GERDA’S STORY | IT STARTED WITH A CHOICE
Sometimes it takes a health scare to make us stop and realise that something needs to change.
For Gerda, that moment became a turning point.
She made the decision to put her health first not just to lose weight, but to change the way she lives.
And what makes her journey so special is that she understands one of the biggest things she needs is accountability.
She keeps showing up.
She tracks her steps.
She keeps a food journal.
She is working on drinking more water.
She is walking more.
She is training when she can.
She is making better food choices.
She weighs herself weekly, but she doesn’t rely on the scale alone.
And she keeps coming back for her consultations and InBody assessments.
Why?
Because the number on the scale only tells us one small part of the story.
Her InBody assessments allow us to look deeper at what is happening inside her body changes in body fat, muscle mass, visceral fat and overall body composition.
And the changes have been incredible.
Since January:
Weight: 124.5 kg → 107.6 kg
Body fat mass: 67.7 kg → 55.9 kg
Body fat percentage: 54.3% → 51.9%
Earlier in her journey, she had already lost 24.4 cm in measurements.
That is not just a number on a scale.
That is months of showing up.
Months of making better choices.
Months of building habits.
And most importantly, months of choosing her health.
One of the things that made me especially proud during our recent consultation was hearing Gerda talk about how her relationship with food has changed. She is starting to choose foods because they make her feel good and support her health, rather than simply because she wants them in the moment.
That is the change we want.
Not a quick diet.
Not perfection.
A lifestyle that she can continue.
Gerda’s journey is also a reminder that progress isn't always about doing everything perfectly.
It’s about having someone hold you accountable, checking in, learning from what happened, making adjustments and then showing up again
We are going to keep working on reducing body fat, supporting muscle, improving her health and building habits that will stay with her long after the number on the scale reaches her goal.
Gerda, I am so proud of you.
Keep choosing yourself and your health. ❤️
If you have been waiting for the “perfect time” to start looking after yourself…
Maybe you don't need the perfect time.
Maybe you just need to make the first choice.Simone du Plessissimmis_health
