MY JOURNEY
I wasn’t born fit. I just refused to quit for the last time.
From the chubby kid in every class photo to 95 kg behind a desk, then down to 65 kg and coaching others. No crash diets, no secret trick, just the honest, year-by-year version of what actually worked.
Childhood 2000 – 2010
The kid picked last
I was the chubby one in every class photo. Ghee on everything, sweets after every meal, and a mother who believed a full plate was love.
Sports day was something to survive. I laughed along with the jokes, then went home and ate a little more.
Where you start is not who you are.
School 2010 – 2014
Every January, a new me
Teenage me tried everything: 5 am runs that lasted a week, skipping dinner, copying a bodybuilder’s routine off YouTube.
Nothing stuck, because nothing fit the life I actually had — tuition, exams and a lot of chai.
Motivation starts things. Systems finish them.
College 2014 – 2018
Hostel food and late nights
Engineering meant midnight Maggi, canteen samosas and zero sleep. I crossed 90 kg somewhere in second year and stopped stepping on scales.
I joined the college gym three times. I quit three times — usually by Thursday of week two.
A plan you can’t follow is just a wish list.
90+ kg By 2nd year
First job 2018 – 2019
The desk that broke me
Ten-hour days, client calls, food delivered to my desk. I hit 95 kg. My back hurt, stairs were a negotiation, and I avoided every photo.
The turning point wasn’t dramatic: a friend’s wedding photo I couldn’t recognise myself in. That night I decided to do it differently.
Rock bottom is a solid floor to push off from.

“Rock bottom is a solid floor to push off from.”
It was the last Sunday I started over. This time I kept going.
The turnaround 2019 – 2021
A plan that fit my life
No extreme routine this time. Sessions I could actually show up to around work, a diet built from the food I already liked, and a notebook.
Some weeks the scale didn’t move. I showed up anyway. Two years later I was 30 kg lighter and, for the first time, not starting over.
Consistency doesn’t beat intensity. It outlasts it.

Now I build it for you
Friends asked what I did. Then their friends asked. Since 2022 I’ve coached 60+ people through the same thing.
Busy parents, students, people at their heaviest. The plans fit their week, not the other way round.
If I could do it from the couch, you can do it from wherever you are.

Sound familiar?
You’re not lazy. You’ve just had the wrong plan.
You’ve restarted every January
So did I, for years. The fix was a smaller plan, not a bigger promise.
Your job eats your week
Mine did too. A plan that fits your week beats a perfect one you never follow.
You hate the gym mirror
I avoided photos for years. The mirror gets friendlier with time.
You’re scared of failing again
Every “failed” attempt taught me what to change. None were wasted.
Your chapter starts now.
You don’t need a perfect Monday. You need a plan that fits your week and a coach in your corner.
