Belinda Myers, 31, was a self-confessed junk food addict. Now this determined mother of two from Albury, NSW, has made an amazing transformation — she’s lost more than 20kg and is completely addicted to working out.
“It was about two-and-a-half years ago when I decided it was time to lose weight. At my sister’s wedding — where I was matron of honour — I felt like a hippo in a tutu in my strapless corset dress.
“Soon after I went to the doctor, and was told my cholesterol was too high. I just thought ‘that’s it’ and joined Weight Watchers.
“I was addicted to junk food and my husband Chris, 31, our boys Jacob, six, and Sean, four, and I would have it probably four nights a week. These days we only have it on Friday nights as a treat — and the kids really look forward to it!
“Now for breakfast I have some toast or Weight Watchers cereal and cup of tea. For lunch I’ll have a huge salad roll instead of hot chips and for dinner, we love pasta — but I’ve changed the way I cook it. I use more tomato and vegetable-based sauces rather than creamy ones.
“I love working out and am on my exercise bike every morning. I also walk, run and do weight training at home.
“I’ve been at 57kg for at least six months and I’ll never go back.”

Belinda’ s hot diet tip “Weight training! It’s made such a big difference to me. Once I got my weight down, working out with weights changed my body shape — it also makes everyday life easier because you’re that much stronger.”
