Starting Her New You Journey
New You: What led to you wanting to lose weight?
Suzanne: Back in 2021 my husband had been very ill and I was his carer. After a long battle, he died in July 2021. Before he died, my mother was diagnosed with cancer and she died 8 months later. I was also looking after my brother who had MS and was bed bound.
During that time, especially after the passing of my husband and mother I turned to comfort food and the weight piled on.
Fast forward to December 2023 and on my 72nd birthday, I was in so much pain, I could hardly move. My doctor told me that this was normal – that I was getting old and put it down to the ageing process. Walking more than a few yards had me in agony and in tears. On my birthday a friend took a photo of me and when I saw it, I was horrified. I was shocked at how big I was. My arms were massive and my waist was in the 40s.
New You: Why did you choose The New You Plan?
Suzanne: My daughter was also grieving and put weight on weight as well. In January this year, we talked about dieting and she joined the Cambridge Diet. In February I saw an advert on Facebook for The New You Plan. After looking at the website and seeing how many varieties there were, I decided to try it. I lost 6lbs in my first week. By week 3 I had persuaded my daughter to ditch Cambridge and join me on The New You Plan. By week 12 I had lost 3 stone and I am now mostly maintaining by having 2 New You meals per day and one low calorie meal. If I have a cheat day, then the next day I go fully on plan. My daughter who was much heavier than me has lost 6 stone.
New You: And tell us about that first week…
Suzanne: My first week went vey well. I was hungry during the first three days hungry but after that, it was easy.
New You: What are your go-to meals & snacks?
Suzanne: I love the Apple and Cinnamon biscuits! They’re great with a cuppa.
Life Changing Results…
How would you say the plan has changed your life?
Suzanne: The biggest change is that I can now walk miles without pain. I feel like going back to my doctor and saying “Hey it’s not old age, take a look at me now!” I also love wearing dresses, which I never did before. I’m 72, a grandmother of 5 and a great grandmother of 4 and I’m feeling great!
New You: What has being on plan taught you so far?
Suzanne: Being on plan has taught me that my portions were far too big! You didn’t need to eat as much as I was to feel full and satisfied. I’ve also learned that I can still enjoy a little of what I love and go back on plan to offset it.
New You: What are you most looking forward to when you reach your goal?
Suzanne: Losing 3 stone was my original goal as I haven’t been 12 stone in 20 years. I’ve achieved that so now I want to slowly lose a further stone. That would be bring me to 11 stone and it’s at least 30 years since I was that weight!
New You: Any memorable non-scale victories you’d like to share?
Suzanne: Being able to wear clothes both old and new! There was no way I would have worn that orange dress previously. It’s nice to be able to wear what I like and feel comfortable and confident at 72.
New You: What is the nicest compliment you have received since losing weight?
Suzanne: I’ve been told many times now that I look 20 years younger. When I’m with my 32 year old grand daughter people think I must be her mum – I’m 73 this December! I get compliments everywhere I go. We joined English Heritage in the summer and when I asked for the OAP rate, I was looked at with raised eyebrows. When I showed my ID I was met with compliments and “OMG how come you look so young?!”
New You: If you could go back in time to when you were beginning the plan, what piece of advice would you give yourself?
Suzanne: Make sure you order lots of different packs. Variety is the best way to discover your favourites. I was on the plan 12 weeks before I found my favourite Mexican Tacos!
Whether you want to lose half a stone or 10 stone*, have a slimmer figure, or are just looking to get maximum nutrition in minimum time, then New You can make the perfect partner to get you to where you want to be.
