So welcome, Rani, welcome to the show, and thank you so much for here. How do you feel?

I'm overwhelmed, actually. The first time I'm being interviewed. Wow, really? In my life, yeah.

Wow, I didn't realize it. And how do you feel?

I'm like I'm so happy to be here.

And where are you from, Rani?

I'm from Mumbai. And what do you do? Um, I was a software developer. Like, I did my engineering, and as any engineer goes into software, I went for the software job. I worked in software industry for almost 15 years, and then I took a break. After my kid was born, and I had a lot of issues with respect to my negative chatter in my mind. I felt as if whatever I do, I have to put in a lot of efforts, but I am not getting anything in return. So that was the kind of mindset I was holding on to. Even for conceiving a child, it took me around 8 years after my marriage. I got a child. So all those things, no, it piled up on me and my— I started gaining a lot of weight. So when I joined this community, I was 125 kgs.

Wow.

With, with the serious issues of my lower back, my neck, my knees, like I couldn't move. Um, I, I liked your ad and I even messaged you privately on WhatsApp. I am 125 kgs. Will you be like— do you feel that I can do this program? I was such low in confidence. Like, I have tried many diets in my life, so it used to work. As soon as I, you know, got bored of the diet, I eat normal food, I'll gain back more than what I lost. So it was a seesaw for me the entire You know, I'm like 43 years now, so I've been overweight since I was in 10th grade. And, uh, so your ad came in between my Facebook thing. I was doing a tutor— I was actually tutoring children for White Hat Junior course during lockdown. That's when your ad came in, and I thought, no, I have to do something because the back is really killing me, and I have a small kid, so I have to do something for myself. And I was having a lot of anger issues in me also. So, so yeah, I joined the 5-day WhatsApp class of yours. Yeah, and I loved the, the workouts which happened for 3 days in a week. And I used to have a lot of back issues, a lot of neck issues. I used to lay down on the bed, you know, again the next day, again I used to attend. And I joined the community on 21st of Feb 2021 and immediately jumped to Diamond the very next day.

Wow, really?

Yes, because I knew that although I'm very heavy in my body, I have to work on my mind unless my mind is not clean and not having positive thoughts, no amount of workout or anything will help me. So I understood that the day you launched, uh, the Diamond, the day after I joined, that is on 21st Feb, I immediately took that leap of faith and then joined. So as usual, I was confused, like so many videos So many recordings, what I need to do, and there was no one to, you know, help us like how we are helping now the newcomers. So Simi connected with me and I spoke with her and she asked me to join the masterminds in the evening and all. But initially it was like I was doing classes for white hat, so the timings was not suiting me to attend the mastermind sessions. So I used to watch the recording little, little. I was not, you know, not so much into it the initial 6 months. So I thought, no, this White Hat is not helping me, it's giving me peanuts. I'm not, you know, I'm putting so much of effort in there again and I'm not getting anything in return. So that's why I decided I'll quit White Hat Junior and I'll sit at home and I'll only concentrate on my health. Yeah, which is the top priority for me that time. At that means that was the mindset I had that time. And in one of the mastermind sessions, you told me, like, you spoke to me privately in front of everyone, and you told me that since you are so much overweight, you have to make sure that you concentrate totally on your health, start moving. Start moving your body, no matter it hurts or anything, just get up and do and believe in yourself. So that actually struck a chord in me, and I remember that I became very, uh, active on the Facebook community as well that time, because those days we had a Facebook community. I started reporting my accountability every single day, and that very month I lost 4 kgs in a month. And that was bang on for me.

Wow!

Oh my God, I can do that too! With a lot of aches and pains, and slowly, slowly, by doing the mind programming techniques, the affirmations, the visualizations which you had included in the Diamond, I slowly believed in myself and I started doing it on a regular basis, and I lost weight. Weight started coming down. I was so, so, so happy and so thrilled that even my negative mind chatter, you know, it got— I used to cross everything which comes my way and used to, "No, no, no running. I am the best. I am good. I'm healthy. I'm happy." So that was the thing. Then you launched Quantum. In, uh, April— in March 2022. So I was so, so wanting to join Quantum because I wanted to be in proximity with you. And, uh, but I couldn't go for it because I was like, I'm not earning anything, and I was feeling ashamed to ask my husband. My husband was looking at me and he was saying, see, if you feel it's going to benefit. We are seeing changes in you. The negative thing has gone away. You are more optimistic towards your life. I had the anger issues though with my child, but overall he was seeing, looking at how I am speaking. Like, I used to be very, what do you say, not mingle much with people. Like, I used to like close circle, you know, I used to draw a circle around me and just sit grumpy all the time with, with lot of anger, no smile in my face at all those days. And then suddenly it started seeing the change, and then you said, why don't you go ahead and join Quantum? I said, wait, let me first see how this Quantum is, let the first batch go in, let me see the feedback of how the people are responding, and then The next time when she launches quantum, I'll surely join. So that was, that's how I told my husband that time. And I looked at so many people, Ranjana, then Kethel, Hiral, Simi. Yeah, Monica.

Ranjana, Monica.

Yeah, Monica. And looking at their amazing transformations, I was like, oh, I missed the boat, I see, it seems. And then you launch the second quantum. In June 2022. So then my husband told, what happened now, are you going to join? I said, yes, definitely, I would like to join. Being at the results of so many people, I would like to join. So that's why I joined the Quantum, the, on the second, that is a reboot group.

How do you feel? How much weight had you lost already till you came to Quantum?

Like, I had lost around 5 kgs by then, so I was 120 kgs when I joined Quantum. Okay, that was from November 2021 till June 2021. I had lost 5 kgs.

And how much weight have you lost now total?

Like, I have lost around 15 kgs. Wow! So I'm currently 110. Wow. So still a long way to go for me. I'm not, I'm not bothered about the weight anymore. Yeah.

So I want to ask you, Ronnie, that yes, you came, most people come to Quantum thinking that it is for weight loss. But when you came inside and with our one-to-ones, you realize that you had a lot more that inside that you were holding on in your journey in your— and today you're a second-time Quantum member, not just once, second time Quantum member. I know you took a break and you came back to Quantum. And in the recent past, in the one-to-ones that we've had, I've told you that, Rani, stop running after your weight loss, focus on being a better person and focus on being healthy. How did that impact you, Rani?

That actually has worked wonders on me. Like, I was so obsessed— not the— the scale is not moving, the scale is not moving is what I used to tell you on my personal chats with you. And you said, just stop that weighing scale thing and just focus on your health. Try to be more positive from within, okay? And, uh, try to improve your, uh, what do you say, interpersonal skills, the way you talk to people and all those things. So I started focusing on that, and I had a passion of baking since I was like young. Uh, I, I've never— means I have tried all things to learn baking on my own, trying and doing stuff, but never it used to come, uh, all right. Then in one of the one-to-ones, you told me, why don't you go and do a baking course? If you're so much interested in doing that, and you can start earning as well from home. So then I went ahead and I did a professional baking course and chocolate making from PAVAI in Mumbai, and I started, you know, advertising in my group and all, and I started receiving orders. And I, like, people were amazed with the products which I used to make and I used to do. So that's when I got the confidence that I can, you know, I can start my own home bakery. And touch wood, now— And today? How is it today?

How is it today?

Yeah, it's fantastic. I'm receiving a lot of orders. And I have my own brand named Gimme a Bake. Wow. And I have sent my cookies, the ragi cookies which you tasted, I sent it to Calcutta, I sent it to Bangalore as well.

Wow, what are the other things that you bake? What's your specialty? Tell our viewers.

The cupcakes, yes, the brownies, yes, the cookies, and the birthday cakes as of now. Yeah, just 2 days back my daughter's birthday was there, so I baked a cake for her, and the people who came, like, they were around 30 children, and 30 parents for the party. So everyone loved, and they have told me that they'll be placing orders soon for their kids' birthday as well.

Because they also know that you make it with clean hands, no preservatives.

And yes, thanks.

So really, how do you feel now, Rani, with this kind of an achievement? Now, Health-wise, you are overweight, but yet you feel fit.

Yes, you're able to do 1 hour of workout. I am able to be— I am able to move my body for almost 2 hours every day, like 1 hour in the morning. At a stretch, at a stretch, at a stretch. Initially, it was very difficult for me to move my heavy body, but now I can, you know, work out Like I can do a 1-hour aerobics workout continuously.

Wow.

So for 2 hours in a day. So that is something which I've never thought I would achieve that kind of thing.

And I, you know, brief, brief time I was a baker in my career. And I know that it requires tremendous amount of leg strength and stamina because it's very exhausting standing for hours, then you end up doing the dishes and decorations and everything. And today it's because your body is so fit, you're able to do that.

Yes, yes. Plus no back pain at all.

And no back pain at all.

Fantastic. No back pain at all.

So I want to ask you, Rani, that I, I watched you, uh, as a coach from the time you came to DFC to Quantum the first year, Quantum the second year, and in the, in, in the recent past I opened up the the buddy system and the facilitator system.

I was the lucky one to be the buddy in the first group.

I, yes, I, I don't know what intuitively I said that I wanted to, I wanted to handpick people who had a good attitude. I was not looking for supermodels there. I was looking for people who have the time and people who had the good attitude. And somehow your name came in there And how do you feel about now, from buddy you've been upgraded to facilitator? Facilitators, only a Quantum member can become a facilitator. And how has that impacted your leadership skills and your confidence levels?

See, initially I used to be very scared of talking to people. Like, I can only tell my, you know, Like, I had that thing in me that I cannot speak with— if someone even comes in my house or anything, I will be very quiet. I normally don't go and talk to anyone just for say, okay? So I was very reserved. And now since I became a buddy, I started helping people. Yeah, in the group, WhatsApp group. So they had lots of questions, all sorts of you know, the doubts and everything they had. And we used to be present in the WhatsApp and help each and everyone. So that boosted, like, I'm able to help people out. Okay, that itself gave me that confidence. No, no, I can do it. Yeah, people listen to me also, and I'm able to help everyone so that their life becomes simple and easy. And then I was not aware that I will be promoted as a facilitator. And one day you messaged me that, "Rani, I want to talk to you." So I was like, "Oh my God, what happened now? He is asking me to come?" So then when I joined, you told me that I've been promoted as a facilitator. I was like, "Oh my God, what an opportunity for me to even serve people." So now I'm like able to call up people. I've— I'm able to talk with them, understand their problems, you know, help them, uh, relate to our course modules and, uh, guide them. So that itself, uh, has increased the leadership quantity— qualities in me. Plus, uh, I hold a Zoom session with all the groups every week. So I never thought that I've always been on the other side of the Zoom sitting and listening to what you or Simi or Healer are talking and taking down notes and everything. So I've always been on the other side, and now here I am conducting the Zoom sessions for the people. I am trying to motivate the other people in the group, so that itself has given me that, that confidence.

And by motivating somebody else, you're constantly working on yourself.

Myself, yes.

Actually, we think that we are doing something for other people, but now we're actually doing things for ourselves. And this is an amazing share and an amazing story of confidence. So as I promised each and every one of you, Rani is going to give you that one tip which is very, very important to boost up your confidence levels? Rani, one, one line.

Believe in yourself.

Yes.

Think positively and you will surely achieve.

Fantastic. Rani, this was an amazing story of somebody who was crying all the time and somebody had self-pity and somebody who always thought that they were not capable of doing anything. Today You've not only come out and looked after your health, you become a homemaker, you're earning money, plus you've joined me in my mission and become a buddy, then upgraded to— I upgraded you to a facilitator, and now you're working as a core group of the Dynaz Fitness team, and you're part of that group. So a deep gratitude to you, Rani.

Deep gratitude. Thank you. Keep doing the—

keep doing the good work that you have been doing in helping the new students to get a better experience so that one day they are also where you are today.

Yes, Dee, definitely. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Deep, deep, deep gratitude to you. Also, I forgot about the health and fitness coaching. Yes, when you told me initially, uh, that you do the health and fitness, I was like, Dee, who will look at my body and who will come to take classes? That's when you told me that you can become a coach for plus-size women. And that actually struck a chord inside me, and I said, okay, fine, I'll go ahead and I'll do this. And the way you have trained us, oh my God, I don't even have words to express my deepest gratitude to you.

Thank you, thank you so much.

So I've learned a lot, and, uh, soon I'll become a health and fitness coach for plus-size women in the country. Thank you so much.
