Lost 21kg and 18.69% Body Weight… So Far!

When I arrived in Australia, I noticed many people, especially older people, really enjoying their lives by being active and travelling with ease. That inspired me to do something about my own health because as I age, I want a healthy body so I can enjoy life with my husband. As a result, we decided to lose weight together.

I first saw Healthy Inspirations on Facebook and from what I saw and read, the program had everything I was looking for to help me lose weight. I joined (and my husband follows the nutrition program from home with me) and over the last 6 months we have both achieved great results. To date, I have lost 21 kilos and he has shifted 14 kilos! For both of us, our clothes are looser, we sleep better and, for me, my reflux has completely disappeared.

The nutrition plan and tips have made such a big difference to our lifestyle. Although the plan is easy to follow, we are of Mexican heritage and love our food! Even though we have always eaten lots of protein and vegetables, we realised we were eating much more than we needed. It was a big adjustment for us, but now we don’t need as much food to feel satisfied. As I am working, I like to spend time preparing meals, and most weeks I have meals ready to go. It saves time and makes following the plan so much easier for both of us.

The weekly 1:1 coaching has made a big difference. It helps me stay motivated and get back on track whenever I need it. All the coaches are very gentle and helpful, and each month I also enjoy having an in-centre body composition scan so I can actually see the changes happening inside and out.

I live locally and visit the centre most days. I find it fun and motivating being surrounded by people who all want to become healthier and stronger. I use the circuit equipment before the evening class and, in the beginning, it was hard because I had a very inactive lifestyle. But I work out at my own pace and now I am so much fitter and stronger. I look forward to continuing to build on that.

More than anything, I have found the community to be so welcoming. I have really enjoyed embracing the spirit of Healthy Inspirations and sharing the journey with other like-minded women.

Because I have lost weight, I feel more confident buying clothes now and, most of all, I am proud to know that I am investing my time and energy in becoming healthier. I am so much more confident and proud that I have been consistent and am working towards my goal of an active and healthy lifestyle.
