After losing 17.6 kilos with eTools, Kylie is the healthy mum she's always wanted to be. She completed a 15km fun run and can zip into her size 10 wedding dress from 12 years ago with ease!
I was a slim bride
I had always been pretty trim, but after marrying my husband and having two daughters, my weight slowly crept up and I'd become a size 16. I wanted to fit into nice clothes and be a healthy mum, but I lacked the confidence to do something about it.
A friend in need
My friend Tammy mentioned she was thinking about joining Weight Watchers meetings and asked me if I wanted to go too. At first I thought, 'I could never do that!', but after more thought on setting a good example to my husband and six and nine year old daughters - I decided to give it a try.
After my first meeting
I realised that I had to take a serious look at my lifestyle! My husband often brought home cream buns after work and we'd tuck into them. I also noticed that I'd been doing almost no exercise. After that first meeting I left feeling empowered, thinking, 'Yep this is for me!'. I made a personal goal that I would fit into my size 10 wedding dress from 12 years ago.
All the family
At first it was hard for my family adapt to my lifestyle change. First of all I told my husband to stop bringing home cream buns! I started cooking healthier recipes and bought a treadmill so I 'had' to use it - and started walking five days a week for 20 minutes. Soon after my girls started paying attention to healthy foods too and would often chirp, 'Mum, have you thought about the POINTS® values in that?'.
eTools was important to my success
During my weight loss, I subscribed to eTools for inspiration. I loved reading the hundreds of recipes and entering my own into the Recipe Builder. I enjoyed reading other people's stories and seeing how they did it and what helped them succeed. I entered my weight every Wednesday morning and loved the graph plotting my weight loss. It made me see just how far I'd come.
Reaching Goal!
After six months I stood on the scales and burst into tears. I had finally reached my Goal weight! I was so grateful to my Leader and Tammy. Even my husband was impressed when he zipped me up in my old size 10 wedding dress that fitted perfectly!
My lifestyle has changed in so many ways for the better. Tammy and I completed a 15km beach walk for the Leukemia Foundation, which is something I thought I could never do. I've found my confidence again now I'm a healthy mum who can give her energetic daughters a run for their money!
