It helped her lose 23 Kg of weight. She was quoted as saying:
"I breastfed both my children for a year, which kept my appetite high and energy levels low. It wasn't until a year ago that I really committed to exercise and a proper diet, shedding a total of 23 kgs since then. I still haven't reached exactly where I wanted to in terms of my weight and inch size, but I am sure I will get there in the near future."
