Meet Liz, our December Rockstar who has lost over 23% of her starting weight!
I have been overweight for all of my life (at least since I was 10) so when I started to think about retirement and the health issues with getting older I really needed to make some changes. I have tried every diet on the planet and they would work for a while and then my willpower would fail and I would get despondent and see the pounds going back on. Sometimes more even than I had lost.
I started to get more and more depressed and went to my doctor to see if she could help. She referred me to Enara and it’s been the best thing I ever did. It’s not a diet, it’s more of a lifestyle change and with the encouragement of Rebecca and then Andrea I learned to modify my eating, add simple, regular walking to my day and also to give myself a break if I wasn’t perfect.
I love the plate method and with the help of farro, I’ve even managed to enjoy my roasted vegetables. During this weight loss journey I have been able to spend 6 weeks in Europe, enjoying the food in moderation and still maintain my weight loss. There have been periods when I’ve plateaued but a few weeks on VLCD has moved things down again.
I think I’m nearly where I need to be, I’m much more energetic and able to run around after my grandson. If I lose a few more points that’s fine, if not that’s fine too, I’m finally comfortable in my own skin and confident that I have the skills necessary to make good decisions. Thank you Enara!
