Petra Meštrić, a former participant in the Croatian reality show 'Brak na prvu' (Marriage at First Sight), has revealed the details of her significant weight loss journey. Over a period of three years, Meštrić managed to shed 20 kilograms, bringing her weight down from 74 kilograms to a healthier 52 kilograms.

Meštrić explained that she chose to share her progress publicly, including her struggles with diet and exercise, as a way to maintain discipline. She found that the public's awareness of her efforts made it easier to stick to her goals. "All sorts of difficult situations are easier to overcome under the public eye. If I share that I'm going to training or that I have to eat vegetable soup that I don't feel like eating at all, it will be easier for me," she stated.

Her transformation involved consistent training sessions, with guidance from coach Stefan Modrić, who was also a fellow contestant on 'Brak na prvu'. Meštrić stressed that her weight loss was not a result of a magical intervention but a product of sustained effort and discipline. "People sometimes have completely wrong prejudices. They think that someone else achieved this overnight, that some good fairy came with a magic wand and took off 20 kilos for me. Well, it didn't," she said.

Maintaining her goal weight involves continuing with a balanced diet and regular exercise. Meštrić still pays attention to her food intake, opting for smaller portions of less healthy foods and complementing them with larger salads. This disciplined approach to nutrition and fitness remains a key part of her daily life.
