Fitness influencer Tanushree has a huge following on social media. She regularly posts videos about weight loss and body fat loss. But when she was just 25 years old, she found herself struggling with her weight and self-confidence. At one point, the influencer weighed 85 kilos and felt trapped in her own body, often mistaken for someone much older. This harsh reality became a turning point, sparking her determination to reclaim her health and confidence.Tanushree has worn many hats in life—a daughter, wife, mother, sister, and friend—but above all, she is a determined woman who transformed her life. Her six-year journey from being overweight and unfit to becoming a fitness enthusiast and influencer is a testament to resilience and dedication.

Her transformation journey

In an Instagram post, she once revealed that since childhood, she was a “healthy” baby, but as she entered her 20s, her weight became a source of concern and self-doubt. After getting married at a young age and becoming a mother, postpartum challenges, including hormonal imbalances, led to stress, depression, and a lack of confidence. She yearned to break free from unhealthy habits and an unfulfilling routine.

With a vision of building a lean physique and muscle strength, she started her fitness journey. Unlike others who turn to gyms or costly fitness programs, Tanushree took a simpler, more accessible approach. Armed only with household items and a belief in herself, the young mother began her fitness journey at home. With no prior experience in exercise or dieting, she started small, doing basic workouts and incorporating items like water bottles as weights. Her meals were centred on traditional, protein-rich Indian foods, including cheela, soya chunks, paneer, eggs, beans, and lentils.

Balancing her responsibilities as a homemaker and mother, Tanushree made time for herself—just one hour each day. Over time, she added cardio and weight training to her routine, learning through trial and error. The progress was slow, but her determination never wavered. After six years of consistent effort, Tanushree lost 37 kg, dropping to 48 kg and transforming her life.

Her journey wasn’t just about physical weight loss. Tanushree developed mental resilience, overcoming self-doubt, societal judgment, and physical exhaustion. Her incredible transformation eventually caught attention on social media. Her Instagram page became a hub of inspiration, where she candidly shared her struggles, including hormonal imbalances post-pregnancy and the stress of her daily life.
