When Anna found her dream wedding dress for her wedding in August of this year, it was a little on the small side. Although it could have been altered to fit, Anna decided that she wanted to look a little slimmer for her big day, so she set about losing weight. Only 7 weeks later, Anna had shed one stone, and her dress was perfect on the day!

Before registering with us, 22 year old Anna weighed 11 stone 10 lbs, giving her an overweight BMI of 27. Now Anna is weighing in at 10 stone 10 lbs and her BMI of 25 is much healthier. She has dropped from a size 16 in clothes to a size 12 -14 and her skin is glowing as a result of her new healthy eating habits.

Anna explains how she found our online weight loss programme. “I had seen an advert online and had a look at what the programme had to offer. I really liked the look of the diet plans and decided to give it a go.”

Previous weight loss efforts by Anna had been initially successful, but had never taught her how to change her eating habits and reduce her portion sizes for lasting weight loss.

“It wasn’t that I had been eating very unhealthy foods. My problem had always been the amount of food I ate. But my personilised plan has helped me to stop eating large portions and this has helped me to maintain my weight loss.”

However, it wasn’t just portion sizes that caused problems – an operation last summer had played havoc with Anna’s weight. “I had an operation last summer and because of that I lost a lot of weight. Since then I have put twice as much back on, so I haven’t been able to fit into any of clothes which has been very frustrating. I have been really unhappy about my weight, and it has affected my self-confidence.”

Anna's husband supported her all the way through her weight loss because he knew how much it meant for her to be able to fit into her dream wedding gown. “My husband has been so supportive to me throughout my weight loss journey. He would tell me off if I was tempted to eat something that wasn’t on my meal plan. He said I looked stunning on our wedding day. I felt like a princess!”

Anna found it easy to fit her plan in around her lifestyle. “The choice of convenience meals and recipes has made the plan extremely easy to follow. I like to eat out most weekends, and the plan gives me the option to do that without feeling guilty. There is also advice on what meals are appropriate from different cuisines, so no matter what type of food you are eating, you can’t go wrong!”

“I drink much more water than I used to and this stops me craving naughty foods. I don’t binge drink anymore, unlike other students of my age. Instead, I spread my drink allowance over the week. Following this plan has also helped me to break my yo-yo diet habit, and I’m really pleased about that.”

“I’m so happy about my weight loss because I didn’t really think I would be able to do it. Achieving my goal has made me much more confident and I don’t doubt myself anymore. I’m delighted that I was able to wear my dream wedding dress when I married the man of my dreams last August!”

What a beautiful bride! Congratulations to Anna and her new husband.
