Weight management is a goal a lot of women have but why are we so obsessed with it? It is down to confidence. We want to feel good about ourselves. We want to love ourselves and like what we see in the mirror. So here is some tips about how to go about it.
Set short term goals. The number one way to demotivate yourself is to set a huge goal, then any bit of progress makes you feel like you are still so far away. Break the goal up into small chunks, that way you always feel like you are winning.
Organisation. The biggest challenges you will face on your journey are when you are caught out unprepared and need to grab food while hungry when out and about. Make no mistake, it is extremely difficult to stay motivated grabbing food in a super market or petrol station when you're busy. Plan meals, have snacks handy and you're good to go.

This journey has been transformative in ways I never imagined, It's not just about the weight loss, but about finding happiness, confidence and a renewed sense of self. If you're considering a change, know that it's possible, and it's soo worth it... here's to the next chapter!
January 2023 - May 2024.
Whenever I feel down about how I’m feeling or worry that my self development journey isn’t at where I want it to be I look at this photo and still can’t believe that these photos are both me! My products have been with me during my pregnancy, my post partum survival mode and then 2023 as my weight loss journey! And woah did I even surprise myself on that one. They are still here with me now as I have learnt the importance of having great nutrition in my body especially as a busy mum of 3. Here’s to feeling better in my 30’s, 40’s, 50’s etc than I ever did in my youth!!
I’d had such a rough few years personally and massively let myself go. I eventually got back into exercise but the weight wasn’t shifting, I was putting in so much effort and not seeing the reward. It came to October '23 and I was thinking about what worked for me before, and it was the complete shakes. I ordered them and couldn’t wait to have them again, so many benefits. I have also added the berry capsules and perform too. The capsules are great for my skin hair and nails, they have never been so good and I've never seen my hair so long (naturally). They’re quick and easy, lots of goodness in them, perfect for busy people and I’m not missing out on food as I’d often skip brekkie anyways, and love my evening meal with the kids still etc. I’ve lost 3 stone since and feel amazing, Just love them it all so much, I've never felt better.
For years i struggled with weight gain, was always seeing dieticians and being put on food plans but never saw much of an increase in my weight. Then I got introduced to the shakes 3 years ago and everything changed. My weight started to gain slowly but enough for me to notice and I finally started to find trousers that fit me. When I first started I was a size 4 to 6 and now I’m a size 8 to 10. I used the shakes when I was pregnant with my daughter which was peace of mind as I knew it was helping her get all the natural and nutritious goodness she needed too. I used to always skip breakfast as I didn’t like the thought of eating anything in the morning but not anymore. With these being so quick and easy to make they fit in so well with busy mum life. Plus they are super yummy so I actually look forward to having them These products are literally my life saver and i wouldn’t be without them.
Over course of 4 years I had put on lots of weight with being on a mixture of medications and steroids waiting for a diagnosis what took a long time. I was fed up if the weight I had gained lost my confidence and didn't feel like me anymore. I was so glad when the products was mentioned to me, I thought what is there to loss let give this a shot. The shakes were a life saver for me being a breakfast skipper in the past. Now I'm having a shake for breakfast full of everything I need to keep going till lunch and definitely fuller for so much longer. I have lost the weight I have gained and more feeling so much happier and me again. Loosing nearly 3 dress sizes so far and it feels amazing.
For years I've been a yo-yo dieter!! Proper monday to Friday dieter, obsessed with the scales and was repeatedly disheartened week after week, month after month. I was wasting money going to clubs to stand on the scales to be told I "had stayed the same" or " gained 1lb one week then lost it the next week" I was depressed, annoyed and just give up. I then started something new because why not, I had tried everything else. Only this time it was different, I was fueling my body with so much goodness that naturally not only the scales were moving but inches were dropping and clothes were now too big. Within about 6 weeks I had lost 1stone and dropped a dress size and was feeling amazing, confident and comfortable. I was loving the 80/20 lifestyle plan that we follow and was still allowing myself treats with the family. Win win. Within 4 months of using these fantastic products I was 2stone down and 2 dress sizes smaller. I am now 1 year in and I have maintained my goal weight easily for 8 months now and live a very healthy lifestyle fuelled by our capsules and shakes every day. The difference in not only my body but my mind as well is simply astonishing.
I can't even explain how low I felt about my body confidence just a few years ago. I'd had a personally challenging few years & my self care massively dipped. I couldn't be happier to have lost 3 dress sizes & be comfortable wearing a bikini & be in size 10 clothes, I never thought I'd see the day!
So as everyone who knows me knows I do like a pint or 3, or a cheeky Greggs. But at some point something had to give. Yes every now and again I do go out an have a few. Its all about the 80-20 balance these days. I feel fitter and healthier now then I did in my 30's. My wife has always supported me we are on this journey together. I suffered severely with Hay fever, I was on steroids 2 summers for it. Dee suggested I try her capsules i said nope they won't work. Then 1 day I pinched 3 of her capsules because I had tried everything else. Dee found out because she ran out of capsules early ooppsss. I didn't notice the change till We were out for a walk when Dee said James Were surrounded by tree's in a grass field. At this time I had more energy from taking the capsules so asked Dee what else is on offer. Added the Omegas to the mix to help with a dodgy shoulder. I found the shakes these were a game changer I would avoid breakfast then hit the vending machine normally. I had a shake in the morning one for lunch healthy snacks in between. Then a nice healthy tea, in a just over a year I had gone from a size 44 waist down to a 36. My energy levels are up I now go to the gym have found I like spin classes too. I also then added uplift when i go to the gym a natural energy drink. Plus perform after the gym to stop the Doms kicking in.
