July/Aug Transformation Challenge: Stories That Stole Our Hearts

We are so thankful that so many customers entered our July/Aug Transformation Challenge. The judging panel had an incredibly tough job choosing the winners, because so many of you shared life-changing results, powerful mindset shifts, and emotional breakthroughs that truly embodied what The New You Plan is all about.

Each story represented a unique journey of courage. From rediscovering confidence and overcoming self-doubt, to proving that with the right system, anything is possible. It’s been incredible to witness the ripple effect of transformation across our community: people reclaiming their health, saying yes to new experiences, and inspiring others simply by showing up for themselves.

What stood out most was the heart behind every entry. From busy parents juggling family life to professionals balancing demanding jobs, so many of you found the strength to put you first. And it shows. These journeys remind us that transformation doesn’t happen overnight, but through small, consistent actions done with purpose and belief.

While not everyone could win, we wanted to highlight a few transformations that stood out as stories of courage, consistency, and hope. Each one proves that when you commit to change, extraordinary things happen and that the best version of you is always within reach.

Rebecca Rhodes: 10st 2lbs Lost in Under a Year

Rebecca’s transformation left everyone speechless. Since starting her journey in September 2024, she’s dropped from 24st 1lb to 13st 13lb, which is an incredible 10st 2lbs loss.

Her motivation came from wanting to be the healthy, active mum her children deserved. “My lost confidence was affecting how I lived my life and left me in a rut,” she shared. “I was unable to run after or play with my children and be the mum they deserve.”

Now, Rebecca is living life to the fullest. She’s swimming, cycling, walking and even wearing a bikini for the first time in years! She also celebrated another milestone… getting married in August in a beautiful black dress, radiating confidence and joy.

“I feel saved,” she said. “Almost 12 months on The New You Plan and I have my confidence, happiness and enthusiasm for life back. The results speak volumes.”

Matthew: 5st 13lbs Lost & A Healthier Future

Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2023, Matthew turned to The New You Plan to regain control of his health and he’s smashed it. Starting at 23 stone in May 2025, he’s now 17st 1lb, down an incredible 5st 13lbs.

“The New You Plan has enabled me to kick start the weight loss I need to help get my blood glucose back under control,” he explained. His levels are now stable, and his energy has soared.

A keen cyclist, Matthew says the biggest reward has been the freedom to ride further and faster. “Losing weight means I can go further and faster and it’s even more fun,” he shared. “The products actually taste good and keep those cravings at bay. The plan’s been just the tool I needed to kick start my journey.”

Kathy: 8st 7lbs Gone & A Whole New Life

Kathy’s journey began back in April 2022, and over two and a half years, she’s lost a staggering 8st 7lbs, going from 21st 4lbs to 12st 11lbs.

Her wake-up call came when she needed a belt extender on a flight. “That’s a moment for sure,” she said. Despite setbacks, she refused to quit: “I’ve had ups and downs, where I gained some weight back over periods not on plan, then took it off again once my head was in the right place but I never gave up.”

Today, Kathy feels unstoppable. “I can actually run up the stairs without gasping for breath. I’ve not been this light since my early 20s. It’s been a rollercoaster, but I’ll be getting off way lighter!”

Rebecca Lang: 6st 7.5lbs Lost in 16 Weeks

Rebecca’s story is one of pure resilience. In just 16 weeks, she’s lost a life changing 6st 7.5lbs, dropping from 15st 7.5lbs to 8st 13lbs.

As a full-time carer for her two daughters, both with disabilities, Rebecca had spent years putting herself last. “Every day was about getting them through the day and defeating what doctors told us they’d never be able to do. Within all that chaos, I forgot how to look after myself.”

She decided it was time to change: “My motivation was simply to take five minutes and look at where I wanted to be… picture how I wanted to feel.”

Now, she’s full of energy, confidence and pride. “This plan has changed my life. I’ve lost 6st 7lbs and 32 inches off my body. It’s amazing! I’m healthier, happier and can be the strong mum my girls need.”

Her advice to others? “Never wait until tomorrow! Start changing today.”

Laura: 27.5lbs Gone in 10 Weeks

Laura started her journey in March 2025 determined to take control after years of yo-yo dieting and emotional eating through lockdowns and motherhood. In just 10 weeks, she’s lost 27.5lbs, going from 13st 6.5lbs to 11st 7.5lbs.

“I had put on so much weight over the past five years,” she said. “After two pregnancies close together, I was exhausted, unhealthy and stuck in a cycle of yo-yo dieting. I had to get fit and healthy, not just for me, but for my young family.”

Today, she’s thriving: “I’m energised, fit, happy and confident. I wake up every day with a spring in my step. I smile every day and I’m now the mummy my kids deserve. I’m happy, confident, strong and healthy.”

Sarah: 5st 2lbs Lost & Confidence Reclaimed

For Sarah, the turning point was simple but powerful: seeing her children playing happily in the water while she stood on the sidelines. “The motivation I needed was seeing my kids happy in the water and I wasn’t,” she said.

Since starting in December 2024, she’s lost 5st 2lbs, going from 16st 8.5lbs to 11st 6.5lbs.

She’s now enjoying life again: “I actually wore a swimsuit and got in the pool! I felt really comfortable for the first time in years.”

Sarah says The New You Plan gave her back her self-belief: “It’s not been the easiest, we all have blips, but I’ve soldiered on and lost 5st 2lbs. I’m finally winning at my life.”
