She has succeeded in losing a massive 20 kg with xtravaganza. A change she knows will last for the rest of her life. Sandra's best friend Josie told her about xtravaganza's weight loss concept. Together they have supported each other and realised how important it is to take care of your body, not just for your own sake, but also for your family. "I could sense that I was starting to get tired out by simple everyday tasks and my excess weight was affecting my knees. I want to have the energy to live in the here and now, but I'm also looking at a long-term lifestyle change because I want to be active when my two children grow up," says Sandra.

Now 20 kg lighter, Sandra jogs regularly, something which she really gets a kick out of doing. Sometimes she and her friend Josie go on morning walks with poles, an activity that also gives them quality time together. 
"We like to chat about life and everything that's going on, and combining our objectives with xtravaganza is perfect," says Sandra.

Mind training makes the differents
Sandra feels that the mind training is incredibly important when you lose weight.  That it's this which ensures you continue to achieve your goals for the rest of your life and it can also be applied to other areas of your life. "It's lovely to nestle into the massage chairs after training at the xtravaganza unit and getting to float away for a while. I usually visualise a place where my family and I are happy together, like a beach in Thailand. I then take this feeling home with me."

The group help each other
Something else that Sandra highlights is the energy she receives from all the other customers at xtravaganza. "The group meetings at the xtravaganza unit have been a big plus, I think. Being able to support each other for better or worse and knowing exactly what the others are going through. We all have similar experiences and no-one judges you. And what's more, it's absolutely fantastic to follow the successes of the other members of the group. We've got on so well that we could relax and have fun together," explains Sandra.

Sandra has noticed that her weight loss journey is even rubbing off on the people around her, especially her family.
"My husband says that he's almost as happy as me that I started the xtravaganza programme. And now he's also started to eat more healthily and be more active. The whole family really love xtravaganza's cookery books because they prove it's actually possible to make really tasty food that's good for you too. Even the helpers at the nursery my two-year-old son attends have noticed he's only interested in vegetables now," Sandra laughs.
