47kg lighter and wearing a size 12 – this mum’s transformation will blow you away

Absolutely amazing. That is what Michelle Anderson’s transformation is. 47kg lighter and wearing a size 12, Michelle says she has never been this size in her entire adult life…and is really beginning to feel awesome.

But how did she do it? Read on to find out…

47kg lighter and wearing a size 12 – this mum’s transformation will blow you away

At the end of Feb, Michelle had lost a total of 47.1kg.

Michelle was a size 18-20 her whole adult life, but can now proudly say that she wears a size 12 – what a great achievement for this Healthy Mummy!

“I am most happy about being a size 12 because I never have been. My whole 20s I was a size 18-20 and just seeing how far I have come and putting the two photos together got me very emotional,” Michelle said.

How she did it

Michelle exercises from the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge exercise hub 3 times a week, loving to work out with the resistance bands and Tabata.

“I love fast and effective workouts as a busy mum of three as I don’t always have a lot of time,” she says.

For Tabata all Michelle needs is a free four minutes! She also does weights at the gym two days a week and allows herself the weekends for recovery.

Michelle also credits meal planning for getting to a size 12.

“Meal planning and being organised is key for me, if I didn’t have meals prepped I would go for a less healthy option, if the healthy options are there I know I will succeed,” she says.

When it comes to a meal plan, Michelle likes to repeat meals and snacks and she doesn’t make seperate meals so it has to be something the rest of her family will eat too.

“Last night I made up 30 meals, and 60 snacks using only 6 main meal recipes and 2 snack recipes, and I prepped them for the week!” Michelle said.
