If there's one key message that needs to be heard to help body confidence everywhere - it's that weight is just a number.
It's common knowledge that a strong, toned body fed a balanced diet is healthier than a body starved of nutrients.
Yet, sadly, weight is still widely seen as a benchmark.

Here are just a few excellent examples:
1. There's this woman, who gained 3kg
2. And this woman, who gained 12 pounds
3. This woman, who gained 20 pounds and some badass biceps
4. Georgie gained 3KG and a healthier lifestyle.
5. And Lisa, who gained 2KG.
6. Katja, who gained 25 pounds.
7. Julia, who gained 15lbs.
8. And Frankie, who gained 12lbs and a healthier relationship with exercise.
We can learn a lot from these awesome women.
