Before & Afters
[Customer Interview] Sarah loses 35lbs* on The New You Plan
*Weight loss results may vary and are different for each individual.
Hi Guys 🙂
I’m Sarah, aged 28 & from a little town in the UK called St Helens (near Liverpool)
When I first began this journey to a new me I was tipping the scales at 12 stone 4 pounds at just 4 foot 11. I was clinically obese & at the lowest point in my life.
2)How long have you been on the plan & how much weight have you lost?
I have been on plan for exactly 73 days (currently week 11) Up to this date I have lost 2 & a half stone*. I am absolutely thrilled with this!
3)What led to you making the decision to take control & start the plan?
The breaking point for me was when I looked at myself in the mirror a little longer than normal. Usually I would just feel disgusted, walk away & eat my disgust away… well that night was different. I stood & studied my reflection long & hard & it finally all clicked. I’d had enough, I had to change this vicious circle I was in & I had to do it now, not tomorrow, not next week or next moth, so that was it, I grabbed my laptop & found the New You Plan on Facebook, (I can’t believe it had been there all along). I had to see this through once & for all. I had to quit quitting & change now.
4)How did being overweight make you feel?
Being overweight made me feel incredibly unhappy. I had the most wonderful partner but I was unhappy with me, how I looked & my life. I was ashamed, tearful, angry & I had been warned at 28 being the weight I was that I was at risk of type 2 diabetes, heart problems & stroke, the latter two had already claimed the lives of several family members before the age of 40. I was suffering terribly with my asthma, constantly in & out of hospital, I had aching joints in my knee’s & I only moved off my backside when I had too.
5) How did you feel when you started the plan? How was the first week?
Starting the New You plan made me feel like I was finally going to make that important change to my life. I was confident that I wasn’t going to give in, I felt happy that I was taking this step to a better & healthier life, I was excited & ready to do whatever it took to succeed. This plan had to give me the new me that I had been owed for years. The first week on plan was surprisingly smooth for me. I was expecting lots of hunger but it just never came. The water intake was a little difficult at first as I had never drank water, usually it was the fizzy kind, but I just took it one glass at a time. The shakes & meals were absolutely delicious & I found myself genuinely loving every mouthful. I was enjoying my food more than ever.
6) When did you start to see results?
If I am being 100% honest I noticed results after the very first week. I lost 6 pounds in the first 7 days, I looked a little slimmer, I felt much more energetic & my skin was looking healthier. It was really happening.
7)What was your first fist pump moment? How did it make you feel?
The first real fist pump moment was when I lost my first stone. I had never lost a stone in my whole life & it was real special moment for me. It made me realize just how much I was capable of if I really applied myself. For the first time in my life I felt proud of myself & I was happy to share it with everyone I knew, especially my Secret Slimmers Family.
8)What’s the nicest compliment you’ve received since reaching your target?
The best compliment I have received since losing the weight I have so far has got to be the number of people saying how much I look like my Mum. She was one of the most beautiful women on the planet (to me anyway) I had always hoped I would have even just a shred of her in me somewhere but to be told I look a lot like her since I am losing the weight is something very special indeed.
9)Who or what is your biggest inspiration?
My biggest inspiration in life has to be my Mum. She was a hard woman but had a heart of gold. She battled through the most horrific illnesses & diseases at the end of her 51 short years of life & did it with unimaginable courage, strength & dignity. She made everyone around her smile through her life & continues to do so even though hers came to end a long time ago.
10)What 3 words would you use to describe yourself before your weight loss?
The 3 words I would use to describe myself before my weight loss would be
-1) Unhappy
-2) Unhealthy
-3) Ashamed.
It is a shame looking back how I let myself be this way but as I say better late than never. You cannot spend your life being miserable, life is far too precious & short so treasure it.
11)And what 3 words would you use now?
The 3 words I would use now to describe myself would be
-1) Happy
-2) Healthier
-3) Proud.
My journey certainly is not over, it will always continue & it will always get better, yes it is possible.
12)What 3 New You Plan Meals or Snacks can you not live without?
The 3 New You products I could not live without would be
– Spicy Noodle Nosh
– Pasta Carbonara
– Chocolate Cream Wafers
I feel like I am floating on a fluffy cloud. Yes they are that good.
13)What are you top 3 tips for staying on track?
If I had to give 3 top tips for staying on track they would be:
– Write a list of reasons why you want to lose the weight & put them on the fridge & cupboards.
– To keep a photo album of your progress each week to remind yourself of your amazing journey
– Keep in regular contact with the Secret Slimmers Page on Facebook
There is a massive amount of support to keep you on the right path to your journey & always lots of great activities so keep in touch with us.
14)What weight loss mantra do you live by?
My weight loss mantra has got be “If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.” Nothing in life comes easy. You have to challenge yourself everyday to become a better & more successful person & good things will come your way in return.
15)What do you love most about the Secret Slimmers community?
Being a member of the Secret Slimmers Community has literally changed my life. I have met the most inspirational, kindest group of people in my entire life. These people are superhuman. They possess so much strength, love & understanding & they have never failed to make me push myself further to succeed. These people are not just a community, they are not just friends but they are my family.
16)What advice would you give anyone considering starting the plan?
If I had to give any advice to anyone considering starting the New You plan I’d say simply don’t consider it, do it, do it now, do it today. It will be the very best & most important decision you will ever make in your life.
