Julie, March 2009
I am a busy mother of two young girls, before I had my children I never had a weight problem. Over a five year period 30 kilos had crept on.
A combination of lack of sleep, poor diet, eating extra meals with the children and ensuring that their nutritional needs were met, I found myself forgetting to look after my nutritional needs.
Last September I was watching an ISOWHEY show on TVSN and was truly inspired by their presenter Nikki and her success story with ISOWHEY. It was after that program that I decided to order my first pack.
I made up my mind I was going to get back to the weight I was prior to having my children. I had tried many shakes and diets, none of which worked for me. They just didn’t keep me full, or they involved too much preparation for me to maintain the diet with my family and busy lifestyle.
The ISOWHEY program has proved to be the best thing for me as preparation time is minimal and it is very easy to maintain my needs as well as that of my family. Another plus about this program is that there are no joining fees, or weekly weigh ins – everything can be done from home.
The first 2 weeks I was on the intensive program and now allow myself to eat out once a week. From learning about what to eat from the good foods list in the accompanying booklet I was able to eat out without it affecting my weight.
I got through what is usually the toughest time at Christmas and many other family functions and did not gain any weight, in fact I am still losing it.
At 22 weeks I had lost 30 kilos, ISOWHEY made it so easy for me to achieve my goals. One week after starting the program I no longer experienced cravings for the wrong type of foods and I was able to stay on track.
No more hiding in big clothes or avoiding cameras. My confidence levels are high, I am kept full and I have a much higher energy level, which enables me to keep up with my children. Another good thing about ISOWHEY is that it really tastes great.
I only began light exercise during the last 4 weeks of the program to enable me to tone up. The great thing about this diet is that you don’t have to exercise to lose weight.
I know from watching the ISOWHEY shows that a lot of people can relate to my story. A lot of my friends and family have noticed my weight loss and joined the ISOWHEY program each achieving a similar success, which is really great.
When people can see living proof that something works and how easy it is, it helps motivate others to achieve their goals. People at our local Chemist and shops have asked my how I lost the weight and are now using ISOWHEY and also losing weight.
I am now extremely happy with myself when I go clothes shopping because I am now able to buy clothes in the size 10-12 range instead of 18+.
Since March 2009 I have been on the maintenance program, having ISOWHEY only for breakfast and being able to continue eating the right foods has enabled me to maintain my weight loss. The only exercise I do now is a brisk walk for 10-15 minutes 3 times a week, which I wouldn’t have been able to do before I lost my weight.
