−24 kg in 11 months

I was overweight for almost all of my life. I was bullied during my school time due to my weight. I didn't make many friends throughout my school life, partly due to being an introvert but mostly due to the confidence issues that came with being overweight. I used to have a really bad palette since childhood, eating anything from the fridge, buying chips and chocolates whenever going out shopping. I was also addicted to soda and street food. I tried fad diets before, but due to no actual vision nothing ever worked. I tried to blame studies and other things in life for not focusing enough on my health. Now at 23, only months away from graduating from IIT bombay, I knew I had no excuses but to work on my physical health. Thanks to the internet and help from "gym bros", I learnt about calorie tracking and healthifyme. My journey with healthifyme started around May of 2024 (at around 75kgs), I have been using this app primarily for tracking my calories and micronutrients. Yes, it was really hard to tackle my food and classes together at first, I got many hunger cues and had the urge to binge. But I told myself: it's now or never. After the first 3 months I started noticing physical changes, I also improved my appetite. I started incorporating cardio and gym into my routine. I try to complete my 10,000 steps daily and workout around 5 days a week (As of today, around 51 kgs). As for my food, I have only been using healthifyme, and will be doing for a long time.
