Real Results. Real Stories. Hear what my clients have to say

On the day of the surgery, the surgeon told me, very coldly, that I was too fat for a general

anaesthetic. I was 111kg (244pounds) bearing in mind that I am only 5"1.

I felt so embarrassed and humiliated that I almost refused the surgery.

As a positive person that I am and a firm believer that everything happens for a reason,

whilst I was recovering, I started looking for a gym club.

Meanwhile, after so many months without hearing from each other, Yvonne, my friend and

our nutritionist, reached me. I told her what had happened at the hospital.

Unbelievably, she told me she had done a nutrition course, and my head was spinning for

such a great coincidence.

We set the plan in motion straight away.

I started my journey with Yvonne in July. The support she was giving me was priceless and

what I really needed. Someone to believe that I can lose the weight gained due to the

menopause.

She started by giving me a meal plan, and I started going to the gym 4 times a week,

attending dance fitness, aqua zumba, and zumba.

The meals were a challenge in the beginning because I was not keen on having breakfast

because it was not part of my habits. Today, breakfast is what I enjoy the most because it is

so different every day.

The challenges I encountered were mostly financially, but I got around it by shopping wisely.

I go to Asda and Farmfoods for frozen vegetables and buying in bulk.

I started planning my meals in advance and prepared for the week.

It is not easy as I work full time as a Team Coordinator for NHS.

But it is worth all my sacrifice because your actions become your habits.

I do not believe that I could achieve losing 10kg without her meal plans and her

unconditional support and her belief that I could do it.
