A woman shared her experience of shedding almost 8lbs in less than two weeks without resorting to popular ‘skinny jabs’ or extreme diets. Sin Yee Or, also known as Sese, opted for an intensive weight loss boot camp that resembled more of a rigorous military training than a serene wellness retreat.
Previously involved in a bodybuilding competition where she reduced her body fat percentage to enhance muscle definition, the 29-year-old struggled with binge eating afterward and gained 30lbs within a few months.
Seeking a fresh start, Sese discovered the boot camp online and enrolled without informing friends or family. She recounted, “I went there alone with my suitcase – thinking, ‘Why not give it a try?'”
“The second day was excruciatingly painful, and I doubted my ability to continue. My entire body ached from the workouts. It felt like my muscles were protesting.”
“However, by the end of the program, I felt like a rejuvenated individual – more focused, energized, and content with myself once more.”
Sese stayed at the facility for 13 days, engaging in intense training for 11 days with two rest periods. Despite initially planning for a four-week stay costing around £270, she left early after dropping from 147.7lbs to 139.7lbs, reaching her desired weight for her body frame.
The schedule was demanding, involving three daily workout sessions: morning cardio, afternoon strength training, and evening spinning classes. Dietary intake was closely monitored, emphasizing vegetables with limited protein servings.
Participants were granted a rest day each week, and although a few skipped workouts or indulged in secret snacks, most remained dedicated. Sese found unexpected peace amidst the challenging routine, noting, “There were no distractions.”
“No late-night snacking, no social pressure, no FOMO. I even organized my cluttered computer desktop and completed pending tasks I had postponed for months.”
“I used to stay up late, eat poorly, and feel miserable about myself. During the camp, I slept well, ate healthily, and established a proper routine.”
“It felt like hitting the reset button on my body and mind. I departed feeling lighter, clearer, and significantly more positive about myself.”
Satisfied with her progress, Sese is already considering her next boot camp adventure, this time with a picturesque beach setting. Her intense journey sparked immediate reactions online.
Commenters expressed mixed sentiments, with one user likening the experience to prison life, while another was intrigued yet apprehensive about trying it. Some followers sought more details on the camp’s location and pricing.
Sese’s transformative experience at the camp commenced on the evening of May 18 and concluded on May 31 in Humen, Dongguan, China.
