Most of us spend the last few months of the year relaxing, celebrating and binge -eating our way into Christmas - and normally piling on the pounds as a result.
But Kate Boekhorst, 28, from London, had other ideas - she was determined to get abs before Christmas, ahead of a trip back to her home country of New Zealand.
In October, she signed up for an eight-week fitness challenge with F45, and has managed to shed an astonishing 3 stone and gain a set of rippling abs.
The run-up to last Christmas was a different story for Kate, who spent the 2017 festive season overindulging and with no consideration for exercise.

It wasn't until she spoke to her mother, via Skype, that she had a moment of clarity surrounding her weight.
Her mum saw how much weight she had gained and reminded her of her father's heart condition; prompting Kate to realise that if she didn't lose weight, then her health may follow a similar fate.
A few months later, she plucked up the courage to sign up to a gym and put her name down for the eight-week challenge at F45 in October.
The challenge included a tailored food plan and a recommendation of how many times a week she should attend classes.
As part of the package, Kate also had access to an online portal with menu plans, shopping lists and a personalised dashboard to track her results.
Kate set out to lose a stone, and determined to achieve this she took part in at least 6 HIIT based classes a week at her local Tottenham Court Road branch of F45.

Kate set out to lose a stone, and determined to achieve this, she followed the plan strictly, taking part in at least six HIIT based classes a week at her local Tottenham Court Road branch of F45.
She also changed her diet eating lunches and dinners like turkey courgetti, roast vegetable and quinoa frittata and lamb kofta with brown rice and beans.
She would snack on protein banana bars or turmeric coconut protein bites, while breakfast would be buckwheat pancakes with berries or smoked salmon egg white omelette.
In early December when she finished the challenge Kate had lost 3 stone, taking her from a size 14 to a svelte size 8.

Kate started to notice significant changes to her everyday life when she lost the weight too. She no longer gets out of breath when commuting and her confidence levels are sky high.
'The team at F45 Tottenham Court Road are something else,' Kate says. 'I know I've worked hard for these results but it wouldn't have been possible without their motivation and guidance.
'They pushed me from day one and I now feel more confident than ever before. For anyone looking to gain abs in as little as 8 weeks, I highly recommend this challenge.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
