"With my 40th birthday approaching, I faced up to the reality that I was overweight.  I was weighing in at 85.2kg, and felt terrible.  To cap it all off, I had just returned from a 10 day holiday in Hawaii, and I couldn’t bear to look at the photos.  I simply looked like twice the woman I felt I was!   

A friend from work had just joined HI and I had heard from others that it was working for lots of women in a similar situation.  So I called, made an appointment and showed up!  That was the hardest part.  As soon as I walked through the door, I knew I had made the right decision, and committed myself to making this thing work.  Week one was difficult.  I had a work function and pretty much couldn’t eat anything that was on offer.  I stuck to the program, it was a challenge, but it felt so good to wake up the next morning and know I had managed to stay on plan.  The power that gave me was probably the moment I realised I could succeed at this program.  I had never been a regular exerciser, but the circuits were so manageable, even in those early days, that it really didn’t feel like hard work.  I began to weigh in at the daily visits, and the kilos started coming off!  Amazing!  Sticking to the program was the key.  I ate what the program said to eat, drank the water and did the circuits.  I started to enjoy the exercise more and more, and began cycling and walking long distances in the weekends.  Life was looking a lot different, no more sitting on the couch eating.  My husband was certainly appreciating the new look me!  By Xmas, I had lost about 9kg and I felt great.  I knew I still had more to lose, and was determined to get there.  Inevitably, things started slowing down, and I, at times, felt very frustrated if my weight stayed the same for more than a visit or two.  Thankfully I had the support of a great team at HI, who helped keep me on track and gave me the knowledge I needed to succeed.  They helped me understand that weight loss is a journey and that no-one loses exactly the same amount each and every week.  It's normal for your weight to move up and down a little during a week, and of course they were right.  

A major milestone for me was the day I tried on a skirt in a size 12.  It was too big.  My usual shopping trip had me either squeezing into a 14, finding it too small, and refusing to go bigger, so walking out of the store empty handed or admitting defeat and buying the 16.   Anyway, the shop assistant said, “try the 10”.  I tried it, it fitted and of course I bought it!  I hadn’t owned a size 10 since I was 20 years old.  I thought that was a fluke and that it must have been a ‘big 10’, but as the weeks went by, I bought more new clothes (the old ones were falling off me) all in a size 10.  It took me a while to convince myself mentally that I was actually small again!  It feels great!  So now I have a new look, a new attitude….. a complete new me!

So thanks Sarah, Jo, Mel, Ange and the rest of the HI Lower Hutt team, I couldn’t have done it without you!!  It took me only 6 months to achieve my goal weight, and knowing I have the knowledge and support I need to keep it off, life looks a lot more fun.  I still see lots of new ladies arrive at the centre for their first visit, and I can see them feeling nervous, just the way I did, but the results speak for themselves!   I am going to celebrate my 40th birthday in 5 weeks in New Caledonia with my husband, and you can be sure I’ll be flashing these holiday snaps to anyone who will look!"

"We’ve all heard the stories about how losing weight has improved our relationships with loved ones.  Whether it be Mums being able to run around the park with their children, or Grandparents being able to spend time with their Grandchildren.

Having the chance of surviving a life changing Double Lung Transplant was the major factor for me joining Healthy Inspirations.

In February of 2007 I was advised that I had become so ill that I needed a Transplant sooner rather than later.  To aide in my recovery, a loss of 6-7kg would assist with the chance that I would not get an infection in the extra fat & tissue that I was carrying.  

I tried and tried on my own, but to no avail.  Then a good friend of mine mentioned that she had joined this great new weight loss centre and that I should join too.  Since October 2007 I have not looked back.  19.6kg lighter and having being able to keep it off with the great encouragement & support of the team I am in the best shape possible to undergo the surgery.  The fact that I have lost so much weight has actually meant that I am now off the ‘active’ list and now on the ‘non active’ list.  This means I will still need the transplant, but due to the weight loss and better health prospects, it will be required later rather than sooner.

An absolute highlight so far was when I was in Auckland last month for my 6 monthly check up, and my specialist came out to the waiting room, looked around and went back to his office with no patient.  The reason? – he’d been looking for me and had not recognised the new slimmed down version!  One of transplant team had to convince him that I was in fact there for my appointment and accompanied him out to the waiting room to ‘find’ me!

So if you are reading this, you have a friend or relative that needs a little push to join you, or you are currently at a plateau in your weight loss journey, I hope my story can inspire you to get back on track and achieve the result you’re after – I have!"
