In January this year I turned 30 years old and realised that I was slowly killing myself. I decided I wanted to get healthy and lose weight so I could be around to see my children and grandchildren grow up.

What is your motivation for losing weight?

To see my kids grow up. Also to be fitter and healthier and be able to buy normal-size clothes.

What is your weight-loss method?

I joined a gym after I lost the first 8 kg. I go three days a week and do weights and a little cardio. I also walk six days a week for at least 30 minutes, and have walked over 600 km around my neighbourhood in the last 6 months!

What obstacles have you encountered while losing weight?

The only obstacles I encountered were the ones that I put up myself. I had to get past the 'diet' and realise this was a change for life! My family have been great and are all for the healthier eating and exercise.

What tips do you have for others who are trying to lose weight?

Don't give up! No matter how hard you think it might be, carrying excess weight and being unfit is much harder. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

How do you feel now that you're achieving success?

Fantastic! I enjoy exercising and getting out and celebrating each day.

How have the products or services offered by CalorieKing.com.au helped you to lose weight?
