Best Self Discovery Transformation: Ally Lost 4st 4lbs* & Won £1000 Cash In Our Transformation Challenge Meet Ally, one of our July/August Transformation Challenge Winners. In less than a year, Ally didn’t just change her weight — she changed her world. After years of putting everyone else first, battling burnout from a demanding career in education, and feeling stuck in a cycle of diets that never quite stuck, she drew a line in the sand: this year, I’m going to love myself a little more. That promise turned into powerful action – a New You Sprint to simplify food, yoga to calm the mind and strengthen the body, daily habits that honoured her energy, and a kinder way of speaking to herself.
