Welcome to Isheeria’s Healing Circles,
On this International Women’s Day, I am very happy to introduce to you Mrs. Shreya Roy, a lady who has motivated and inspired me through her own life and attitude. Read on her story in her own words:
I am an introvert from a Bengali family, born and brought up in Patna (Bihar). I was never exceptional in studies but managed to score enough to be away from my parent’s wrath! I was an obese child hence the shyness, and was never interested in sports.
As a teenager my only target was to move out of my hometown, so that I can enjoy the true meaning of independence.
I did my master’s in Computer Application and started working in Pune, Maharashtra as a humble software engineer.
I never knew what fate had planned for me.
Sometimes, if we’re very fortunate, we meet the one person who will forever change the course of our lives.
Hence I met my now husband who is a renowned fitness coach. He introduced me to the world of fitness and weightlifting.
In a year’s time from being a person who weighs 110 kgs and with low self-esteem, I became a confident person weighing 58 kgs, and that changed my life turn 360 degrees.
That’s when a passion that later at the age of 30 became my profession. I was so determined and passionate towards helping and educating people the importance of exercise and healthy diet that I left my lucrative paying job of a software engineer and opened up a fitness consultation firm named “Maasaifitness” with my husband.
This year our company will be completing two glorious years and we as a couple have been able to change thousands of lives. We are in a journey of building a community who will work with us and spread the knowledge.
My personal goal is to educate women the importance of placing their health on the top of their priority list.
I am extremely passionate about this cause because I lost my mother at the young age of 49 to an autoimmune disease.
The woman of the house is the center of the family and because of their sacrificing nature, they tend to give little importance to their own health! and around the clock are primarily focused on fulfilling their family’s needs and wishes.
It is very important to remember Dear Women: If you want to keep your family happy, you need to keep yourselves happy! and that can only be achieved with a healthy body and mind.
I don’t know if my story is inspiring but definitely I can say that wherever you are in your life, you can change it by moving out of the comfort zone.
Lastly would like to conclude with one of my favourite quotes by ’Socrates’ :
“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new”

Three fabulous bloggers have hosted this blog train on the occasion of Women’s day, Neha from Sharing our experiences, Deepali from My teeny tot and Anubhuti from Cries n laughter.
I would like to Thank Kavita for introducing me in in her blog www.momtasticworld.com where she has written an interesting post on Tips for Women to be Financially Independent (point 2 really resonated for me!).
Hop on this blog train and read another interesting blog from Gunjan– www.tuggunmommy.wordpress.com

Happy women’s day
100 to 58??? Are you kidding me? It takes a lot and lot of efforts, not to do loose weight but to have that motivation and strength to do that for so long. I am sure it wasn’t an easy path but you did it…. commendable!!!
Thanks a lot .
If I can do it , so can you .
I am now following maasaifitness on Twitter and looking for inspiration. She has proven it is never too late to change your life. Thank you.
She is such an inspirational figure, realizing the importance of fitness and drastically changing herself within a year seemed incredible.
Thanks a lot .
If your mind believes , your body follows.
It is indeed inspiring! Without a healthy life and body all other achievements in our life are incomplete. Thanks for sharing her story with us, Ishi. Happy to know about her.

I feel so happy when I see women reaching at such heights. Very inspiring posts.
Thats really inspiring. Its never too late to realize the importance of fitness in life
A truly inspirational journey.. i guess life’s experiences can shape you to what you are today.
This is such a positive and inspirational story yaa 🙂
Women, especially Indian women are brought up in a way that makes them feel their health and wants are of no importance and they always keep caring for others without looking at themselves! Every mother does the same.. they never care for themselves!
She is really inspiring for us! 110 kgs to 58 kgs is a great thing
She is really very much inspiring.. Thanks for sharing about her.
Truly an inspiration .. I really salute her hardwork
Such an inspiring story! By 1yr from 110 to 58kg is not easy! Thanks for sharing her story
Great inspiring story…from 110 to 58 is a huge change…really motivating..love your blog post
This is definitely inspirational, here I am not able to lose even a kg and she transformed from 110 to 58 kg that’s phenomenal. Hats off to you Shreya, keep motivating!
