Kathy Lost 20kg On The Lady Shake

We have an update on Kathy's incredible journey, but be sure to check out her first story here!

My name is Kathy and I started using The Lady Shake in October 2022. My reasons for starting were both medical and personal. I was heading towards type 2 diabetes, and recent blood tests showed that I had high cholesterol and a fatty liver. I really didn't like the way I looked, I felt sluggish, and had no energy to play with my grandkids.

Recent blood tests have shown I am no longer heading towards diabetes, my cholesterol is in the healthy range, and my fatty liver has totally reversed. I now like the way that I look, I can actually see my toes! I just want to tone up, especially in the stomach and arms.

I had a number of plateaus (lasting months) but continued to persevere with the shakes and healthy eating, and finally the scales started to move again. I had no energy at the start and no inclination to exercise, but 9 months ago I wanted to start.

I get on the exercise bike daily, and in the last few months I've added some toning exercises to my regime - I actually enjoy exercising now. I also have the energy at work to get through the day, I'm always very busy as I work at a specialist school.

My Routine:

• 6:30am - I drink the Pine Passionfruit BOOST.
• 7:00am - I have a shake for breakfast, whatever flavour I feel like with a handful of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and frozen mango - this is also my morning snack.
• 12:45-1:30pm - I have whatever shake I feel like for lunch.
• 3:30pm - I have a snack if I'm hungry. Either a Lady Bar, a protein bar or a Noshu bar. 
• 5:30pm I have my dinner, whatever I decide to cook.
• 6:30pm - I sometimes have The Lady Shake Mousse.
• 7:30 - I have a hot Chocolate Super Greens with milk.

At the moment I'm continuing with two shakes a day as it's convenient, and if I have something else, I find that I'm not hungry or feel like dinner (this way I'm getting all the nutrients I need).

My go-to bundle is the Buy 3 Get One Free. My favourite shakes are (omg so many), all the Chocolate ones, Passionfruit and Mango, and Banana (with one scoop Chocolate, one scoop Banana). I also mix and match the flavours.

I am so ecstatic that I’ve achieved my ultimate goal and I’m determined to keep it. It has been pre-kids (33 years) since I was this weight and I really can’t believe I’ve managed it. I started at 80kg and had a goal of becoming 60kg. Right now I’m 59.5kg – 20.5kg and 71.6cm gone. 

My family have been very supportive and both family and friends constantly comment on how great I look. I think my only advice is to ‘just do it, you won’t regret it’. Persevere, especially through the plateaus. It’s a hard journey (not easy like putting the weight on), but so worth the investment in not only physical health, but mental health too. 

There's been quite a number of memorable experiences but a couple that standout are the first time people noticed the weight loss, and also fitting into size 10 clothes (I was in high school the last time I wore that size). I think I’m nearing a size 8 now.

I have recently gotten The Lady Shake recipe book and have tried a couple of recipes, and I’ve liked them all so far. I’ve made the Pumpkin, Feta & Spinach Rolls, Singapore Noodles, Chow Mein, and the Sweet & Sour Chicken. I’ve also made and love the Choc Bounty Smoothie, Snickers Smoothie, Cherry Ripe Smoothie, and Mango Weis Smoothie.

I hope this gives inspiration to others, I feel very honoured to do so.
