Woman Details 30kg Weight Loss Journey, Emphasizes Natural Approach
A coach shares her experience of transforming her body and improving her confidence through consistent, natural methods.
Cosmina "Cosi" Naum, 36, has detailed her journey of losing 30 kilograms (approximately 66 pounds) of body fat through natural means, a process that significantly boosted her confidence and self-perception.
Naum, who stands at 158cm (5'2"), reached a peak weight of 80kg (176 lbs) and wore a size 12, feeling it was the heaviest and most uncomfortable she had ever been. She recounted a lifelong belief that she had poor genetics, influenced by observing women in her family struggle with their weight. "For my entire life, I held a strong belief that I had bad genetics, partly because I'd watched women in my family struggle with weight," she said.
Her initial efforts led to a weight loss of about 10kg, but she then plateaued around 70kg. This phase was marked by struggles with balance and binge eating, which she attributes to not fully understanding nutrition. Eventually, she realized that sustainable progress was more about weekly consistency than daily perfection.
Her biggest progress came after becoming more consistent and seeking professional coaching for both nutrition and training. This guidance helped her understand that consistent tracking of her weekly calorie intake, macronutrients, and protein was key, allowing her to enjoy food without restriction.
Naum now advocates for women to first understand their genuine motivations for weight loss, ensuring the drive comes from within rather than external pressures or comparisons.
She now feels younger and more confident than she did in her twenties, a sentiment she wishes to share with other women.
