Catherine Sheds her Baby Weight

My name is Catherine. I have a strong dance and athletic back-ground and I have always been active, energetic, slim and healthy. At the end of 2010 I learned I was pregnant. All was going well until around the last four months of my pregnancy where I gained an enormous amount of weight. Although during my pregnancy I exercised by swimming and walking, I still gained a mammoth total of 40kg by the time I was ready to give birth.

Well….I have been remiss with my updates…but there’s a reason why….

Don’t get me wrong, I did love updating everyone with my progress….but something drastic happened towards the end of my treatments that truly changed the way I feel about my body….

Week 2:  My first week of HYPOXI

Hey Femmefile readers, I am a bit late on my post, but I did complete 3 sessions last week and I am beginning my first for this week, so I will repost on Friday. To help give some context, I took a photo at the studio today of what the machine looks like… Now,  before I go into detail about my HYPOXI sessions, let me explain my first appointment.

WEEK 1: AN INTRODUCTION OF MYSELF & THE START OF MY HYPOXI JOURNEY

My name is Maggie* and I am overweight. It feels like I’m in an AA meeting saying that, but there is no denying – I weigh some 90 odd kilos which is the heaviest I’ve ever been. I recently lost my baby daughter at birth and the pain of her loss was almost unbearable.  Needless to say, I used food as a meachnism to cope with it.
