When I first started at Health Mates my primary focus was to lose weight, since starting I have lost 25kg going from 85kgs to 60kgs. Coming to the gym is now a part of everyday life for me and I constantly enjoy challenging myself and trying new things.
I don’t believe in “fad” diets or “quick fixes”, I don’t eat 7 meals a day or take supplements. I have found that having 3 good meals a day, eating healthy food from home is working well for me. I don’t restrict myself from going out on the weekends but I do always try to choose better options. (no Macca’s or KFC)
