ABOUT ME/MY STORY
HABIBA NESSA - MY TWO TRANSFORMATIONS, TWO BABIES, ONE MISSION
Hi, I’m Habiba - mum of 2 boys under 4 & someone who has now lost 30kg+ twice after battling weight gain.
My journey didn’t start perfect. It started with tears, struggles, low confidence, and moments where I didn’t even recognise myself.
From being a petite size 8 girl, after my first pregnancy, I gained over 30kg and struggled through postpartum depression, sleepless nights, all whilst balancing life with a reflux baby. I piled on a lot weight from pregnancy + postpartum where I felt disconnected with my body. I felt stuck in a body I didn’t feel connected to. Until one day I decided I deserved better for my own physical/mental health, my own sanity - for myself and for my babies. I lost every single kg within 6 months of dedication. I went from 92kg to 60kg.
Then in 2024, I got pregnant again. I was terrified I’d go backwards… I did. All the weight piled back on - or even more I thought. I felt completely defeated. It took a toll on my mental and physical health. This time, it was harder to fight back - especially with 2 kids under 4. I hated the mirror, I hated any reflection. I didn’t just miss being “skinny” - I missed being able to do everything else that came with it. But, I trusted myself and remained hopeful as I had done it once already. I carried myself with discipline and focussed on the goal. From 1 week postpartum - I began my second journey to finding me again.
Now, 8 months after my second C-section?
I can PROUDLY say I’ve lost all the weight again - 30kg+ naturally, consistently, at home, no gym, & whilst balancing house chores, mum life & taking care of my two kids under 4. Was it easy? Nope. But did I accomplish the goal? YES. I figured out a plan than worked the first time, AND applied it the second time. Once I figured out the routine, that’s when it became easy.
Now I help other women feel strong, confident, and in control again. I teach my community of women and mothers that no matter how many steps back you take in life, the next chapter will always be a better one. No matter how defeated you feel, even as a mother with children and responsibilities, you CAN choose yourself and you CAN be happy for you and for your kids. 🫶🏻
So, with love I drafted my full routine onto writing and into a plan to guide others that have been in my position and need help navigating to finding yourself again. My guides and recipe books are everything I used myself:
✔ high-protein meals
✔ steps
✔ calorie deficit
✔ simple home routines + workouts
✔ mindset shifts
✔ realistic mum-life balance
✔ no overcomplicating anything
If I can do this twice, with two little ones, a busy household, and zero time… YOU absolutely can too.
Welcome to your glow-up journey.
I’m here with you every step.
