The two things these clients have in common are “realistic weight loss expectations” and “long term success”. The lady who dropped 20kg was ultra committed and got rid of every bit of alcohol and bad food; she never missed a session and needed the other two days in the week off to recover. She went on to drop another 10kg over the next few months and has kept the whole 30kg off for years. The lady who only dropped a couple of kilos worked a 60 hour week and wasn’t overweight, so she didn’t have much to drop in the first place. She had three kids and she hadn’t exercised for 20 years since high school, so training 5 days a week like the other lady was an unrealistic expectation. She may have only lost a couple of kilos but 5 years on she still sees her Personal Trainer once a week without fail. She feels 10 years younger and is a whole size smaller and has a healthy glow. In the same 5 year period her friends have tried countless diets only to drop 5kg and put 6kg back on and wind up close to 10kg heavier across the same 5 year period.
