Her journey is not just about weight loss—it’s a powerful story of self-belief, resilience, and rediscovering confidence.
A. My journey was a real emotional roller coaster. I spent years bouncing between quick-fix diets—only to regain every bit I lost. It was exhausting. Then I started working with Coach Dimple, and her method was simple, practical, and sustainable. It wasn’t about starving or overtraining—it was about eating mindfully, tracking my meals, and being kind to myself. That shift in mindset changed everything.
A. Coach Dimple’s transformation was my biggest inspiration. As a mom of two, she had completely turned her life around—and then guided so many other women to do the same. Watching her thrive gave me the belief that I could too. I stopped doubting and finally started showing up for myself.
A. I began at 66 kgs, and now I weigh . But to me, it’s not just about the number on the scale—it’s about how empowered and healthy I feel in my own skin.
A. It took 8 months—eight months of dedication, small wins, and learning to push through the tough days. The progress wasn’t always linear, but every step forward was worth it.
A. Vacations and PMS , especially for , were my biggest roadblocks. Earlier, I’d give in and feel guilty. But this time, I focused on balance over perfection. I learned how to make better choices and bounce back without beating myself up.
A. My coach had a mantra: “One day at a time.” That single line helped me ground myself when I felt overwhelmed. I focused on making today count, and the results added up.
A. I followed a calorie-deficient diet, but nothing was off-limits. I enjoyed refeed days, especially when PMS hit—it helped control cravings. My workout split included a Push-Pull-Legs gym routine, one HIIT session per week, and home-based workouts to address Diastasis Recti. Within six months, my core strength was noticeably better.
A. Yes, especially early on—I struggled with consistency and sometimes felt like giving up. But my coach always reminded me of why I started. That emotional anchor helped me stay the course and keep pushing forward.
A. Don’t give up on yourself. Find a coach who understands your personal and emotional challenges, especially if you’re a mom. The FITTR community gave me that connection and accountability. You don’t have to be perfect—just keep showing up.
A. It’s been life-changing. I’m more confident, present, and authentic than I’ve ever been. This wasn’t just about shedding weight—it was about uncovering the strong, resilient woman I always had within me.
