Melissa shares her New You Plan Journey to Lose 5.5 Stones* & Win our VIP Makeover Prize Day
*Results may vary, this is not a guarantee.
Melissa has lost 5 and a half Stone with The New You Plan.Β She started the Plan back in November 2012 with a break for Christmas and truly started her transformation in January 2013. From January to now she has completely transformed herself in such a beautiful way inside and out. We had the pleasure of meeting Melissa at at photoshoot in August past, each of us were completely charmed by her wonderful personality her glowing self and she is absolutely gorgeous.
Melissa took part in our Summer Holiday Transformation Challenge and won a Β£1000 makeover prize. This day was truly magical for us all and Melissa fitted in so well, she has a wonderful ora, great personality, such a positive person and just loves life. To be in her presence would just make you want to smile. I smiled countless times that day and I truly look forward to seeing her again. Don’t miss her interview below with Grant and hear all about her story.
Melissa started The New You Plan wearing a dress size of 22 and just last week Melissa fitted into a size 10 designer dress. She shared with us that she actually stood in the changing rooms crying in disbelief in how much she has achieved. Melissa was so use to wearing frumpy old women’s clothes as she described them and now she is wearing the clothes she has always wanted to and is no longer ashamed to show herself off. Melissa described it as if the weight was on top of the real her hiding it and the more and more she tried tackling her milestones one by one she was able to show the real her piece by piece.
Melissa has been such an inspiration on our secret slimmers page and inspires everyone through her beautiful pictures, her beautiful words or her just being her wee cheeky self. I can honestly say we all adore her and are so proud that is is a part of New You and we know that she always will be. Melissa has such a wonderful approach on life and I knowΒ that she will continue to help people and make them smile π Like she does with us every day. Nearly at her goal weight Melissa is so excited to reach her healthy BMI and finally celebrate the achievments she has made. Good Luck Melissa and thank you so much for being you π xxxxx
