In 2012 I broke my foot, and then 1 year later I broke another foot. I put my weight gain down to being inactive because of my injuries and over the two years my weight crept up on me.
One day I realised that I was continually covering up the weight I had gained by wearing baggy clothes and made the decision to lose weight.
I was recommended to Ideal Weight by a friend who had lost a considerable amount of weight with Ideal Weight. She told me that she felt great; was feeling much fitter, healthier and had never once felt hungry.
So I arranged to see an Ideal weight coach to find out more about the meal plans and the coaching sessions. My coach recommended a plan based on my BMI and my busy lifestyle. I started my journey with 3 plan which I found so much easier to follow than any other diet I had tried before. The nutrition packs were easy to prepare and made life so simple, and I was still able to eat normal food and join my family for an evening meal every day.
I would say that the coaching and support of my coach and fellow group members is about 90% responsible for my weight loss success. The coaching is invaluable and provides the support and encouragement needed to succeed. I've learned so much about myself, which is not only helping me on my weight loss journey, but I know what I have learned will definitely help me to maintain my weight loss moving forward. Being on a diet can be a bit lonely, but sharing stories and listening to what other group members had to say was really helpful and kept me motivated.
I now know that it the past I have struggled with my weight because I didn't understand how food worked for me or the reasons why I ate what I did. I've learnt about portion control and the value of certain foods which will help me to maintain the weight I have lost. Most importantly, I now know why I over indulged in the past.
I've not reached the end of my journey yet but I feel great. I am able to buy clothes in smaller sizes and in styles that I wouldn't have dreamed of wearing in the past and I'm enjoying receiving compliments again.
Anyone thinking about losing weight should definitely contact Ideal Weight without delay. It's the best move I have ever made. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.
