Aussie designer's incredible wedding makeover
A fashion designer has shared the results of her pre-wedding makeover, two days before she’s set to walk down the aisle.
Sabo Skirt founder Thessy Kouzoukas set herself a challenge seven months ago to lose 13kg before her big day, after giving birth to her baby daughter, Zani, 11 months ago.
“Well guys, I did it!!! I am getting married in 2 days and I am so happy that I’ve reached my goal of 53kgs,” Thessy wrote to her 144,000 followers.
The photo on the left shows Thessy at 66kg and on the right at 53kg. In total, she’s lost 23kg since giving birth to Zani last August.
“I’m so proud of the effort I put in, the challenges I faced and the obstacles I overcame. I am so thankful for all of you who encourage me daily and even more to the girls who joined me for the last 8 weeks of my journey,” she wrote.
“I hope I inspired women and in particular mums who haven’t felt like themselves and needed the motivation to return to your normal state (or even fitter than before like I have become!) .. the sacrifice and discipline needed to achieve this is extremely challenging but the reward from the outcome is a feeling I’ll never forget.
“If you’re feeling uninspired, please know that it IS possible and the better version of yourself may be waiting around the corner if you’re prepared to put in the work.”
Strict routine
Thessy welcomed her baby daughter, Zani, in August and she weighed 75kg at the end of her pregnancy.
While her journey may not be for everyone, over the past seven months Thessy has been to the gym six days a week and only had two cheat meals in her bid to reach her goal weight.
She had to work extremely hard to get to where she is, and spent months ‘fighting’ with her partner, Georgio Batsinilas, over not wanting to go for runs, but ‘always end up smashing it’.
“I’m so proud of myself, losing a lot of weight is never something I’ve had to do in my life,” she wrote on Instagram.
“The weight I put on in pregnancy STUCK to me. It’s been such a mission getting it off, but this morning I weighed myself and I have finally reached 59.7kg which is only 6.5kgs away from my end goal.”
“Every day I complete one hiit and one resistance session on the app either at the gym or at home. We’re shredding for the wedding baby.”
