How I lost 16kg - My honest weight loss journey

Eat Capture Share - a podcast for food bloggers

In today’s solo episode (171) of the Eat Capture Share podcast, I’m opening up about something I’ve been very nervous to talk about - my recent weight loss. Over the past 11 months, I’ve lost just shy of 16 kilos (that’s around 35 pounds). As someone who’s 1.52m tall, that’s quite a transformation - and it’s been a deeply personal journey.

I’ll be sharing what worked for me, how my relationship with movement and food evolved, and the mindset shifts that helped me reconnect with my body in a healthy, sustainable way. If you're looking to start your weight loss journey in 2026 or simply are curious how best to navigate working in food whilst maintaining a healthy lifestyle, this episode is for you!

Here's what else you can expect from today's episode...

• Why I was so hesitant to talk about weight loss publicly.
• How my lifelong relationship with movement shaped my body story.
• The three big turning points that led to gradual weight gain.
• The rock bottom moment I decided to make a change.
• How I approach movement as a busy entrepreneur.
• The surprising mindset shift that changed how I eat - for good.
• The quiet habits that made all the difference (spoiler: they had nothing to do with restriction).
