“That was within the range I should be for my height. But what helped me was the fact I would set 5kg at a time. I felt a great sense of achievement and then would focus on losing the next 5kg.”
Luppino hit a few plateaus and some old injuries tested her commitment to the program.
“What I found to be really important was not to stop exercising completely. If I had a sore shoulder I’d walk and not do boxing but then when I had a sore hip I did less walking and more boxing.”
As well as trying intermittent fasting, Luppino has found she can still eat the foods she loves – with a few tweaks.
“I have learnt so much about healthy eating through TRM ... I love that I can still eat bolognese or marinara by substituting the spaghetti for zucchini noodles.”
Now 65kg, Luppino says she has new healthy habits that she’ll keep for life.
