After years of ‘dieting’ and depriving herself – but never losing
weight – Louisa decided it was time to try something different, so she
played Weight Watchers. The structure and support really suited her and
now here her is – never feeling deprived, looking fabulous, feeling
healthier than ever and loving life! She loves the fact the she can now
wear what she wants and have fun with fashion.
The structure of the plan meant she had to track and take notice of
what she was eating. Having never counted the half Camemberts and
chocolate oranges that she used to scoff in front of the TV in the
evenings she was now becoming aware of the impact it had on her weight.
It wasn’t a massive amount of weight that she wanted to lose, but overall it has made a huge impact o her life.
Having far more confidence – she now wears what she wants, doesn’t
feel out of control, and doesn’t feel like she is controlled by food.
Louisa said: “I can wear the things that I want to now, whereas before I would try to wear them and
look awful! I would see pictures of myself after a night out and just feel tragic.
“I feel so much healthier since losing weight – I get less out of
breath, find exercise easier, my skin looks so much better than before
as well. It must be all the fruit and veg I’m eating nowadays! My
lifestyle hasn’t changed dramatically, but there are little things that
are different – I drink less, eat better and enjoy myself more. If I go
out for dinner, I don’t need to eat myself up with guilt the next day.”
To stay on track with the plan in everyday life, she used the iPhone
app which was a fantastic way to check out the weekly recipes. The
ProPoints calculator was a tool that she couldn’t do without.
Louisa’s top tip to anyone thinking about losing weight is join
Weight Watchers! She found it easy and life changing, and keeping to the
plan the weight really doesn’t come back. No more fad diets!
It took Louisa 3 months to reach her goal weight.
Louisa appears in the latest Weight Watchers advertising campaign and
thoroughly enjoyed the experience – being looked after, having her hair
and make up fixed. The thing she enjoyed most of all was meeting the
other people in the advert and hearing their success stories made it
extremely inspiring.
