WINNER OF BIGGEST LOSER COMPETITON AUSTRALASIA WIDE!

ANDREA ARNOTT - HAMILTON BASED

I started my journey with Healthy Inspirations a voluptuous size 16-18.  I had been a stay at home mum with my two children for five years, and in that time I had enjoyed finishing the kids meals, baking  and I had given up smoking.  All resulting in weight gain.   When I gave up smoking I entered triathlons something I had always had a desire to do.  I completed my first triathlon and although I was pleased to finish I felt deflated to have finished it in second to last position.  After seeing one of my friends who looked amazing transform herself through Health Inspirations I rang and consequently I joined with the goal of achieving a healthy BMI and running faster.  I was concerned initially that like all diets I had tried in the past and all attempts to get fit this would be just another unsuccessful attempt.  Healthy Inspirations is different with their approach to anything I had previously done.  Through support and encouragement, I came to look forward to the gym workouts and sharing my achievements.  The gym had fun ways of keeping up your momentum through little competitions like Slimmer of the Month and the Biggest Loser Challenge this appealed to me and for the first time in my life I won something.  The rewards system suited me perfectly because there were rewards for every milestone you met along the way.  So through my journey of losing 31 Kilograms I never lost sight of the goal and celebrated along the way.  I am currently a Size 8 and have a Healthy BMI for the first time since leaving secondary School.  I have competed in two quarter marathons and both times finished in the top 25% of my age group.  I am at this time training for my first sprint distance triathlon, and am competing in a 90Kilometre cycle race, I feel amazing.  I look forward to taking my children to the park to play alongside them, and swimming with them at the pools.  My husband has been very supportive all the way through by training alongside me and celebrating every success.   I had along the way.  I cannot believe that through my journey at Healthy Inspirations food has become something that does not control the way that I feel about myself, it is a healthy way of sustaining your energy levels.

Erin Blithe - February 2011

 I joined up at Healthy Ispirations in December 2010 as I was feeling fat and grumpy and was not exercising much.  I was the heaviest I had ever been at 64kg, I felt I had to do something to reduce my weight and be able to fit the clothes that I had bought.  I had been a lifetime member of Weight Watchers but knew that I would have to work on diet and exercise together.

I enquired about the programme and what they have to offer at Healthy Inspiations and decided to join up.  I managed to reach my goal weight of 57kg at the end of February and am at present on a balaced plan to keep my weight stable.

I feel it is a combination of diet and exercise and the team at Healthy Inspirations have assisted me with this. 

 I feel a lot better in myself for the weight loss and have more energy.

Joy Morris-Linton - My Weight Journey

"I joined Healthy Inspirations 3 years ago just after they opened.. I have struggled with my weight all my life.  I have lost it through other programs, but never really kept it off.

I have lost 17.4kg and have managed to keep it off for over three years now.

I feel the two secrets of Healthy Inspirations is once you know the program it becomes a lifestyle.  Keeping up the exercise is the other secret.

I feel so much better, healthier, and so much more confident about myself.

I have gone from a size 20 to a size 14 and feel great about going into a shop and finding clothes that look good on me.

Thank you Healthy Inspirations for this program."

Sheila D lost it at Healthy Inspirations

"I came to Healthy Inspirations after I found I was having to buy bigger clothes and couldn’t go into just any shop and buy what I wanted. I’ve tried several other weight loss programs, both in England (where I moved from several years ago) and in New Zealand. I needed something different. I met Melissa at the Women’s Expo, took a leaflet and mulled over whether I could afford it or whether I could afford not to and whether I was ready to make it work. I plucked up the courage to phone for an appointment – and it took a lot of courage - the best thing I’ve done for myself in years.

Coming to the centre 3 times a week was hard at first, trying to fit it in but I got into a routine, which could be altered if I had to, but was pretty much fixed in stone – it had to be for me. I found weighing 3 times a week a great boost, it kept me motivated to carry on as I could see the scales going down every couple of days. I focused on my goal statement; I wanted to be able to fit into a lovely blue dress which was hanging in my wardrobe which I hadn’t been able to wear for 8 years. I always felt it might fit one day so couldn’t bear to part with it.

Small 100g losses, which don’t seem enough at the time, soon turned into 1kg losses which felt great. Seeing the centimetres shrinking when my measurements were taken was fantastic and quite unbelievable at times. The support I got from Vicki, Melissa, Donna, Karan and Steph was great. On the days when I was finding it tough they always had an idea to be focused on and always pointed out the positives.
Unlike other weight loss programs, I didn’t have to wait a whole week to see someone and then get lost in the crowd when other voices demanded the attention and that has been a real key to my success. Even if I have only come to the centre to use the equipment there is always the opportunity to chat about problems or share good things that have happened.

I’ve moved my goal weight several times but each time it was my decision not someone telling me I should be a particular weight. I’m now at a weight I feel I can maintain and am on lifestyle after losing 23kg. I have set myself a weight which I do not want to go above and so far (fingers crossed) have managed to stay below it. I am now 2/3 sizes smaller than I was when I began my journey and I feel I’m in control. I walk into shops, pick something off the rack, try it on and am still surprised when it fits; it’s a wonderful feeling which I’m determined to hold onto this time.
I can now fit into my lovely blue dress but my shape has changed in 8 years and in doesn’t look good anymore, but guess what, I’ve bought myself another lovely dress which just happens to be blue so it’s all good."

Rosemarie lost 15 kilos on the Healthy Inspirations Great Shape Program

"Finally I made up my mind to get serious about my fitness ( or lack of it) and do something about the ever increasing kilos.

I signed up with Healthy Inspirations in Hamilton and under the guidance and support of Vicki and her team, I slowly but surely stated to shed excess kilos and centimetres.

The food journal helped keep me on track and using “everyday foods” made following the plan easier.

I have lost 15kgs and 61cm.

THANK YOU HEALTHY INSPIRATIONS."

! Lost 34 kg and 150 cm !

"I joined Healthy Inspirations in October 2007 with my daughter. She was asked by a friend to join her in a challenge that they were holding at the centre. Being under 18, I had to go with her so I could hear about the program and give my permission. We both liked it so much that we both joined that very day. 

I mean, here is a centre that not only offers an exercise circuit, but has a weight loss program as well!

But what really made me believe that I could succeed was seeing a poster on the wall with a “before and after” shot of one of the staff members. I remember thinking, “she’s been on this program and succeeded. She knows exactly what I’m going through. If she can do it, I can do it!” She was, and still is, my Inspiration.

That was 7 months ago. I’m now 36kg lighter and feel great.  Although I haven’t reached my goal weight yet, I know with the guidance and support of staff, family and friends, I will succeed. So ladies, if you need to lose a little or a lot of weight, or you just want the exercise, I recommend that you give this program a go. The one-on-one coaching plus the regular weigh-in’s will keep you on track. This program works and it will change your life. It has mine."

Dorothy

! Lost 18.4 kg and 60 cm !

"Twelve months ago, I decided to do something about my weight and fitness.  I had seen the ads for Healthy Inspirations so on the spur of the moment, I decided to call and make an appointment.  I must admit, that I was a bit skeptical about it, but on meeting Tammy I felt that I might be on the right track.  I agreed to sign up and lost 2 kilos the first week.  I haven't looked back since, I have now lost over 20 kilos, feel a lot fitter and much healthier.

I have tried many diets in the past but have found that Healthy Inspirations is the best and the most successful of them all.  However, without the support and inspiration of the consultants, I know that I would not have been so successful.  The girls are a delight, they are always positive, happy, friendly and supportive. There is never any pressure and if at anytime I thought that I had not done as well as I had expected, they were always there to boost me up and encourage me.  Their encouragement gave me the confidence to keep going and not give up. 

It has been a wonderful journey, the compliments I receive from friends and family are great and because I have been successful, I have been able to inspire quiet a lot of my friends to join as well.  I could not have done it without them."

Kerrie

! Lost 13.4 kg and 35 cm !

“Just go for it!” said my good friend, Dorothy, after losing 20kgs at Healthy Inspirations Armidale.  I thought if she can do it - so can I. I was very determined to succeed and with the help and encouragement of the Healthy Inspirations girls I knew I could get my goal. The staff encouraged me without any pressure, just reassurance that I could get to my goal. They were there every step I took and when I did not achieve a loss they would encourage me to keep working hard.

I had three months off after having a knee replacement and found it hard starting up again but I was determined to get to my goal weight. The last two kilos were the hardest as the day I started again I got a blood clot in my leg from my knee surgery and was put on  medication which held me back a bit. I soldiered on and here I am, 13.4kgs lighter, 35cm smaller and very proud of myself. My family were amazed with my progress and my granddaughter said she was very proud of me. This has made it all the more rewarding.

You can do it too, just get motivated and you will get there just like me!
