“For  most of my life I have been cuddly and have tried various ways of changing my shape. I did have success with one of those, but now that I am older, it does not seem to work so well. Plus many of these organisations are trying to push their ‘snack’ products which are hugely overpriced. Then about four years ago, I developed arthritis in both my knees. The extra weight that my knees were supporting, did not cause the condition, but certainly impacted on my mobility. So as to convince the surgeon that I was a needy patient, I lost nearly 20 kilos before having knee surgery about 3 years ago. But with 2 new knees, the bad habits returned as did the excess baggage. So I just bought bigger clothes, avoided mirrors and of course the scales.”

  Then I noticed that one of my friends was just getting slimmer and slimmer. And that is when I was introduced to Brigitte. Having a personal trainer is one of my best choices ever. The one on one is terrific, as is not having to queue and wait, but Brigitte’s positive and passionate being, is the tops. I look forward to my weekly sessions and would never dream of opting out. I also love checking my progress online and seeing the kilos and centimetres about me.
