Eating the right foods and exercising can be a hard battle in both situations and mentally and physically challenging on our body.

I know this, from experience and from the clients I have worked with over the years. She added: "But there is light at the end of the tunnel, you can reach your goals and live the lifestyle you desire to be happy, healthier and stronger." Her message was applauded by followers including her Married At First Sight husband Franky Spencer, who she split from after the social experiment but remained good friends.
