Supriya loses 12 Kgs in 6 months | DFC Quantum Ep 18

If you've been looking for inspiration to lose weight and if you're a working professional, this story is for you. Welcome back to my channel, and I have an amazing story of an IT professional who has lost tremendous amount of weight, and she is going to be sharing a very inspiring story of how her life was before and how her life is today. So welcome to our channel, Supriya. First and foremost, deep gratitude to you for coming here and sharing your story.

Thank you so much, Dee, for giving this opportunity. I had always watched these videos, you know, which were very inspiring, and I thought one day I will also come and share.

Wow, how many people have told me this story!

Wow.

So Supriya, Tell us, what was life before DFC and before quantum? This is all about quantum and your journey in quantum. So I know that you've jumped from silver to quantum immediately.

Right.

So how was your journey before you came in? How was your life?

Right. So basically, I am a software engineer, basically from Maharashtra, but based out of Bangalore since last 10 years. I have a kid who is 5 years old, and my husband is also in IT. Both of us in IT. And so basically, last 3 years were quite stressful for me, right? There was so much going on in my life. A toddler kid and a full-time IT job. Then our house was getting— interiors were going on, renovation, painting. All those things. And then I was also doing my MBA. So though, though it used to be a weekend, it used to— I, I didn't get any, you know, leave weekends. I used to have my classes, assignments, exams, and then some more other family responsibilities, brother's marriage, this, you know, like basically there was such so much happening that it took a toll on my body. I used to get frequent headaches, frequent headaches, and back pains. Back pain was like so much. Every day I used to tell my husband, please massage. And then weight— I gained so much weight. Though I had lost weight after my pregnancy, I gained it back. All of that in last 3 years. And then one day when I was walking, there was a sharp pain in my knee, and that was a wake-up call for me that in 30s if I get a knee pain, what will happen to me when I grow old? And then things kind of started getting settled. House was in place, the kid was little okay, my MBA got over, then I was like, it's a, it's a high time that I need to look after myself. I have to give time to my body. And that's when I was searching for something to join, some program to join. I had earlier joined HealthifyMe when I lost during my pregnancy time. But then Somehow that calorie counting every day, measuring how much to eat, I was like, I don't— I am not that kind of a person. So I was looking for something which is sustainable and more easy. So yeah, like while going through social media, I came across two things. I shared this in one of my messages, right? I shortlisted Gabit and I shortlisted BFC. And, um, uh, there was my husband's, uh, birthday also coming up, so I thought why not gift him also a fitness membership. So I gifted him Gabit membership and I gifted myself DFC membership, and that's how I, you know, joined DFC.

Where is he now?

He's there working.

No, no, as in, is he applying all the learnings from GABIT?

No, no, not at all. I have achieved my goal. He is hardly using it.

So what changed? You've tried HealthifyMe, you knew what gift you're going to give to him also. So what— how did this program stand out from the other programs? Let me, let me ask you this question first.

All right, so the— I have tried gyms also, but I'm not a gym kind of a person. Um, HealthifyMe I tried, and then yoga I used to go initially, very like few years back. And then I got this Gapit experience also. So I think, um, the community, right, the system, the way it has been designed, it gives a personal touch. It doesn't allow you to slip off. And then there are, there are continuously bombarded with so many inspirational stories. You see people getting their results and then you think that, okay, they can do, then I can also do it. So that thing is missing, I think, right? Because he has a diet coach, he has a nutrition coach, he has a buddy, but still is not able to do So basically that motivation, right? Our Tuesday masterminds. Yes, TM masterminds, those are very helpful. Those will put you back on track even if you are slipping off. Um, there is something new to learn, uh, from those, I think, those sessions which will motivate you to be on track.

And as a young girl, sorry, immunity.

WhatsApp groups, you are part of some group. So when I joined, it was a Telegram group.

Yes.

But then you see those messages, you see people doing it, then you will be like, everybody is doing, I should also do, kind of thing. So it doesn't allow you to slip off, basically.

Did coming to Quantum immediately help you to speed up the journey for you?

Yes, yes.

How did that happen?

Um, see, I joined Silver, but then I knew that I'm very lethargic, so, uh, to expedite my weight loss journey, I felt that I need to seek for some personal attention. And then Quantum was launched. Diamond was not launched when I joined. And, um, but then you said few things, right? I knew that I, I need something more than just a diet plan or an exercise plan. I needed something beyond that. And, um, when you said that mind programming, that just clicked me that yes, working on mind is something definitely I need to do, and that is how I would achieve my results. So, and then you said, uh, do you want to be your own coach? And I was like, yes, that's what I want. That's what I was looking for, to be fit and, you know, to know that and to maintain that for rest of my life. Like, I should know what I have to do to maintain good health for rest of my life. And I thought I, I will be able to get that in Quantum. So with that expectation, I joined Quantum.

How many years have you been— how many months have you been in Quantum now?

I think from March or April. Yeah, April, I guess.

How much weight have you lost?

Total 12 kgs. Wow!

How do you feel after losing 12 kgs today?

I feel very nice, very light. I feel very energetic. So I used to feel very lazy, so that laziness is not there. I am energetic for entire day. I do not miss my workouts, whatever it is, and I'm not on any diet now. I am eating whatever I want, but in portion control, but everything. So I think that is what I needed. I wanted something sustainable. The HealthifyMe, basically, I could not have been on that diet for all that time.

So yeah, tell our viewers, how did you, you know, managing a small kid and a full-time job, how did you manage this journey?

Um, as you say, that why my why was very strong. I wanted to get fit and learn how to do it for rest of my life. Um, and then this, uh, sessions, the Quantum Masterminds. Yeah, those were helpful. The Tuesday sessions were helpful. And, uh, so morning, um, 7:10 my kid goes to school, her bus comes. So I joined workout little late, 7:15 I joined, 15 minutes late. But then I do 15-20 minutes extra after the workout gets over to compensate that. And, um, so once she goes, then I got some time for myself. And so I used to do these workouts and all, then, uh, all our breakfast, this, that, then go to office.

And now you are learning to become a health and fitness coach, at least to start with, for yourself. Yes. How do you feel about that?

Very nice. I mean, it's like a— it has given me a vision to see things differently.

Nice.

Yeah. And I'm— it's like a treasure box opening in front of me, HNF. And understanding the music was the best part for me. When I started understanding those beats and how to connect those exercises, no, it was more of a fun for me. It is more of a fun for me now.

Yes, yes. Where do you see yourself taking this knowledge?

So the, um, this year it was, it is all about fitness, uh, improving my health. And, um, so I could see that, you know, even my family members are getting inspired because of My husband joined Silver membership. My mother joined Diamond membership. Wow. My aunt, she is in a little rural place. So there is no, you know, gym or anything over there.

Yes.

So when you gave that, that Diwali gift.

Yes.

I just thought who all need it and I gifted to her.

She using it?

Um, yeah, she is in the same group which I am supporting.

Nice, all in the family.

Yes, and my cousin who is in US, he had a baby. Like, that baby is now 1 year, so he's in that thing, managing a new baby kind of thing. So, but now the kid is 1 year, so I told him now focus on your health. So I gifted him also. He's coming next month. So I'll see to it that he, you know, uses that Silva membership.

Nice, nice. What is this? What is this big one message that you would like to put out to women your age who are not able to manage their health because of work and family pressures? What's that message that you'd like to give?

Right, basically what happens is we do not prioritize ourselves. That is a main thing. I, I understand because I have gone through that. I go through that. But then before our body starts taking toll, it is better to be, you know, to take precautions than rather than going for any cures afterwards. So even for the people who have kids, maybe of my age in the community, um, right, the people in 60s, 70s, if you have kids in 30s and all, please motivate them to take fitness seriously from 30s only. Yes, yes. In 20s, the world is like, you know, you need to fly, you are so active and everything. When you are in 30s, now you kind of settle down, you you might have a kid, house, car, whatever the basic things would have been there. But then that starts taking toll on your body. So it is better to start from 30s only.

Fantastic, fantastic. Really, truly, Supriya, very, very inspiring story. And needed— I needed my viewers to listen to you because a lot of youngsters in their 30s and in their 40s think that this is the time for you to give back to your family. While it was important, you heard the wake-up call, and from that little sound or the feeling that you had from your knee, you heard that wake-up call and you took massive action. For those of you who have already got one wake-up call from the universe on your body, I want you to stay absolutely inspired listening to this story, and I wanted to let me know in the comments below how what are the problems that you're facing and how we can contribute. People like Supriya and I can come forward and how we can help you to become a better version of yourself so that by the time you reach your 60s and 70s, you'll be flying. Can't wait to see you guys in the community, and I can't wait to help each and every one of you to get started on your journey. On that positive note, deep gratitude, Supriya. It was a beautiful, very, very story coming from a very fresh person. And for those of you who are here, stay inspired. If she can do it and she can manage her work-life balance and her health, you can do it too.
