6 Months weight loss journey

At the beginning of 2023, in the hype of resolutions and in search of purposeful endeavor, we thought it would be a good idea to set out on a journey to lose 6kg’s each within 6 months. It seemed like a good challenge for us and a great feat if we succeed. Little did we know what a grueling adventure it would be, as it tested our commitment, patience and resilience….in fact it tested everything we had. But we feel that it was worth the time and effort.

On the 6 months weight loss journey, we followed a formal and structured approach to losing weight, we logged and blogged every stage of the process. At the end of the 6 months, Tshepi lost the 6kg as planned whilst Kat came-in a bit short of the target. The process we followed is one of the many approaches to tackle weight loss, it is suitable if a person intends to lose weight quickly but we feel that it can be hard to sustain(…well, it was not sustainable for us), but it is another way to lose weight.

Each week for 6 months we logged how the week went, what we learned and what we planned for the next week. The blogs are full of insight, intrigue, a rainbow of emotions and even laughter to an extent, but most importantly this is real. Check out the journey below for yourself and let us know what you think of the journey.
