Lost 21.7kgs and 23.43% of her body weight
In February 2024 I finally drew the line in the sand! I had struggled with my weight for years. I was in total denial – I thought I looked ok until I saw photos of myself, and then would promptly delete them. I had no self-control and would eat and drink whatever I felt like, telling myself you only live once! When in reality I felt so sick of myself, I hated being the fat jokey friend.
The crunch came when I did the Marilyn’s Brighton Jetty swim for The Cancer Council. I loved it and had a ball but when I saw the photos of me, I was horrified. I finally had the motivation and determination to do something about my weight.
I had often driven past Healthy Inspirations and knew of people who had attended, so I thought why not. I knew I couldn’t do it by myself and needed accountability. And the rest they say is history. I would never have believed it possible to lose the weight I have.
The encouragement, tips and support has been amazing from both the staff and fellow Healthies members who are now friends. I’ve lost the weight and found myself again. I feel so much better and have so much more energy. The joy of being able to shop for clothes not in the big girls’ section is fabulous.
I can’t recommend Healthy Inspirations highly enough and am sure I will become one of the long term attendees to keep me on the right track.
Top Tips that Worked for Me:
- Remove temptations from your pantry.
- Be organised with shopping.
- Walk lots!
- Record in the food planner consistently and take advice from Healthies coaches.
