I had not weighed less than 60kg for about 15 years and didn’t think I was ever going to be able to drop that much, but the longer I kept going the more weight came off.

By the end of the program I had lost 10cm of my waist, 12cm of my hips, 9cm of each thigh and an unbelievable 10kg of bodyweight.

What started out as a sudden idea to sign up for a program that hopefully would lead to an improvement of my fitness and appearance, turned out to be a complete transformation of my body and lifestyle.

There were times when it was hard to keep going, I got sick, then the kids got sick and it all seemed too hard but with Hilde’s reassurance that no one is perfect and it’s about doing the best you can each day I just kept going. I noticed that as I changed and became happier so did my kids and husband, I finally realized that it’s not selfish to look after yourself and taking some time for me actually benefited the whole family.

The meal plans she made for me were perfect. They were balanced, there was no ridiculous deprivation of particular foods, it was enough to sustain my energy and it wasn’t constricting. The workouts were effective, tough but realistic and I immediately saw results. No kidding, IMMEDIATELY.
