Joanne's story

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

I have lost 5st 7lbs77lbs34.9kg in total so far since starting my journey with Nutracheck. It has taken me about a year.

What prompted your decision to lose weight?

I hurt my back a while ago, and could only walk for 20 minutes at a time, so I joined Lynda Leadbetter's Beeweighed who advised me to use Nutracheck - and I'm glad I did, as it was so easy to fit into my lifestyle!

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

I've always had to keep an eye on my weight, and try to manage it, which hasn't been easy.

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

Using Nutracheck every day has been such an easy thing to add to my lifestyle - I love that I can still eat what I want, just being mindful of portion sizes. I love that I can walk all day now, not just for 20 minutes at a time, and I've even started doing Pilates, circuit training and running!

What was the most difficult thing about your weight-loss journey?

It may sound odd, but really there’s been nothing difficult about it - I've found the process easy.

How do you feel now compared to before?

I feel so much fitter, healthier and more confident since I began this process.

Any notable milestones to report/non-scale victories?

Probably the biggest achievement has been reversing my diabetes and lowering my cholesterol, both of which have been hugely important for my overall health. Not only this, but my dress size has gone from a 20/22 to a 10/12, and I've lost 39 inches off my body.

What 3 tips would you give to anyone who has weight to lose?

1. Do it for yourself.
2. Do small milestones.
3. Have fun with food, trying new things and adapting your favourite recipes.
