even you saying those spices. So I know that you're cooking at home was, like, really, really good, using all those flavors. Great. Oh, my gosh. So exciting. Well, I wanted to ask you. Now tell me about. Can you share with me the exact moment you decided to join Spice Yourself Skinny? Like, why did you make the decision to join it? You said you were skeptical. So what was happening in your life that made you say, I'm going to try this?

Okay, well, I happened to be on the Internet and on my email account and I got this message from Tarna Mall Khanna Monitor and about spices and Skinny. And I said, what is this about? Let me go and research it. So I went and look and I found some testimonials and I was still kind of skeptical, but I said, no, let me try. Because I was fed up with how I was feeling, how I was looking, and I said, now let me try this program. I've tried so many. And I said, well, see? And I tried it and it does work. I've been telling my colleagues at work about this program.

So.

And they are getting kind of excited too. So who knows, maybe some of them will try it too.

That is so great. And so, okay, you said you've tried everything. So what. Why did you just. Why did you feel like this is different than another, than other weight loss programs that you've already tried?

Because of the spices. I didn't get. I never saw in any other diet about spices that you could use spices. I mean, you make the food taste delicious, but that you could still lose weight. So that was the point where I said, no, I'm going to try it. I told my husband, and my husband said, oh, yeah, there you go again. Because he knows me. See how long you stay on it? I said, oh, we'll see. He was shocked too, when he see me losing the weight. So he said, yes, this program is really good. And what he loved it was the dessert part. The desserts they used to make. The ginger cookie was a big hit because I carried some to work too, and my colleagues love it. So yeah, yeah, he loved that.

So, yes, because we eat desserts and Spice Yourself Skinny, we are not depriving ourselves at all. We're eating. Even when we eat spice, even when we eat cookies, we put some spices in it and get all the weight loss benefits from those. I'm so glad your husband liked it. And did your husband also eat the other recipes and foods in Spice Yourself Skinny? Like, did he join you in eating?

No, he didn't join me, but my son did because he started tasting. He said, oh, these taste so good. Do me too. Give me some. So he went along with me. Not all, but Some of them he loved.

Good. Okay. That's so, so good. Oh, my gosh. Okay, so tell me about how you feel, how you feel differently now than eight weeks ago when you started spice yourself skinny. Like, what can you do that's different? Can you wear different clothes? Do you feel energetic? What are the things that are different now?

Well, first of all, I saw my skin start to get lighter and, you know, feel more fresh. I could start putting on my skinny clothes or smaller clothes, looking good. My face got smaller, and everything started. Started with my face, and then the rest followed, and I just feel lighter and happier and more stamina. More. Yeah. Like I say, I feel better.

Oh, yes. And I could see that in the pictures, your before and after picture. You're right. You really see. And also in your midsection, I can really see it, the change. It's like, I feel like a lot of us, it's a midsection is the problem area. Was that your problem, Maria?

Yes. Especially by me. Yes.

Yeah. And it seems like whatever you try, it's hard to actually lose the fat in the middle. But with spice and silk skinny, it's the spices, but also the foods that you're eating, the combinations of are actually helping your belly fat go down. And that's what I saw in you as well as in your face. And those are, like, the two areas that are great. Oh, my gosh. Okay, good. So I love that. So you're feeling, and how do you feel like when you go to work? Do you feel more confident? Do you feel, like, good when you walk in your office?

Yes, I feel more confident. I feel more at ease. My colleagues have been telling me, hey, what are you doing? See, you've changed. What have you been doing? I keep on telling them from, Yes, I tried this program, and it gives you a good feeling when people notice that something has changed in you and.

You'Ve really lost weight. Like, true weight, when people start noticing. Because sometimes we lose a little weight on our own and we wonder, oh, can anyone tell? Can anyone see? Even though that's not as important as you actually doing it. But it feels good when people are noticing because you know what's really happening then. Yeah, it's being seen also. So that's nice. So tell me, Ruth, what surprised you the most about spice yourself skinny?

I believe the different spices, because there are some spices I never heard of or never tried. And it was just like you're experimenting each time when you have a new spice getting introduced in the recipe, and then to try it and then to Eat it to see how it tastes and yeah, if I liked it or not. So that was surprising. The different spices, coriander, the cumin seed and the garam masala, those are all new spices for me. My whole cupboard is full with new spices.

Oh my gosh. So does that mean for you that now you've learned to use those spices and you can just kind of like flavor up your food and change now, right?

Yes, Yeah, I have been doing that.

Yeah.

I still continue with the program that I put in. I switching up a few of the recipes, doing it on the other day to see how that goes. So, yeah.

Oh, amazing. So just like knowing that there's more spices out there and learning to use them, that's. That's what surprised you about skinny, right?

Yeah.

So now what are you going to do now? Like, are you done with your, with your weight loss? Do you feel like you can, like, are you going to, do you look at it like you just went through an eight week diet or do you feel like you've transformed your life? Like, what's going to happen after this now?

Well, I don't see it as a diet. I saw it more like a health style program and reprogramming myself how to use spices and how to put the amount, keep in mind the amount of meat with the vegetables, you know, keep it in balance. And that's I've learned so that I will keep on doing further on because I find I still need to lose some more weight. So I'm keeping, I'm following your format, what you're saying. So yeah, and that's learn because you really need to change the way you, you cook and with the way you eat and that I find with your program it's learn me to follow, follow the guidelines and keep on it, keep on track.

Oh, good. Well, I'm so happy because yes, it's like now you can learn new dishes, new recipes, how to cook differently and then that it's like about the eight weeks being a jumpstart to changing how you eat and how you look at how you look at the enjoyment of your food that you can actually love it and still lose weight.

Yes, yes. That's the important part.

So Ruth, thank you so much. You have really. I'm so happy that you got to share your experience with me.

Yes.

You are just surprising me and I am very confident that if you want to keep losing weight, it's going to keep happening because your lifestyle, just like you said, your health style, style, it's changed.

I was wondering do you have other programs or other, you know, to keep going or should I join back or what? What should I do? That's my questions. Okay.

Okay. Well, let me just stop the recording. So let me just say bye for the recording. Bye.

Bye.
