This article is in fact a story of Weight Loss community and its members; this is Orkuthero’s tribute to those who used their online time in helping others on weight loss community and an honor to those who with their strong fortitude and confidence made the impossible, possible.
Weight loss community was started by Prashant M.D., a Bangalore based techie who himself lost 30 kg of weight and just to share his new life experience with other’s he made this community on orkut. In his own words
“The motivation to start the community was my own story by which I lost all my weight from 100 to 70. I was a fat guy for almost 22 years….I started doing workouts for 3 hrs a day with a consistent diet and lost my weight. I was so much impressed by my new body and it’s benefits of being lean, I just wanted to spread the joy of the new life. That’s how the Weight lose Community got started on orkut.”
Prashant’s success story was just a start of weight lose community, today there are several other success stories like Prashant and many others who want to share their story of joy and happiness of getting a new life. All forum threads in the community are full of training schedules, queries, problems, diet, exercises etc. Finally, the member’s shares their ‘Before” and “after” photos with each other on Transformation Photo Thread.
Weight Lose community has a big group of members from different professional health care backgrounds like dieticians, doctors and fitness trainers who help those members, who seriously want to lose weight.

“I was stuck I wasn’t able to lose my weight further with the normal diet.
Two months back I started with the 8 meal diet (must if you really want to lose fat) and RAYGUN’S WEIGHT TRAINING PROGRAMME (must if want to lose fat as well as tone up you body).” – Archana
Besides giving training and diet schedules Raygun also takes care to keep contact with everyone who are taking his guidance seriously. The community members share a very close relationship between them, like cheering up when someone loses 10 pounds and motivating other who are facing any tough situations.
The community has strength of more than 3000 people and most of them are quiet active, this keeps the forum threads lively so one can accept new threads or new replies in every mins and hours. Like Raygun, Venu Unnikrishnan a senior moderator and highly respected in the community, along with Dr Hemant Mittal and Pardhiva are strong team of Moderators.
Raygun was invited on our Rated-wow community showcase on orkut and was interviewed about this super community and these fantastic people who know how to make their dreams come true. Like Archana there are many other wonderful victorious stories which will always be thankful to orkut and weight loss community for giving them a platform where they can share, discuss and get guidance from their friends and professionals and finally achieve that confidence and spark in their life which they were missing since long.

Last but not least, a lesson for many of us. Weight Loss community member’s dedication is praise worthy; they achieved everything by themselves for themselves, and for their family and for their life.
