How Sharon Lost 20kg in Menopause And Felt Better Than She Did in Her 30s!
At 52 years old, Sharon was a busy single mum to two teenage boys, newly engaged, and working as a speaker, author, coach, and therapist.
Her life was full, but something didn’t feel right.
“My life was busy and full – and weight was going on rapidly. Despite looking after myself, with the onset of menopause, my body was changing fast. I was frustrated. I had bloating, insomnia, low energy… and I didn’t feel like me anymore.”
Then came the turning point.
At her niece’s wedding in March 2024, Sharon saw photos of herself and barely recognised the woman staring back.
“I was the heaviest I’d ever been – 85kg. I knew something had to change.”
She had already found her dream engagement party dress, but it didn’t fit. With the date approaching, Sharon made a decision: she was done waiting for the “right time.”
Trying Everything – But Nothing Worked
Like so many women, Sharon thought she was doing everything right. She was having protein shakes, taking probiotics, and eating relatively gluten free – but nothing was shifting.
She tried keto. She tried intermittent fasting. She tried different “quick fixes.”
“Every attempt made me feel unwell. Keto gave me acne. Intermittent fasting without the right education left me feeling sick. Nothing worked – until I found Bec.”
The 3 Week Body Reset – During a House Move!
In April 2024, Sharon joined the 3 Week Body Reset. It was the exact same week she was moving house – but she didn’t let that stop her.
“There’s never a perfect time. Despite the chaos, I started. And I was shocked. The meals were healthy, delicious, and so easy. Bec explained everything so clearly. I actually looked forward to each meal.”
Even better? She realised the plan was actually saving her time.
“Every night, I knew exactly what I was cooking. During a house move, that structure was a lifesaver. It was faster and easier than what I was doing before.”
5kg Gone in 3 Weeks – With No Exercise
In just three weeks, Sharon lost 5kg – without dieting, without exercise, just by following the plan.
Sharon had a recurring foot injury from an accident 20 years earlier, meaning she couldn’t exercise at all. Her transformation proved what Bec always says: “Weight loss is 80% nutrition.”
“I had more energy, no bloating, I was sleeping better, and I felt like me again. And the best part? I slipped into my engagement party dress with confidence.”
A Lifestyle – Not a Diet
By July, Sharon had lost 9kg.
By October – 15kg.
By February 2025 – 20kg gone!
She hit her goal weight of 65kg, the lightest she’d been since before having her two boys nearly 20 years ago – and has kept it off for more than 7 months now.
“I never thought I’d feel this good in my 50s. This is the best I’ve felt since my 30s!”
The Tribe and Finding Joy in Cooking
After the Reset, Sharon joined the Health with Bec Tribe – and it quickly became her lifestyle.
“The monthly meal plans and bonus recipes felt like Christmas every month. My husband and I went from hating cooking to finding so much joy in it. My kitchen has become my zen space.”
Mindset: The Secret to Success
Sharon says her results weren’t just about food – they were about mindset.
Her best mindset tips?
Say “change” to stop negative thoughts
“Every time I thought something negative about myself, I’d say the word ‘change’ out loud. It broke the cycle instantly. This is one of the best things that I actually learnt from Joe Dispenza – the New York Times best-selling author, researcher of epigenetics, quantum physics, and neuroscience.”Look in the mirror and celebrate yourself
“I’d constantly tell myself, ‘You look amazing.’ It kept me focused and positive.”Trust the process
“I didn’t obsess over the scales. I trusted Bec’s plan and enjoyed the experience. That’s why it worked.”
Sharon explains:
“After the first week or two, I was sleeping better, less bloated, more confident. It became a domino effect – like a fast train I couldn’t stop. I felt too good not to keep going.”
Strength Through Life’s Hardest Moments
In November 2024, Sharon’s boys lost their dad suddenly. It was heartbreaking. But she stayed committed to eating the Health with Bec meals.
“The only thing I could control was my food. Because, eating this way gave me the energy and strength to support my boys through the hardest time of our lives. If I don’t feel good, I can’t be the best version of myself for my sons. This helped to keep me on track through the grief.”
A Wedding Day She’ll Never Forget
In March 2025, Sharon walked down the aisle at her wedding weighing 65kg – the lightest she’d been in nearly 20 years.
“I felt amazing in my dress. Confident, beautiful, strong. Despite the sadness we’d faced, it was the happiest day. I never thought I’d feel this way again.”
Sharon’s Final Words
“Our health is our greatest wealth. Without it, what do we have? This is hands down the best thing I’ve ever done for myself and my family. I will follow Bec’s principles for the rest of my life.”
“You’ve changed my life, Bec!”
Her advice to anyone considering starting?
“There’s no perfect time. Life is always going to throw curve balls – moving house, loss, busy-ness. You just have to choose to start, put your health first, and trust the journey. You’ll never regret it.”
