Meet Mudgeeraba's Biggest Loser ...
Or as we'd rather say - the Biggest Winner !

When I was born I was a cuddly baby that grew into a chubby child and then quite easily turned into an overweight teenager. Being from a large family of varied sizes, I never really had an issue with my body size.

By the age of 20 I had my first child and I was fluctuating between size 14-16. Over the next eleven years our family had celebrated the birth of our 6th child, but I was no longer celebrating as by then I had been wearing size 22 clothing.

Being 1.75m I felt I could carry extra weight, but my weight gain was starting to get out of control. I had gradually put on the weight, until I reached over 100kg mark...

In Mid 2007 I lost 15kg so that I could have hip surgery. Three months later, I had gained that 15kg back and added another 3kg! By November 2007 I was 118kg and I decided enough was enough. I had to make some changes. I started a healthier lifestyle and by February 2008 managed to lose 15kg and I felt great. I continued to lose weight through my new lifestyle but after few months my weight loss stalled. Nothing I tried worked, so I decided to try the Cambridge Diet, promoted at Why Weight Body Toning, to kick start my weight loss again.

Working full-time with 5 children at home I was very busy so the ease of the Cambridge Diet.

At 103.8kg I joined Why Weight. The team continued to encourage me with my weight loss journey and their support motivated me to persevere, they regularly weighed and measured me to monitor my results. Within the first month I had lost more weight plus 7 inches, this was amazing!!! At Why Weight I also found an excercise I enjoyed and I could do.

By November 2008, one year after I started my weight loss journey, I now weigh 72kg and have lost a total of 46kg, 74 inches (187cm) !!! and have gone from size 22 to a size 10! I would have never been able to do it alone, the team at Why Weight have encouraged me every step of the way.

When I meet friends I haven't seen for a while, they have to look twice, it is funny to see the epxression on their faces, absoute amazement. My kids tell me how beautiful I look, I have so much more energy now, I love my new body, and my new life. With the support from Why Weight I am no longer an unhappy yo-yo dieter but have transformed to a healthier and happier lifestyle.

To Kylie and her team - a sincere and very heartfelt thank you.
