Annamarie's story

How much weight have you lost and how long did it take?

I've lost 3st 2lbs 44lbs 20kg over a 18 month period. I was 12st 4lbs, back in June 2018 I am now 9st 2lbs128lbs58kg.

What prompted your decision to lose weight?

My health and looking after my now 4 year old son. I realised I'm no spring chicken to run around him after him, also to be a role model when it comes to food decisions.

How did you hear about Nutracheck?

I've been a member since 2007. I cannot remember how I heard about Nutracheck, but I was searching for a calorie counter, the rest is history.

Has your weight stayed fairly consistent over the years, or have you always had to manage it?

I have always had to manage my weight. The minute I stopped counting my calories I'd stray back to old habits of overeating.

How easy was it to fit the changes you made into your lifestyle?

Relatively easy once I got into a routine, I could plan and organise to fit round my lifestyle

What was the most difficult thing?

Birthdays and going away. Probably as I couldn't control what I was eating so much and fearing I'd just fail.

How do you feel now compared to before?

I have so much more energy and I feel happier with my relationship with food.

Any notable milestones to report?

Every milestone was notable, I would aim for 10% of my weight each time. Getting down to 10st I was happy, but now I'm closer to 9st I'm at my ideal weight and happy to maintain.

What tip would you give to anyone who has weight to lose?

1. Don't cut out treats.
2. Don't call it a diet.
3. And keep moving! (exercise)
