Soraya’s Smile Says it All
After Dropping Over 2 Stone in Just 3 Months
Soraya is a 35 year old busy, single mum of two lively kids, a boy of 11 and a girl of 6. Working as a Head Chef, her days were centred around preparing delicious foods, a constant source of temptation. This, coupled with post baby weight and being stuck in a controlling relationship where her every move (even down to the food she ate) was dictated for her, led her weight to balloon to over 12 stone. She was tired, defeated and miserable. She knew that life could not continue as it was - something had to give.
By September 2019, she had finally had enough and took the brave step of walking out of her relationship and beginning a new life with her children. Life wasn’t easy as a single mum, juggling work, caring for the kids and running a house, but she was determined to make a happier home for them all.
Her weight was getting her down, however and she embarked on a series of “diets”. She had some success in the past with a local slimming club but progress was slow, taking a whole year to drop a stone and just like before on the Cabbage Soup Diet and lots of other “miracle” plans she tried, as soon as she came off the diet, the weight just piled straight back on in a fraction of the time it had taken her to lose it. She was going round and round in circles - getting nowhere fast.
In October 2020, her weight was back up to 11st 13lbs when she heard about the Nutriseed 5:2 Club. Having done a Nutriseed Juice cleanse previously, she was confident that she could happily enjoy 2 days, spaced out over each week, with the cold pressed juices and felt there was nothing to lose (except her excess weight). If it didn’t work - she could always cancel her subscription.
Two of her girlfriends thought this was just another of Soraya’s “hair brained” schemes to shed weight and were sceptical to say the least.
As they too wanted to get back in shape - they decided to up the stakes.
Hoping for an end in sight to lockdown, all three put £20 in a kitty to see, by Christmas, which of them would lose the most. The week before Christmas, the “winner” would get the £60 to splurge out on a new outfit.
So, bearing in mind her previous track record, without too much in the way of expectation, Soraya began her 5:2 Club journey. She attended the weekly group calls and was really surprised to find that even having had weekend takeaways, she was down 5lbs at the end of the first week. From that point, she never looked back, week after week the pounds came off, some weeks 2, some weeks 3 and not once had she maintained or gained. She didn’t feel deprived in any way and still had weekly treat nights and takeaways along with a glass or two of wine.
With each passing week, her confidence grew and by mid-December, when the friends came back together, Soraya was down to 9st 11lbs and the clear winner of the Christmas kitty. Here she is wearing her prize and looking absolutely gorgeous.
Life has changed for Soraya on so many levels. It’s not just about the weight loss, her skin is clearer than it’s been in years, she’s sleeping better, back to exercising, she smiles all the time, her confidence is at an all time high and she is loving life again.
(Did I mention there’s also a new man on the scene? It’s early days, but the signs are great and one thing is certain - the new Soraya will never settle for a relationship that doesn’t value the strong, beautiful, confident woman she has become )
