What the Bathroom Scale Didn’t Tell Sam

What the Bathroom Scale Didn’t Tell Sam

Sam Thomas had worked in an office job for 2 years when she started to notice the weight gain. She was consuming a diet of unhealthy foods on a daily basis, she wasn’t happy about any of it but found she wasn’t motivated to make changes.

One particular morning, after weighing herself in at 96.4kg on her bathroom scale, Sam finally caved when best friend Suzie asked her for the thousandth time to join her at BFT Lower Hutt for an 8-week challenge. Before she knew it, Sam was signed up and ready to start the journey with two weeks to prepare herself before the challenge officially kicked off.

With a goal of 80kg, 33-year-old Sam successfully reached 81.6kg after 8 weeks of consistency, commitment and motivation.

The Start of Something New

All of Sam’s training was done at BFT Lower Hutt, every single day at 5.30 pm and Saturdays at 6 am. She also incorporated a lunchtime walk during workdays and stuck to a meal plan that was mostly about portion control and meal prep.

“I found the meal prep (weighed amounts for 3 meals and 3 snacks every day) really hard to conform to because I’m quite fussy,” she says.

“Going from eating chicken and chips every day or McDonald’s and no breakfast at all, it was a big change, but I stuck to it as much as possible, and Suzie helped me substitute things if I needed to.”

Never having stepped on an Evolt 360 body scanner before, Sam got some well-deserved results from her before and after Evolt reports.
