4st 3lbs Lighter* and £1000 Richer: Kirstie’s Inspiring Transformation Tale
Embarking on a weight loss journey is never easy, but for Kirstie, it was a life-changing decision that led to incredible results. Kirstie has lost an impressive 4st 3lbs* and emerged as a runner-up in our September-October Fall Focus Transformation Challenge, earning a £1000 cash prize. Her transformation story is a testament to the power of determination and the right plan, as she overcame feelings of depression and self-doubt to reclaim her confidence and zest for life.
Dive into Kirstie’s inspiring journey with our Customer Experience/Journey Manager Cat, where she shares the ups and downs of her weight loss experience with The New You Plan and how it has transformed her life in ways she never thought possible.
Cat: How did you feel when you found out you were a runner up?
Kirstie: It has it has been an amazing transformation in such a short space of time. I never ever imagined that I could do it so quickly. I cried when I got the phone call from Nicola. I was so excited, and so never expected it. I was just like: “Oh my god!” I couldn’t believe it.
Getting started…
Cat: What led to you starting The New You Plan?
Kirstie: I was 14st 10lbs when I first started. I knew that I needed to do something because none of my clothes fitted. I didn’t want to go out. I was just mega depressed. I was wearing tents – massive t-shirts. I just felt horrible.
I kept seeing The New You Plan popping up on Facebook and I just thought, I’m going to buy the 3-week bundle and try it. And I was amazed!!
I think the first week was quite hard because when you’re dropping from about 2500 calories a day to between 600-800 it’s quite savage! But after the first week, I can’t remember exactly how much I’d lost, but I already knew there was a difference in my clothes. My jeans started feeling looser. Before I’d even got to the end of week 3, I’d already ordered another 4-week bundle!
I’ve tried total food replacement before but none of it was ever nice. With The New You Plan, there’s so much you can do with all the food and it’s all really tasty and I love it. I just love it all. If you like cake, you can eat cake!! And the results have been absolutely amazing.
New You: What are your favourite meals and snacks?
Kirstie: Well, at the moment it’s the Cinnamon Roll Shake. It’s absolutely gorgeous! Please, please don’t ever stop making them. I know they’re limited edition but please keep it as everyone loves it! And the ice-cream you can make with it is absolutely amazing as well. All of the Festive Shakes are amazing, but that one in particular is the best. I love mixing it with the Chocolate Brownie and the Chocolate Caramel Muesli. That’s probably my next favourite meal.
I also love the Fluffy Bars too. Over an evening, my husband will sit eating a bar of chocolate and I can have my Fluffy Bar and it’s like I’m having a naughty treat.
Life changing results…
Cat: How has your life changed since losing weight?
Kirstie: I feel good about myself now. I’ve got a lot more confidence. I just felt horrible about myself before and now I’m starting to love myself again. I just didn’t feel confident. I hated going on. I was fine on a one-to-one, but when there’s more than two people, I hated it. But the last time I went out, there were 10 of us and I felt like I was the centre of attention because I hadn’t seen anyone for so long. They’d not seen my massive weight loss. And I was thriving on it. I was loving it!
Before I got married, I did another total food replacement diet. It kinda worked but nowhere near as well as The New You Plan. I don’t think I’ve ever been this small since I was 21. I actually feel like I’ve got my 21-year-old body again.
Cat: You’ve tried other diet plans. Why do you think New You is the one that has worked?
Kirstie: I think it’s easy. I can’t diet. I’ve tried dieting before by watching calories. But because everything is there in front of you and you’re allowed 4 meals a day, and all the calories just add up perfectly no matter what you choose, you don’t have to worry about it but to have. As long as you have those 4 packs or 5 packs if you’re over 17 stone, you’re good. It’s just all there. You don’t have to sit there adding calories up and wondering if you can have this or that. You just pick what to have.
Cat: What’s been your favourite non-scale victory so far?
Kirstie: We’ve got a little gym set up at home and I’ve got an exercise bike. Next to it are mirrors, so I can always see myself. I’ve always exercised a couple of times a week, no matter what size I was. I used to wear a baggy t-shirt when I was on the bike and now I can wear little crop tops and leggings. And I look in the mirror and think: “You look good!”
Reflecting on the plan…
Cat: What’s the nicest compliment you’ve received so far?
Kirstie: I have customers coming in and out all day, and it’s only really been the last 3 or 4 weeks that people have started commenting on my weight and saying: “WOW! You’ve lost a lot of weight, haven’t you? You’re looking great.” One of my customers this morning said: “WOW! We’ve got a glamour model cutting our hair today!”
Cat: What would you say to anyone thinking of trying the plan?
Kirstie: What have you got to lose?! Give it a go! Try it. All you’ve got to lose is weight at the end of the day.
Whether you want to lose half a stone or 10 stone*, have a slimmer figure, or are just looking to get maximum nutrition in minimum time, then New You can make the perfect partner to get you to where you want to be.
