£100K TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE: Michelle Lost 4st 7lbs* & WON £1000 Cash, Just Before Her 40th Birthday!
Michelle was feeling low. Her confidence had hit rock bottom, she’d no energy to run around after her little one, she hid in baggy clothes and she avoided socialising. With her 40th birthday coming up and a trip to Disney with her family planned, she decided to do something about it. And that she did! She has lost 4st 7lbs & dropped 5 dress sizes, just in time for her birthday. Plus, she entered our Transformation Challenge for motivation and ended up winning £1000 cash.
Here is her story…
New You: Michelle, why did you decide to join the challenge?
Michelle: It was for fun initially, but it kept me motivated. I wanted to reach my goal before my 40th birthday. I am going to Disney with my family and I bought myself some size 12 jumpers nearly a year ago when I was a size 20-22 as motivation to get into them for my trip. Taking photos wearing them and seeing the progress felt amazing.
New You: Was there anything that helped you stay on-track while doing the challenge?
Michelle: Yeah, I kind of set little mini goals along the way. Throughout the summer last year, I was trying to set little goals to lose so much by this event and so much by that event. So it just kind of kept me going.
New You: We’d love to know how you heard about the plan!
Michelle: I used to do other diet plans and when I looked online, I came across The New You Plan on Facebook. It was the variety that drew me to it because the other company I used to go with didn’t have a lot of stock, and the bars were limited. I was amazed at how much there was to choose from so I decided to give it a go.
Getting started…
New You: What led to you starting the plan?
Michelle: Well, I started getting quite self-conscious and I didn’t like going out socially anymore because I didn’t want to bump into people that I hadn’t seen for a while. I didn’t feel very comfortable. I had no energy to run around with my little one in the summer. I felt awful last year because I just didn’t want to put on any clothes that were too revealing. I just generally felt uncomfortable and fed up and my self-esteem had hit rock bottom. I used to suffer quite a bit with a rash on my legs during the summer because my legs were chafed together.
New You: And tell us about that first week…
Michelle: I found the first three days a bit harder but I still found it relatively easy to follow. But after the third day, it’s almost like the hunger kind of disappeared and I just felt like much more energy.
New You: What are your go-to meals & snacks?
Michelle: I’m addicted to Chocolate Brownie, especially when I discovered that cooking it in the air fryer made it even gooier. And I pretty much have that every night now. I tend to alternate it with the Salted Caramel cake, or sometimes I mix them together for a delicious chocolate caramel combination. Porridge is another favourite. I’m loving the combination of Mexican Tacos topped with the Four Cheese Pasta, which I pop into the air fryer.
Life changing…
New You: How would you say the plan has changed your life?
Michelle: Massively! It’s given me so much more confidence and energy. I like going clothes shopping now, which I hated doing before. I’ve been taking more time to look after myself as well lately. I’m back getting my hair and nails done again, which this time last year, I’d stopped. So, yeah, it’s just given me a lot more confidence.
New You: What is the nicest compliment you have received since losing weight?
Michelle: I’ve received loads of lovely compliments. During parents’ evening yesterday, my son’s teacher actually said, “Wow, you’re losing weight”. This week in particular, I feel like all of a sudden everybody has started to notice. I don’t know if it’s because I’m now wearing spring clothes and I’ve put all my baggy stuff away.
New You: What would you say to someone thinking of starting the plan?
Michelle: I’m a hairdresser and my clients ask me daily what I’m doing and a few have started it since I recommended it. So yes, my advice would be just to stick out the first few days and keep yourself busy, drink lots of water, and after you’ve hit that little three day peak, it gets so much easier and you don’t even think about it anymore. It’s just so convenient.
New You: And then finally, what’s next?
Michelle: So after my birthday trip away, I’ve got a couple of pounds left to lose, so I’d like to get back on total meal replacement when I come home. Then I’m looking into trying New You Switch so that I can maintain it. In the past when I’ve lost weight, as soon as I stopped the diet, I’d start to put it on again. But not this time! I think Switch will help me regain that control so that I can keep the weight off for good!
Whether you want to lose half a stone or 10 stone*, have a slimmer figure, or are just looking to get maximum nutrition in minimum time, then New You can make the perfect partner to get you to where you want to be.
