Indian actor Sameera Reddy recently shared a side-by-side picture of her weight loss transformation on Instagram. 

Sharing her fitness journey, the 43-year-old actor wrote, “One year ago I started to take my fitness seriously. I was 92 kgs. Today I am 81 kgs. But I always say more than the weight loss I’m grateful for the increase in my energy levels and agility.”

“I tend to lose focus but I’m aware so I get back on track immediately. Intermittent fasting has helped me with my late night snacking habit. I do a lot of inner work to stay away from negative thoughts and stay mindful of being happy with my body now. Choose a sport. It helps make fitness fun. Partner with a buddy who checks on your progress every week. Set realistic goals. Don’t aim to immediately drop the weight. Lastly don’t self-loathe. Nothing and nobody is worth that stress. Thank you for being my fitness buddy this past one year. Am looking forward with full determination to continue forward and keep this going with you,” she added.
