I began my journey at 140 kg, full of doubt could I really lose this weight? Then I remembered something my grandma once told me: start with simple things, stay consistent, and you’ll see amazing results. So, I began small: 6,000 steps a day. After a month, I raised it to 8,000. Another month later, I hit 10,000 steps daily — and just by staying consistent, I lost 20 kg. That’s when I turned to nutrition. With the HealthifyMe app, I began tracking my calorie intake and paying attention to what I ate. Combined with my daily steps, I shed another 22 kg in just three months! Feeling stronger, I started strength training along with monitoring macro intake and daily 10k steps . This month, I completed a half marathon and a 100 km mountain bike ride and lost another 8 kgs. My lifestyle had fully transformed — from sedentary to active. Now, I’ve signed up for my first full marathon this October. There are countless apps, transformation videos, and diet plans out there but none of them work unless you start. So here’s my message to anyone wondering if they can do it. Get ready, get up, and go! Your journey begins the moment you take that first step.
