Today I weighed myself after a very long time and I have lost in total 10.5 kg! I couldn’t believe it! I feel strong and so empowered. This weight loss has been so effortless and the weight doesn’t even matter anymore. And even though the last few weeks have been one very challenging time with sickness in our household, financial crisis, and just a few challenges I didn’t stop doing my 2 non-negotiables - moving my body and eating well. There have been times I just wanted to eat and reach out to junk food but with discipline and the mindset tools you’ve taught us, I choose better. So, thank you Danni and Bethany for everything you have thought me! I am truly grateful! I always say this and I say it again - group coaching has been one of the best things I have invested in myself!

I never thought I could have a lifestyle where I could enjoy eating without the guilt or being on a never-ending diet. I thought I joined Kickstart to loose weight but you taught me so much more. I’m thinking more positively, moving my body (and enjoying it), nourishing my body, drinking more water (way fewer migraines), and most importantly putting myself first so that I am the best version of myself and I am really loving how I feel because of doing these things. It has also had a flow-on effect and a positive impact on my relationships with the people around me. All up I lost 6kg over the 8 weeks. Never again will I go back to weighing daily as it’s not about the number on the scale it’s about all the habits I’m creating and how they make me feel. This is just the start and I can’t wait to continue this journey. Thank you again 🥰

I just wanted to say thank you for everything you’ve done for me. I realised today what a massive impact you've been on my life. I felt so comfortable and confident in my body going into see Courtney and then she made me feel like a frickin Queen. It was amazing and one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced as an adult. I really don't think I could've done that without you and it’s not just about the changes to my body that I've experienced, but the practices that you've helped me put in place, your mindset teachings, and learning that we can do hard things. I'm so glad that I started following your page and that I had the guts to sign up. I really like where I am and how I've gotten here. I'm so proud of myself with the number one best cheerleader of all time by my side, so thank you so much - from the very bottom of my heart!

I came into this with a few basic goals and wanted extra education and accountability. My goals coming into this were 1. Create a habit around daily exercise 2. Improve gut health/create good habits around nutrition (cut out packaged foods) 3. Fat loss/change in body composition. I am so proud of myself as I feel I have achieved all of them! Something I never thought of coming into this was MINDSET. I have always had a terrible narrative in my head that I’m not good enough and lacked confidence. A change in mindset has been by far the biggest thing I have gotten out of kickstart and I can’t thank you enough!!! I really wish we had a few more weeks… Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you are amazing. xx

My journey to get to kickstart has been one of serious neglect for myself and over-caring for all those around me. A serial exerciser and under-eater after leaving high school I quickly spiraled into starving my body and wanting to be a certain size. My husband and I welcomed our first baby in 2011 and in 6 years we welcomed our 5th. Five little people in 6 years meant my time and energy was fully consumed by my family and I let that be an excuse for not looking after myself. Exercise was always something I loved to do but food was my comfort and what I turned to when I was tired and overwhelmed. Kickstart has changed my perspective like nothing else I’ve ever done. I’ve crash dieted the past decade and hated the way my body has looked. I’ve been self-conscious and as the world’s biggest people pleaser and over thinker, I was constantly worried about what I looked like, said, and did. I am now beginning to accept my worth isn’t made up of other people’s opinions of me - or of the number on the scales. HOWEVER, it is ok to want better for my health (both physically and mentally) and a belief in my desire to be happier and more confident with my appearance. I’m healthier, lighter, jeans are fitting better 😉, happier, have more confidence at work and at home, and have made myself a priority for the first time in a long time. Thank you Danni, Brooke and Bethany for your guidance, tough love and support. I’m a kickstart junky now and there’s no way I’m back to before!
