I had reached a point in my life where I was deeply depressed and unhappy with my weight and level of fitness.

Walking to my car from the train station would leave me gasping for air and concerned I was close to a heart attack, I also stopped socialising and doing any physical activities. Something had to change inside of me and I finally got up the courage to do something about it and commenced Personal Training sessions with KTL in April 2016.

My main concern to begin with was increasing my fitness before tackling my eating. I thoroughly enjoy my one on one time with my Personal Trainer, Rohan, who has been extremely supportive and making sure I work hard while keeping my motivation levels up. Over the months we had some wins with increased fitness and minor weight loss.

After many discussions about my weight loss or lack of it, it was my diet was letting me down. Rohan recommended that I try the Body Transformation challenge to help me fix my eating and put the same discipline into my food as I do with my exercise. 



At the beginning of the challenge I told Rohan I wanted to lose 10 kgs over the 6 weeks and him replying maybe we should look at a kilo a week but if we got more then even better. I found the following 6 weeks a fantastic learning curve especially having to write down everything you eat and sending it to the team at KTL to provide support and feedback. It made me think twice about having the biscuit with my coffee, and made me prepare my meals each night for the following day. The first 2 weeks were a bit rocky but once I got the hang of it the next 4 weeks flew by. I was getting lots of compliments on how good I was looking and inspiring others to get on the fitness bandwagon.
 
Finally the 6 weeks were up and it was time to weigh in. I knew I had lost weight but was not sure on how much I did lose. I was desperately hoping to have reached my goal. It was a great surprise that I had lost 10 kgs over the challenge and It was the best feeling and I was so proud of myself for sticking with it and reaching the goal that I had set. The Body Transformation Challenge was exactly what I needed to change my eating habits and get on track to continue my weight loss journey.
 
My diet is a lot healthier now to what is was before the challenge. I do still have a "bad day" here and there but I won't beat myself up for it as long as I continue to go back to healthier eating and exercise. I haven't made it to my end goal yet but am on my way and looking forward to the next year ahead working out with the KTL team, my Trainer Rohan and being the best person I can be.
