To me, this means I attribute All my success to New You , and the positive mental state doing the plan has put me in ! For me now, there are NO excuses ……. I have spent years trying to excuse my over eating….. Blaming it on stress, tiredness etc etc etc….. It’s all about taking control, of your life, and I am eternally grateful that New You had helped me to realise this 🙂
Jasmin you have done AMAZINGLY well – love your photos you post in secret slimmers, so inspirational xx
You have took control, you are the leader of your life, you have done so well 🙂 thanks for sharing Jasmin xx
“I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took any excuse” I totally agree with this statement and to me it means that only i am accountable to myself and take complete ownership of my actions and the consequences . this week my weight has stayed the same as i’ve not been well and had to take meds ( which to some may sound like an ‘ excuse ‘). but ……… i acknowledge this and don’t let it drag me down or ”put me off ” my actions from today onwards, the biggest part of succeeding on the NY plan is mindset .
the other day i so wanted a blowout and i mean big style with a take away but knew how i would feel afterwards , having read other peoples consequences of doing just that so i motivated myself by reading NY website , inspirational stories and trying on or looking at clothes that i desperately want to wear and am happy to be back ”in the zone ” to continue my journey to a fitter , happier , and much slimmer me .NO excuses – I CAN and WILL do it .xx
I agree Melody, reading others peoples success makes me remotivated too!! I can and I will <3 LOVE IT X
Always remember why you started this and it will keep you on track there is so much support on secret slimmers and we all try to help each other in every way we can 😀
It means taking ownership of your life and all aspects of it… If you trip up along the way get get straight back up, no point sitting in the corner nursing your bruises. And don’t take the ‘easy out’ that other people are good at offering – ‘you’re ok as you are’ etc… who wants to be just ok anyway… Don’t know about you but I want to be FABULOUS! 🙂
Love this… When we accept ownership that means we are in control!!
AND YES!!! WHO WANTS TO BE JUST OK!! WE ARE AMAZING :)XX
And FABULOUS you will be 🙂 thanks for sharing this Lisa 😀
While on the road to success very excuse tries to knock u down!New you has made the road to success alot easier for many people and excuses seem to disappear as there is so much support and motivation!
So glad to have you with us Martina 🙂
We all motivate and inspire eachother, you will be inspiring everyone with your success too 🙂 xx
We aim to please everyone on the New You Plan, we thrive on supporting one another as we are all on the same boat 🙂 We all have a dream, a plan, a goal, a target to reach … with the right support this is possible 🙂 xx
I attribute my success to this simply means to me that The new you plan has taught be to be strong, not give in and blame it on someone else. What goes past my lips I’m in control of, no one else. No excuses!!!
BE STRONG!!! It really does boil down to this.
Love it xx
YOU ARE IN CONTROL!!!!! You have taken control of your life … well done 😀 xx
I attribute my success in a belief that I could do it and would do lose weight! I’ve always been overweight, my whole life. I’ve never known what it was like to be a “normal” size. Coming from a family of larger ladies, I used to put it down to genetics mostly. Then after my 4th child I said enough. Enough WAS enough! I was the biggest I’d ever been then and couldn’t bare having to buy, yet again, the next size up… It would’ve been size 26! Right then I knew I couldn’t keep going the way I was. No more excuses! No more procrastinating!!!!!!
That decision was the best I’ve ever made. And the belief I have in myself is through the roof now because I’m now a size 14 with the absolute belief & commitment to reach a size 10/12! And I won’t stop till I’m there because to come this far means it can be done!!!!
I’m healthier and happier than I’ve ever been! And I have 4 gorgeous kids that can finally be ran after in the park!
WOW YOU GO GIRL!! What an amazing empowering success story you are!!
Are you coming to our christmas party?? I hope so xx
You are such an inspiration, you have done so so well 🙂 xx
This quote means to me that no one can make excues for what they are doing, its down to myself to get what I want from life, I often used to make excuses why I had to eat a certain thing or why I would lose weight next week but in the end only I can make it happen but if it was not for my husband sometimes giving me a huge amount of support and praise for each step I would not even be here, bless him he even eats in the kitchen so I don’t crave what he is eating and with the support here to is amazing, so I attribute my success to me, my husband and new you, no more excuses, no giving up and here’s to my vision of a new me 🙂
Love that your husband has supported you so well…
Having a strong vision is everything isnt it xx
You’ve got a dream 🙂 this is what you need, something to work towards, you are so lucky to have a husband that gives you so much support 🙂 you will reach your goal Tammyann and I look forward to hear about you getting closer to you goal 😀
I attribute my success to the rigidity of the New You Plan and to the SS page between you, you removed all my excuses for over eating and made me realise that making excuses was futile and counter productive. I had 4 packs per day and as much fluid as I could drink that was it!!! I thank the New You team for their courtesy and my Secret Slimmer buddies who give time, support and encouragement so selflessly. All I have to do is stick with the maintenance and should that fail I shall return.
Again Thank You all
We love you May – you truly are an amazing lady xx
Thank you for being part of our community and contributing so much xx

I simply was not prepared to fail this time. Too many days wasted being unhappy with myself, enough already. My 2014 Christmas present to my wonderful and long-suffering partner will be to have the old me back.
Woooohooo 🙂 Love it – BRING ON CHRISTMAS TIME!!! XX
YAAAYYYYYYYYYYY BRILLIANT 🙂 I look forward to seeing your progress 😀 xx
Only I am responsible for the way I run my life,
Only do what makes me happy,and find to my own way to that happiness,,,,
But be grateful for the help of true friends
<3 fab x
Exactly … its your life!! True friends are always the best ones for true moral support! xx
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. –Henry David Thoreau
When we are proactive there will be no room for excuses. We must graduate from the hating to take responsibilities for our mistakes, oversights, and bad behavior, so we don’t become the master of the ‘blame-game’. It’s never easy to ‘fess- up’ and be accountable because it demands honesty with ourselves and others. Make a decision that each time you’re tempted to rationalize, justify or evade responsibility you’ll simply state the truth.
This is my favourite quote of all time Catherine!!!!
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. –Henry David Thoreau
YESSSSS you have to live the life you imagined, not the life someone else wants you to live, you are doing this for you and you only 😀 Thank for sharing Catherine xx
i attribute my success to this simply means to me i took control no more excuses im to old im to tired i did all that until i tried the new you plan now no more excuses im doing it and i will continue to do it until i reach goal x
NO EXCUSES!!! LOVE THIS X
PERFECT ….. you will reach your target 🙂 well done Pauline xx
This phrase to me means that my willpower will be at 100 per cent all day every day and i will not and did not give into temptation by making excuses i.e. oh i was feeling sad, i had a bad day etc…it also means i am closing my ears to temptation which can be around every corner as friends and family work colleagues special occasions can all be the naughty devil on my shoulder tempting me to surrender and give in and eat things that have brought me to the weight i am.
great… temptation really is all around us, we need to stay focused and true to what is most important OUR HEALTH, WELLBEING AND HAPPINESS xxx
thank you for sharing this x
Julz is right temptation is all around us, we just have to learn that we cant give in 🙂 FOCUS IS THE KEY!! 🙂 xx
I attribute my success to me firstly for taking that first step and ordering and to new you for your amazing products.i am really enjoying this whole process, as I feel I am gaining confidence as a result of my lweight loss.
Well done… its amazing when you just take that first step how fast everything can change 🙂 delighted you are with us xx
So excited that you are with us Cliona and soooooo happy that you are gaining confidence with your weight loss 🙂 xx
For me it means I am in charge of my own destiny. Sink or swim this journey is all up too me. All to often it’s easy to say. I have an illness that makes weight loss difficult. Yes it’s true I do have it and yes it does make it less straight forward but not IMPOSSIBLE. That’s the whole story for me. With the power within myself nothing is impossible. The word itself spells IM POSSIBLE. I rise and when I fall the secret to any success is picking myself straight back up again and getting on the wagon owning my short comings and triumphs. In the immortal words of lady gaga lol “I’m on the edge of glory” that’s what it feels like I am on cusp of the rest of my positive happy life.

Nothing is impossible, eh?? x
EXACTLY ….. Nothing is impossible, positivity is one of the main things that keeps you focused! Well done and keep up the good work Lou 🙂 xx
I was lookingthrough facebook when I came across this quote “Worrying is useless. Worrying is planning for a negative future”. I was worried this evening about an issue which I took to the group and had my mind quickly set at ease. This along with todays quote have inspired me to never take the easy option. The easy option doesn’t work because because it is easy. Through hard work and dedication we all can achieve our goals. Excuses only serve to give us a soft cushion for a hard landing, but ulimately they end up being our downfall. Stay positive people. You can do it. With every positive step you will see success in your present and prosperity in your future.
Great to have you with us Pat!! I can sense you are going to get to your goal, no excuses, you are a man on a mission and you will inspire people you dont even know!! The future is bright xx
Some of the challenges we have in life is what makes our lives so much more exciting!! You have the motivation and determination to reach your goal 🙂 Thanks for sharing pat 🙂 🙂 xx
Day 3..I’m ok..thought id have caved to the smell of my other halves dinner..my chilli was just as good..mmm
Day 3 can be tough, keep going hun NO EXCUSES 🙂
The Start of the journey is hard but you have the determination to keep going 🙂 xx
This to me means and shows that you have to be honest with yourself. You cant hold anyone else accountable for your journey and also cant make excuses to yourself!
I think in the past I have had every excuse under the sun for NOT sticking to any diet plan, however this time I am fired up and totally focused. So this statement now rings true for me and long may it continue 🙂
