A personal trainer has revealed how she lost 20kg and managed to look 20 years younger in the process. 

Billie Steele, from Australia, has shared her miraculous journey on TikTok, revealing how she shed the weight and ‘reversed’ her age.

The 52-year-old – who said she used to look ‘pregnant’ – insisted there was no quick secret to losing weight other than investing in hard work.

According to Billie, her dramatic results were the combined product of a nutritional diet, weightlifting and ‘pretty much quitting alcohol’.

In one video she explained: ‘I was nearly 50 and l looked pregnant! I wasn’t happy. I wanted to change. Half my life was over and it was now or never.’

Billie said she began to ‘demand more’ from herself, honing in on building better mental and physical health, as well as prioritising ‘self love’. 

She advised that exercise and diet are ‘intrinsically linked’ and that focusing in on improving her health was the secret to ‘blossoming’ self-respect and love.

‘I don’t think you can have one without the other. When I gave myself what I needed I was in a prime position to give myself what I wanted.

‘I need to be healthy and I want everything that being healthy allows me – and one of those things is not looking pregnant anymore,’ she said.

Billie focused on eating in a calorie deficit, walking 10,000 steps a day and embarking on a weight lifting journey – and even recently began training for a half marathon in August.

In one video, the mother shared how having children had impacted her body over the years. 

Billie had maintained an incredibly trim figure after giving birth to her first child aged 28, but ended up putting on 32kg after her second when she was 35.

Determined to ditch the weight, she got back in the gym and had shed the majority of what she had gained after pregnancy by the time she was 46.

However, when she hit menopause two years later, Billie then found herself 20kg heavier.

She recalled: ‘I was 20kg overweight, I was in pain and discomfort. I was on anti depressants and strong pain killers, I was pre diabetic, I was in a toxic relationship, I was perimenopausal. 

‘l was drinking alone and to excess, l was eating loads of fast food & takeout, I wasn’t exercising, I was binge watching Netflix, I had no self care, self love or self respect.

She described the journey as less of one of ‘weight loss’ and more a ‘second chance at happiness’

As motivated as she ever had been, Billie got herself back in the gym and began focusing again on weight training, which lead her to lose the 20kg.

She described the journey as less of one of ‘weight loss’ and more a ‘second chance at happiness’.

After achieving her dream body, Billie turned her attention to her face, researching how she could improve her skin to cultivate a more youthful appearance. 

From there, she began applying suncream every single day to protect her from the damaging effects of the sun on her skin.

She also began prioritsing hydration, making a habit of glugging down at least two to three litres of water a day to maintain a hydrated look to her skin.

She also began getting her hair done professionally, getting ‘beauty treatments’.

She also ‘stopped watching all the news’ and instead started reading ‘inspirational’ books.

‘My 25-year-old daughter has helped me choose better make-up and is slowly teaching me how to apply make-up to suit my personality as a 52-year-old woman,’ the mother revealed. 

‘I’ve also had my make-up professionally done last year and that also helped with showing me what was possible.’
