✨ CLIENT SPOTLIGHT✨
Every new season in life brings its own set of challenges, and no one knows this better than my incredible client, Shari. Years ago she came to me at 36kgs with a goal to put on weight . She fought hard to put on weight, absolutely killed her gains season breaking the 50kg club!
Now, Shari has been presented with a new challenge, battling weight gain caused by medication and an ankle injury that derailed her gym progress. Despite these added complications, Shari has been smashing her new weight loss journey.
She’s lost 7kgs and a total of 11.3 centimeters across her waist, hips, legs, arms, and chest! Her resilience and determination has always inspired me. I’m proud of the fight you have in you to be the best version of yourself.

The Key to Maintaining Fat Loss After a Deficit Phase 🔑 🍏
If you’ve recently completed a calorie deficit phase and achieved your weight loss goals, congratulations!
However, as many people know, the real challenge often begins after you’ve reached your target weight.

Give your body the time it needs to adjust, and you’ll set yourself up for success in maintaining your weight loss!
