From 125kg to 85kg: My Journey to Becoming Your Weight Loss Navigator

Welcome to my story—a journey of transformation, resilience, and rediscovery. I’m Deby, your weight loss navigator, and I believe that every woman deserves to feel confident, healthy, and vibrant in her body, especially after 40.

My Transformation Story

The Beginning

Growing up as the “skinny mini,” weight was never a concern for me. I danced from a young age, and my slim figure was simply part of who I was. Even through university as I transitioned into womanhood and developed natural curves, I never worried about weight management.

The Turning Point

Everything changed after the birth of my second child in 2010. Unlike my first pregnancy, where morning sickness prevented weight gain, my second pregnancy was different. With anti-nausea medication allowing me to eat without discomfort, I didn’t realize how much weight I was gaining until I stepped on the scale after giving birth and saw 119kg.

The Struggle

What followed was a 14-year battle with weight that affected every aspect of my life. I tried everything—pills, teas, fat burners—but nothing provided lasting results. The cycle of losing weight only to regain it became my reality. I lost my self-esteem and confidence, hiding behind loose clothing and avoiding cameras. I developed a serious phobia of scales, experiencing anxiety attacks at the mere thought of weighing myself.

The Health Wake-Up Call

The consequences weren’t just emotional. I developed high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and chronic knee pain—all related to obesity. When both my mother and a close friend expressed concern about my health, I knew something had to change. But the questions remained: What do I do? Where do I start? How do I pick myself up?

The Moment of Change

On May 1st, 2024, while scrolling through WhatsApp, I saw a post from a coach promoting a one-month weight loss program. It was my kairos moment—the perfect, opportune time for change. I reached out, and that decision changed everything. Four coaches later, I had lost 40kg and reclaimed not just my body, but my entire sense of self.

My Flagship Program: The Emergence by Deby

The concept behind “The Emergence by Deby” comes from my understanding that obesity often buries a woman’s true self—her confidence, self-esteem, and joy. Our program helps you emerge from that buried state, awakening to a new chapter of life where you feel vibrant, confident, and fully alive.
