How Kathy lost 11 kg & found her energy

"...somebody asked me if I had found the fountain of youth"

Kathy Turner from Bunbury in WA shares her journey towards feeling fit at 40.

"The other day somebody asked me if I had found the fountain of youth. My reply was I found Healthy Inspirations.

I lost 11 kg and 48 cm off of my body frame in the first 8 months of joining the program. I have gone from a size 14 to a size 10 in clothes.

My mission was to try to help repair my body of its ever-increasing aches and pains. I also wanted to reduce the rise in body weight that was slowly increasing with each passing year.

I am a wife and mother of teenage children and was 12 months away from turning 40 when I joined. I was feeling rather weighed down and despondent as to what prospects the future would bring.

"...the centre was alive with women"

When I joined Healthy Inspirations I found the centre was alive with women all wanting the same as me. Women of all ages and sizes were working hard to find that new, healthier and fitter person within.

When the food program was explained, I knew it was a realistic approach to eating. I felt relief that it was a lifestyle change my whole family could embrace. And I felt confident I had the knowledge and support to be able to implement this change without much sacrifice to their individual likes and dislikes.

I was eager to learn the gym circuit. I had never been to a gym before, and never thought of myself becoming a gym bunny. But as the weeks progressed, I relished in my newfound strength.

I was totally amazed after only a few weeks how my body was starting to mend its own aches and pains.

"I feel fantastic"

Before Healthy Inspirations, I dreaded the big 4-0. But thanks to my friends there and all of my hard work, turning 40 will be exciting. I feel fantastic. I'm fit and healthy. I'm more confident and bursting with energy. I have achieved what I set out to do!"
