Woman loses 32 kg in 5 months from 130 kg, shares her diet and workout: ‘I couldn’t imagine being here’

Navu has lost 32 kg in five months after weighing 130 kg, crediting consistency, calorie tracking, protein, daily steps and strength training for her progress.
Weight loss journeys often involve more than simply stepping on a weighing scale. For Navu, who weighed 130 kg five months ago, her transformation has involved making consistent changes to her diet, daily movement and workout routine. She shared an October 2 Instagram video documenting her progress and opened up about the habits that helped her along the way.
Reflecting on how far she has come, Navu wrote, “5 months ago, I couldn’t imagine being where I am today.” (Also read: Woman who lost 35 kg in 12 months shares simple weight loss tips she ‘stole’ from Reddit: Meal prep to post-dinner walks )
She said her progress was not about following a perfect routine every single day, but about staying consistent with the changes she had made. “I didn’t do it by being perfect, I did it by staying consistent, learning about nutrition, prioritising protein, tracking my calories, getting my steps in, and strength training,” she wrote.
Navu’s workout routine
The video shows Navu engaging in a variety of exercises rather than relying on a single form of workout. She can be seen skipping, doing step-ups and squats, cycling, walking on the treadmill and using the cross trainer.
Her strength-training routine includes exercises such as deadlifts and leg presses, while she also incorporates activities such as badminton and walking to stay active.
The variety in her routine comes alongside her focus on nutrition. Navu specifically highlighted prioritising protein and tracking her calorie intake as part of her approach to weight loss.
‘I’m still working toward my goal’
Despite losing 32 kg, Navu said she does not consider her journey complete. She continues to work towards her personal goal and hopes that sharing her experience will encourage others who may be at the beginning of their own fitness journey.
“I’m still working toward my goal, and I want to build a community of people who are ready to start their own journey with me,” she wrote.
Her post focuses on consistency rather than perfection, highlighting the role of nutrition, movement and strength training in her ongoing transformation.
