From 96kg to 63kg: A Transformation Journey
I'm Raghu Ram, a 32-year-old software engineer who was overweight throughout my 20s,
reaching 96 kg in early 2019. That changed during a hiking trip to
Erawan waterfalls in Thailand—I was completely out of breath while older people breezed past me.
That wake-up call made me realize: I need to be fit for life, not just lose weight.
Building Sustainable Fitness
I joined a gym in late 2019 and learned the fundamentals. When COVID hit, I turned to YouTube,
experimented, and found what worked for my body. After marriage in late 2020, I adapted from
5-6 days/week to 3-4 days with better results. When I became
a father in late 2022, I adjusted again—sometimes hitting the gym at 5:30 AM to balance family and fitness.
Where I Am Today
Today, I maintain a healthy 63 kg with 12-15% body fat,
good muscle mass, and low visceral fat. By the end of 2024, I completed my
Personal Training and Nutrition Certificate courses from NASM, becoming a
Certified Personal Trainer. I work out 3-4 days per week,
proving that sustainable fitness fits into real life.
