[Customer interview]: “I lost 3 stone in just 12 weeks with The New You Plan”*
*Results may vary. This is not a guarantee.
Nicole started The New You Plan in May with the determination to lose weight for a wedding she was attending. By June, she had already lost 1 stone 7lbs and since then, she has continued a steady weight loss, with 3 stone gone for good! She is now 100% determined to reach her end goal. We love Nicole’s dedication and we are delighted to share details of her journey so far.
So Nicole, tell us about that incredible weight loss
So far I’ve lost 3 stone. I started in the middle of May as I had a wedding in June so I had to refeed for this, but I had already lost 1 and a half stone by then. After this I found it difficult to get 100% back on track but now my head is back in the game and I’m down 3 stone.
I started out a size 18-20 and I’m currently a size 14-16. I didn’t record my inches at the start but going from my belt I’d say I’ve lost around 6 inches from my waist. I was wearing it on the second last hole and now I’m in the first hole!
Tell us when you started the plan? What was it that finally led you to getting started?
I started on the 14th of May this year after having my second little girl in April. I’ve struggled with my weight all my life, going up and down like a yoyo. I had a traumatic time as a child, which I won’t go into but I definitely used food as a coping mechanism. A friend introduced me to New You and seeing her fantastic results I was adamant I was going to give it a go.
What were you hoping to achieve from The New You Plan?
To be totally honest I started off very dubiously. I wasn’t sure that I would be able to stick to the plan. I was addicted to fizzy drinks and I couldn’t see myself being able to stay away from them, but I proved myself wrong!
How has The New You Plan has changed your life?
Is there a particular of piece of clothing that you’ve been dying to wear?
I haven’t worn a dress since school but I bought myself a gorgeous maxi dress this summer and hopefully I’ll be confident enough to wear a shorter one by next summer.
Our customers love the support from Secret Slimmers. Have you got in on the action?
Secret Slimmers is awesome! The support is immense and you know you’ll always get a laugh which can make all the difference if you’re having a bad day.
I hope you’ve found great support in our customer service team?
Definitely! I’ve really only dealt with Tasha and Grant who are both just little rays of sunshine. I just live around the corner from the office too so I can call in and torture them!
Tell us, what New You Plan meals and snacks can you not live without?
The Muesli Bars and all the Shakes…love them all.
Do you have any tips for staying on track? How did you stop yourself blipping?
Distraction is the key. It definitely helps to keep busy but that’s not a problem once ketosis kicks in. Nobody’s perfect 100% of the time. You just have to take it a day at a time and don’t dwell on it if you do blip.
We hear all the time about the amount of energy our customers have on the plan. Has this had an impact on your exercise?
It’s great! I love to get out for a walk round the lakes and I’ve found lately like I could do laps, never mind just going around once. It’s 3 miles round but it doesn’t feel like that anymore. It’s hard with the kids off school to do as much as I’d like but I’ll hopefully be able to up my exercise when school restarts.
I’m sure there are loads of people reading this who just haven’t taken that leap of faith yet.What advice would you give anyone considering starting their New You journey?
Do it! If I can do it anyone can! What have you got to loose except that extra weight? It’s a no brainer really! It’s not just the plan – it’s the support from Secret Slimmers and the service from the whole team that makes this what it is….that little bit more special than any other diet I’ve ever done!
