Wendy is a single mum of two teenage lads and had spent the majority of her adult life battling her weight. We first met in January 2016 and she agreed to a catch up chat in June 2016 so that she could share her progress through this case study.
Wendy had reached the point where she was unsure what to do next. She had tried every slimming club, every fad diet and even did diets out of the Sunday newspapers. All without medium term success, let alone long term success.
Nothing seemed to work longer than a week or two.
Wendy before Weight Loss Mastermind
Wendy was having just two boiled eggs a day in an attempt to “be good”. When she ate anything “bad” she felt like a failure and beat herself up mentally. This meant that she then opened the floodgates and binged for the following few days. This then triggered the next round of “being good” and so the cycle continued.
She was on the brink of giving up and accepting her 2 stone excess. When Wendy was considering working with Richard from Weight Loss Mastermind she was afraid that if his help didn’t work that she had literally nothing else she could do to lose weight. Wendy said that the website sounded great and that it could be worth a try.
The guarantee also made it easy to give it a go but there was still some concern that it might not work for her –
“I didn’t dare believe it could work”
Before Wendy lost weight
Wendy had done Weight Watchers for more than twenty years and had seen the same people come and go in that time. Seeing others yo-yo in weight but still do the same technique that was obviously not working made her keen to try something different that worked for her.
She had done countless fad diets all to no avail. Then Wendy searched Google for “ways to lose weight” that didn’t involve slimming clubs and fad diets and she found Weight Loss Mastermind.
Wendy was so convinced after looking at the Weight Loss Mastermind website that she read more and more about what was offered and why it was different to everything that she had tried before. She didn’t shop around and look for different providers, she just got more curious about what was on offer and how it could be exactly what she was looking for.
She had previously realised that her old weight issue was all in her head. She had known that all along when she was doing the Slim Fast Plan and cabbage soup diet etc. She knew her thoughts were the thing that needed addressing in order to succeed but just didn’t know how to do that. Until she found Weight Loss Mastermind and at that point it just clicked into place.
Wendy loves her new look and attitude
Wendy was a little hesitant, and understandably so. She had done so many diets that had promised the Earth and delivered next to nothing. Was this REALLY going to be the thing that made the difference? She hoped so but couldn’t be sure. Luckily the guarantee from Weight Loss Mastermind made it very easy for Wendy to give it a go and find out for herself. There was nothing to lose (except the excess weight!) so she jumped in and hasn’t looked back.
As a result of suspending her disbelief Wendy has experienced a transformation that has affected not just her weight but her whole life. “I didn’t dare believe it could work” said Wendy but work it has. She joined Richard for her initial consultation in January 2016 and by May 2016 had dropped 19lb/1.3 stone/8.6 kg at a steady rate and progress is still ongoing. She is drinking 1.5 litres of water every day and she is now “proud” of what she eats.
There is a balance to what she eats and a sense of genuine control. She had a slice of pizza and enjoyed it but didn’t want more. She occasionally has a biscuit with a cup of tea but doesn’t eat half a packet of them! One of the biggest bonuses from the process has been that 10 years of IBS symptoms have stopped. This means that Wendy feels so much more confident in herself and what she is doing which has spurred her on even more.
“It would have been worth the price of the sessions just to get rid of the IBS, to lose weight as well has been wonderful”
Many people wonder if making these kinds of changes is sustainable. It is true that every individual is different. However Wendy knows that because the Weight Loss Mastermind process has been different to everything else she has ever done there is no way that she will go back to her old life. The benefits have been so substantial that she knows that this is for keeps.
Wendy’s before and after picture
“The longer I do this the more I value it” said Wendy. This new approach even had an effect on her holiday. Normally this was a time to ditch the diets and to relax. That meant eating more and drinking more, with a promise that after the holiday she would go back on the diet and “be good” and to try and undo the indulgences of her time away. Not now though!
When Wendy recently went on holiday to Portugal for 2 weeks she didn’t put on a single ounce. She had a wonderful time. She ate. She drank. But she retained that sense of proportion and control. That meant that her weight remained the same.
Wendy now looks different and she feels different. “I know people are looking differently at me now” she said. The transformation is still ongoing but Wendy feels supported and empowered to make her life more how she would like it to be.
She now realises that change comes from within and now she is tapping into her strength, her imagination and her desire to happy and healthy she feels her quality of life is much better than it was.
“If you can sort yourself out why would you do Slimming World?”
Why indeed!
