Meet Rose, Our New Year Challenge Winner: 17kg Down With a Baby Who Still Wakes All Night

Meet Rose, Our New Year Challenge Winner: 17kg Down With a Baby Who Still Wakes All Night

Rose had tried every plan going before she found TRANSFORM. Six months in she is lighter, stronger, and  more importantly: she is the version of herself her kids get to grow up with.

She started on the 28-minute workouts, fitting them around a three year-old and a baby. No gym, no childcare, no 5am alarms.

"I was back to square one"

Rose has struggled with her weight for as long as she can remember. She'd tried everything, and just as she started finding a rhythm, she had her babies.

"I was in a slump physically and mentally," she says. "I had zero energy or drive to put myself first and wasn't eating intentionally at all."

She joined Transform in September last year, when her second baby was four months old. She needed a change to start feeling better in herself again.

Here is what changed, in her words.

"You'll be surprised at what you can achieve if you put yourself first, for a fraction of the day."

What actually changed

The first week felt like most first weeks: a burst of motivation, meal prep, training, sticking with it. What surprised Rose was what happened when that motivation faded.

"By then I'd already fallen into a solid routine where I can just continue without thinking about it."

On rushed days, a workout can be as quick as 15 minutes. Her whole family loves the meals, and her three-year-old loves joining in the workouts.

The scales tell one part of Rose's story. Her daughter tells the rest.


"My daughter can see the difference. Being able to keep up with my children and be the most present, active parent is what it's all about."


Rose's tips if you're thinking about starting


  1. 
            
    
              
              
    Plan meals with prep in mind.

    Just start.
    
            
    "You don't even need an exercise mat."
  3. 
            
    
              
              
    Count the win, not the perfect day.
    
            
    Her baby still wakes all night, but she stopped letting a broken night erase the week.
