Best Health Comeback Transformation- Louise Lost 4st 9lbs* & Won £1000 Cash

After battling illness, low confidence, and years of failed diets, Louise had a moment that changed everything. She caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror and knew something had to give. Since starting The New You Plan, she’s lost an incredible 4st 9lbs, reversed health conditions, transformed her mindset, and regained her spark. Her unwavering determination and refusal to give up earned her the title of “Unstoppable Spirit: Best Health Comeback Transformation” and £1000 cash prize, in our March/April Challenge. This is Louise’s powerful story of healing, hope, and unstoppable strength.

Getting Started: From Rock Bottom to Taking Back Control

Emma: How much weight have you lost, and what is your goal?

Louise: As of this morning, I’ve lost 4st 9lbs. My goal is to get to 11.5st, and I’ve just tipped under the 12st mark, so I’m nearly there!

Emma: What led you to start the plan, and how were you feeling at the time?

Louise: I’d hit rock bottom. I’d tried loads of diets – meal delivery plans, all shakes, you name it. I’m a picky eater and nothing worked. I’d also just come through a serious illness, and I was so low. One day I looked at myself and thought, “No. This isn’t me. I can’t keep living like this.”

Then I saw an ad on Facebook for 100 sachets for £100 and decided, “Why not? I’ve nothing to lose.” I was pleasantly surprised. The food was tasty, and the plan was easy to follow. It gave me structure. I didn’t want to hide in baggy clothes anymore. I wanted to feel like me again.

Winning Moment: Becoming a Transformation Challenge Star

Emma: How did you feel when you found out you were a Transformation Challenge winner?

Louise: When Nicola called, I honestly thought she was going to tell me that I hadn’t sent in the right photos or something! Then when I found out I’d won, I couldn’t believe it. I rang my sister straight away -she’s been with me on this journey from the start.

It felt like a pat on the back, an acknowledgment that I’ve come so far. Not just about the weight, but that I’ve shown up for myself. I felt proud – like I finally got that “You did it” moment.

The Journey: Highs, Lows & Breakthrough Moments

Emma: How did your first week go? Did anything surprise you?

Louise: I honestly expected to fail. Day one was exciting – trying something new. Day two, three, and four? I cried. I called my sister thinking, “What have I done?”

But I didn’t give in. I leaned on the community, drank my Redbush tea, had my baths, and pushed through. By day five, I felt amazing. Your energy changes. And it’s true – your taste buds change too!

Emma: What were the hardest parts?

Louise: The first few days were tough, especially emotionally. And when I’ve had surgery or been unwell, I felt frustrated that I couldn’t fully stick to plan. But I didn’t let those moments define me.

Louise: And the best parts?

Louise: The milestones! Going to Spain and hiking up mountains, feeling amazing in my clothes, being the one outpacing others. Every weigh-in, every “Wow” moment. Those are everything.

Mindset Shift: The Confidence to Live Fully

Emma: How has your life changed since losing the weight?

Louise: Oh, where to start! Physically, I’m so much healthier. I had non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and that’s now reversed. My activity levels are up – I walk, I go to the gym alone, I’m confident in my clothes. I even started giving up smoking and managing other health conditions better.

Mentally, I’m not hiding anymore. I used to need others around to do anything. Now I go out on my own, chat to strangers, and feel good. Even on my lazy days, I try to hit 10,000 steps because I want to feel good.

Emma: Has the plan taught you anything new?

Louise: Absolutely. Portion control, nutrition, macronutrients – it’s all finally clicked. I’ve been in the gym for years and even had personal trainers, but this is the first time I’ve really learned about my relationship with food. I feel in control now, not restricted.

Favourite Products & Daily Must-Haves

Emma: What products can’t you live without?

Louise: I’m obsessed with the Nacho Cheese Crisps, the Apple & White Chocolate Bars, and the Cookies & Cream Shake. Every night, I make a kind of “cookie crumble ice cream” with porridge biscuits and it’s heaven. Honestly, people at work are always asking me what I’m eating!

Compliments, Victories & the Power of Community

Emma: What’s the best compliment or moment you’ve had so far?

Louise: I went back to the office after some time away and someone said, “Louise, we didn’t even recognise you!” That comment stayed with me all day. It was such a boost.

And at the gym, people have started noticing the changes. I’ve swapped my baggy tops for more fitted gym wear – and yes, even the guys have noticed.

Emma: Any favourite non-scale victories?

Louise: So many! Tying my shoelaces without struggling. Sitting on a bike without my belly in the way. Seeing my clothes hang loose. But most of all – reversing my health issues. That’s the biggest win.

Looking Ahead: Eyes on the Finish Line

Emma: What are you most looking forward to when you reach your goal?

Louise: Holding that “I DID IT poster! Going back to my doctor and saying, “See – I told you it wasn’t just my age.” But mainly, just being proud. Knowing I did it. That I never gave up, even when the path was bumpy.

Emma: What advice would you give your past self?

Louise: Believe in yourself more. Trust the process. Don’t give up hope – your dreams will come true. You are capable of more than you think.

Louise’s Final Thoughts

Emma: What do you love most about the New You community?

Louise: The people. The 24/7 support. The friendships I’ve made. Even if it’s midnight, someone’s there with advice or a kind word. We lift each other up – and that’s priceless.
