I started my transition with LYFN as a last ditch attempt to loose the extra weight I have carried for some years. I tried the different diet fads and quick fixes but the weight never stayed off!

Last year I was asked to be a bridesmaid at my brothers wedding this May, and realising that there will be a professional photographer and photos taken at all angles I decided that I did not want to look back and regret how I looked and felt on that day. I hate having my photo taken at the best of times but I knew that these photos will be shown to so many people and be around for years to come. With that thought in my head I decided to sign up to the 28 day challenge, with a push in the right direction from a friend who had already completed it.

Within 28 days I could already see big changes in the way I felt and looked so I signed up. I am now 12 weeks in, and have 12 weeks left until the wedding…so far I have lost 16 inches!

won’t lie and say it’s been easy, changing habits of a lifetime and keeping motivated has been hard but with the support of Ross and the LYFN ladies I am well on my way to being where I want to be. If anyone had told me that I would be happy getting up at 5.45 three mornings a week I would have laughed, my friends and family still can’t believe I’m doing it, but I love boot camp! I love walking away feeling like I’ve pushed myself and I don’t even mind my muscles aching. For a year I had a gym membership and I can probably count on my hands the amount of times I used it. Ross puts a lot of thought into every session and makes it varied to keep us all motivated and coming back for more!

I also never thought I’d cope without my favourite unhealthy foods as I thought my diet would need to be restricted, but you know what I don’t miss anything because the food tastes so good and there’s so many recipes to choose from. I used to snack on unhealthy food a lot particularly in the evenings, but I can honestly say this is no longer an issue. It’s not to say I don’t have the occasional treat, but it’s all in moderation and there are ‘clean’ treats to enjoy. One of the things I love about clean eating is that it doesn’t stop you from having dinner with friends or going out in the evening but it teaches you to make healthier choices from the options you have. I feel so much better in myself from eating the way I have been, a massive change from before LYFN.

There have been so many occasions that I have been proud of myself for making the right choices, it might sound silly but this is my hardest struggle. Popping into a coffee shop for lunch with friends I would always have a cake and drink, last week I went in and had a tap water and i didn’t feel I was missing out. Of course I could have chosen something else which was more exciting than a tap water but why?! These last few weeks have taught me that I can enjoy my food and fill myself up without needing to eat junk food….and it’s saved me money!

Whether it is for a short term goal or a longer transition I would absolutely recommend LYFN as the only option, it isn’t just diet and exercise, for me it has been a lifestyle change and one that I will never regret! I will never try the ‘quick fixes’ again, from now on I will loose the weight and then maintain it by eating clean.
