Hello, I’m Kathy, and I’ve lost 16.4kgs on The Lady Shake!
I started The Lady Shake when I was 80kgs and feeling sluggish, unmotivated and unhealthy. I knew I needed to do something, but I didn’t know where to start.
My journey from gaining weight to losing weight started about 10 years ago, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 32. It was really scary and the treatments I did to treat the cancer caused me to put weight on. Over the past 10 years I’ve been on preventative medication so that the cancer wouldn’t return, and that also caused me to gain weight.
After tossing and turning with the idea of weight loss for years, I finally decided to do a blood test about 12 months ago, which told me that I was heading towards diabetes (both of my sisters have type 1). My cholesterol was also high, I had a fatty liver, and my iron levels were low. This was a huge wake up call for me, and I knew I needed to do something!
I actually stumbled across The Lady Shake after watching an ad on TV and decided to give it a go. I bought my first bag in October 2022 and haven’t looked back since!
My go-to bundle is definitely the Buy 3 Get 1 Free, and my absolute favourites are Choc Mint, Chocolate and Honeycomb Choc Crunch. I also love getting the Choc Berry Bars and Chocolate Super Greens. I’ve always been a bit of a chocoholic and they’ve really helped curb that chocolate craving. I now rarely have any other type of chocolate anymore. I recently tried Vanilla and Banana for the first time, and am going to start adding those to my rotation too.
When I first started The Lady Shake I made myself the big goal of losing 20kgs, but knew I needed to make small goals of 5kgs increments to achieve this. I’m so close to 60kgs now, and finding the last 5kgs the hardest to lose! I think I’m getting close to the weight my body wants me to be, so naturally is just slowing down.
The majority of my weight loss has been without any regular exercise because I have osteoarthritis in my lower back which causes a lot of pain in my feet. In the last three months however I’ve felt really motivated to exercise, and so I bought an exercise bike! I’ve been really enjoying getting on the bike every day.
I recently got a blood test again to track my progress and found that my fatty liver has totally reversed, my cholesterol has dropped and basically everything has gone back in to the ‘normal’ range. Which has been the best news of all!
With my newfound love for the exercise bike, I’ve been pairing it with this daily routine,
Breakfast: whichever flavour I feel like, with a handful of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and frozen mango
- Morning snack: an apple
- Lunch: any shake I’m in the mood for!
- Afternoon snack: a Lady Bar – I love the Choc Berry!
- Dinner: basically anything incorporating meat and veggies
- Supper/dessert: A hot chocolate made with skim milk from the Chocolate Super Greens
Since starting The Lady Shakes I’ve seen an enormous health benefit, and now I have the energy to run around with my grandkids and the children I work with. It’s so great. I feel so much healthier and overall better in myself – I'm starting to love the way I look and have had so many people comment on my appearance, which has been a major confidence booster!
My advice to others thinking of starting The Lady Shake is to just take the first step. You won’t be disappointed, and you’ll feel so much healthier and happier within yourself.
