Man shares the diets which helped him lose 38 kgs in a year, and his wife over 10 kgs, shares how he remained consistent: ‘I started documenting….’

Nothing is better than having a partner in your weight loss journey. That way, you can both keep the other accountable. Taking to Instagram, an Instagram user called ThatFatFunnyIndia shared how he lost a whopping 38 kilos in a year along with his wife, Rinky, who shed over 10 kgs. His story was shared by the positivity portal The Humans Of Bombay.

The man explained that his motivation went far beyond appearance or the number on the weighing scale. He wanted to live long enough to become a healthy father and provide his future child with a strong and healthy home environment.

A self-described food lover, he said his eating habits gradually became a serious problem. His struggle with excess weight had continued for years. In 2018, he managed to lose 35 kilograms but eventually regained the weight. He went through another period of weight loss before his wedding in 2022. However, relocating to Hyderabad brought additional stress, and his weight began climbing once again.


He said conversations with relatives and friends frequently revolved around his size. Although many people intended their comments as concern or advice, repeatedly discussing his weight became emotionally draining. Eventually, he reached his highest recorded weight of around 148 kilograms.

His health soon became another major concern. He was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, while his doctor warned him that the combination of his weight and elevated blood sugar levels was placing him at a serious risk of a stroke.

At roughly the same time, the couple began considering starting a family. That prompted them to make a shared commitment to become healthier parents for their future child. Both began working on their fitness and lifestyle together.

The journey was far from easy. They encountered periods of self-doubt, powerful food cravings and moments when abandoning their efforts seemed tempting. However, they continued encouraging one another and maintaining accountability.

The couple abstained from snacking and adhered to a rigorous intermittent fasting schedule during the week. While he used a One Meal A Day strategy, Rinky chose a regimen that included two scheduled meals per day. Additionally, he started posting on social media the unvarnished truth of his metamorphosis. He was able to stay motivated throughout trying times by interacting with people who shared his objectives.

Eventually, their consistency yielded noteworthy outcomes. Over the course of a year, Rinky lost more than 10 kg and went from weighing about 147 kg to 109 kg, a reduction of 38 kg. The couple is still working toward their personal objectives, but their progress together has made them more determined to provide a happier and healthier home for their future family.

In another Instagram update, he also described a separate 15-day period during which he claimed to have lost 2 kilograms. A 48-hour fast, about 90 minutes of cardio, and a strength-training session with an emphasis on the chest were all part of his regimen. He claimed to have burnt about 1,100 calories even though he had to leave the gym early due to work obligations.
