Like so many people, before they make the long-term lifestyle changes necessary for a transformation, she didn't have a clear plan. “I was always looking for a new diet and always trying new diet pills. I thought that I would lose my weight easily because I was doing cardio twice a week, which I though that was enough.”
Knowing that it was her dream to one day to be just like the women whose transformations she admired, Belinda made sure to spend time on Facebook browsing various fitness pages for motivation. While browsing one day she came across the Beastly Fit Facebook page. This page is dedicated to an incredible transformation; highly inspirational. “She had gone through a very good transformation, so I contacted her and asked where I could start, and what I could do to ensure a successful transformation,” explains Belinda.
That moment started it all. She then decided that she needed to take on a challenge as she needed a nudge and accountability. “I needed a push in the right direction,” she says, “so I decided to go on the Supashape Challenge. After reading a few reviews of people about this challenge I knew this was the right one.”
She feels the support she received was vital to her seeing through her transformation. She received a personalised diet and an online trainer as part of her challenge. “I have so many people to be thankful to. I must thank a lot of friends for their support. Professionally, Hennie Kotze was my online partner and Adri Delport was my personal trainer at BodyGuru gym in Montana.” This is testament to the often-repeated mantra that in order to succeed, one must build a good support network.
Motivation is key to sticking to a commitment and reaching any goal. For Belinda it was no different. She decided that she would fight for her dream, and that nothing could possibly get in her way. She practiced the mindset of being unbeatable. She learnt that this mindset was vital to her success. “Everything is possible if you set your mind to it! I strongly suggest that everyone try it. Go for your dreams and never give up – it is so worth it.”
However, Belinda's journey didn't end when the transformation challenge was over. That was just the beginning for her, who is now building more muscle while keeping her body-fat d

The experience has also created a new passion in Belinda's life. She has discovered that she loves to help other mothers achieve their dream bodies. “I can help other people in life, and that is such a huge privilege. I love that I can help mommies just like me who want to change but don't know where to begin. There are a lot of women who ask me how I did it, and I just love helping them!”
She goes on to explain: “Maintaining weight loss doesn’t just come from the gym and the plate sitting in front of you. It also comes from positive and healthy relationships, laughing, enjoying life, finding your passion and loving yourself.” It is this kind of holistic positivity that has kept Belinda on the path of her new life, and she hopes it will inspire other women to take the leap and make the change to achieve their dreams.
What Belinda recommends:
Favourite healthy food dish? Grilled chicken strips with a mixed salad
Favourite training routine? I love leg days, because I know all the hard work will pay off, but my cardio is my favourite session.
What are your must-use supplements? Supashape supplements, including Diet Whey, CLA, a fat-burner, and a multivitamin.
Top diet tip? First focus on your goal, see your end result, then the cravings will fade away. A tip that I received from my trainer was “if you have a craving take 1 teaspoon of peanut butter from the yellow cup”. It really works!
