Rowing workouts

I was fighting a losing battle! In order to be able to withstand the high strains of training and competitions I needed to eat a high calorific diet. I also needed to take many vitamin mineral and nutrient supplements. Unfortunately, despite being incredibly active, my weight increased and it was a continual fight between getting enough calories and trying to control my weight, and usually I lost!

 

I suffered from the yo-yo effect on each diet I tried…

After I finished competing, we started a family and whilst pregnant my weight increased dramatically. After each pregnancy, I found it increasingly hard to control my weight. I am a very disciplined person and every diet I tried I followed to the letter. However, like many people, I discovered that each time I

finished a diet the weight would come crashing back. Within a few weeks, I’d weigh more than I had at the start of the diet! The quality of my life decreased and I started not wanting to leave the house or be seen. I felt a mess and didn’t know what to do.
