The bride who could fit into her dress
Learn the story of the bride who decided to look spectacular for her wedding day. Thanks to CWP she was able to achieve it and feel pretty.
My mother and I have always struggled with our weight. It had been up and down since I met my husband, Stuart, in May 2012.** We started spending a lot of time together and he cooked a lot for me. I really appreciated this gesture as the meals were delicious, but I didn’t notice that the portions were huge.** The food was fine for him, he was active and went to the gym very regularly. Although I had an active job as a waitress at the time, my metabolism was nowhere near his.** “When it finally dawned on me, through the wonder of tagged photos on Facebook. I tried counting calories, exercising more, reducing portion sizes, a low carb diet. But I was only able to reach a little over 66 kilos, but given my height I was still an overweight woman.
I knew something had to change
It still wasn’t ideal and I was starving myself to try to continue losing weight.** “I soon found myself struggling more and more to put on clothes as I gained weight again.** * In July 2016 my mum and I went on our annual mother-daughter trip, this time shopping in Bath. ** Whenever we went into clothing stores, I felt like a whale, nothing I liked looked good and my usual sizes didn’t fit me.** I started crying and knew I had to do something, and Mom wanted to do something for both of us.** “I remembered that I had liked a Facebook page of my friend’s mother, who is a Cambridge Weight Plan consultant. ** I showed mom, googled it and we decided to message her. We organized a meeting the day after we returned from our vacation. We spent the night browsing the consultant’s Instagram, surprised by the results! Go, go, go. ** There are some absolutely fantastic and inspiring people there, all encouraging and supporting each other.
My life with Cambridge Weight Plan
“Although you can have home visits from Consultants, there was something wonderful about going to the consultant’s house and I saw the passion she has for the Plan. We found ourselves amidst scales, a tape measure, and a wall of products, and so the journey began.** “They weighed me and I could have cried. But I knew this was the beginning of a journey and I would never see that number on the scale again.** “Thanks to the support of my Consultant Sue Wilcock, I reached our goal weight within six months of starting.** “The Plan is fantastic and the community is incredible, we have even created our own joint Instagram account. To update people on our progress and give meal ideas.** “I hadn’t really thought about how my weight would affect me on my wedding day.** “I had bought my dress when I was at the lower end of my weight loss before. Which was around 10 stone and 5lb and I knew I wanted to lose some.** “It wasn’t until I started the CWP diet and learned more about how to eat well and change my lifestyle that I realized how fabulous I can feel.** * “I picked up my dress at the end of February and when we took it to the seamstress… she thought the store had ordered the wrong size! There was a lot of excess material and it had to be trimmed a lot. I felt more beautiful than I could have ever imagined on my wedding day and it was all thanks to CWP.” “My mom also managed to find a beautiful outfit that she would never have touched before she lost weight on the Plan. We are completely different, more confident people!” If you want more information on nutrition and health topics, or need advice to find the healthiest eating plan to help you lose weight, ** click here
