Lets Hear It For The Girls Expo

 The weekend of the 5th and 6th of November saw the team from Healthy Inspirations with a stand set up at the "Lets Hear It For The Girls Expo" ready, willing and waiting to talk the ladies of Taranaki.  It was a huge weekend with over 200 ladies visiting our stand, making enquiries and commenting on the vast array of photos on display of our Taranaki Ladies that have reached their goal.

Our congratulations go out to Mrs. Kasey Hunt who won a 12 week membership for free.

We were even lucky enough to meet and chat with Irene Van Dyke and be cheeky enough to ask a Body Composition could be done - wow that was interesting.

Talk about a difference in height

 Jo About 11 months ago I decided to do something about my weight issue. I have always been over weight for as long as I can remember. There was an advert in the Midweek Newspaper from Healthy Inspirations (an eating and exercise programme). There were wanting volunteers to go on a weight loss survey, I responded to the advert and this started me on my weight loss journey. By following a healthy eating programme, alongside regular exercise, I have had the kilos fall off. With the support I have got from the staff at Healthy Inspirations, my colleagues at IDEA Services, family and friends I have been able to stick to the programme set out for me. Since starting the programme I have become more active and I exercise at the gym 5 times a week. I completed a 1/2 the Half Marathon (9km) in October 2010, participated in the Olex fun walks and the Relay for Life. My next goal is to complete the Half Marathon (21km) in October this year. I have also joined the Walkers and Joggers group which meet every Sunday morning to do walks to train for the Half Marathon and I also do other walks during the week. I have not only lost kilos and centimetres, but I have also dropeed from a size 26-28 to a size 18 in clothing. I am excited to loose another 2 dress sizes and have set myself another goal to loose another 10kg by the end of October. By loosing this weight I am feeling more confident within myself and about myself. Clothes shopping used to be a drag as I was limited to what I was able to fit - now I have a wide selection of clothes to choose from. I also have gained more energy and we all know that it takes a lot of energy to go shopping.  What made me want to loose the weight now? I had changed my role in work from a Community Support Worker to a Manager. I was no longer busy supporting the Service Users on a daily basis, but in the office and I found that my chair was getting smaller. What has kept me going? The support I have recieved has been huge and I felt I had to be accountable. I now recieve compliments constantly on how well I look and how great I am doing. And also I didn't want everyone to say "I knew you wouldn't stick to it". I have really surprised myself that I have been able to change my eating habits, lifestyle and stick with the programme. To be honest I didn't think I would stick to it like I have. I have tried other diets like Weight Watchers wth no success. Now that I have the "I can do it attitude", I feel anyone can do it. So "THE CHALLENGE IS YOURS".

Having struggled with my weight since the birth of my first child 15 years ago, I found that becoming a health coach for Healthy Inspirations has changed things for me considerably.

I've tried a lot of other top end diets combining those with spending countless hours at the gym pushing heavy weights and everything turned out to be Yo's Yo's.

Now with the combination of working in a great environment, having the support from not only my colleagues but also the members who can become great friends, finally getting myself eating and exercising properly the results that I am seeing in the weeks since starting are amazing.

My first big hit was a couple of weeks ago walking out into the lounge to hear my daughter ask where I got my jeans from and being able to reply to her that they have been sitting in my wardrobe and I havent been able to fit them since I became pregnant with her was just the best feeling I have had in a long time.

I joined Healthy Inspirations in June 2010. I have tried lots of different diets over the years but haven't been able to stick to them. Healthy Inspirations has taught me a lot about healthy eating and how much to eat and the right foods to eat to keep me healthy while losing weight. It has also taught me the importance of including exercise into my life and feeling good about myself so I can reach my goals. With the right help and encouragement from the inspirational coaches I will lose my last few kilo's. Thanks a million Healthy Inspirations you inspired me to do it.

Lost 14kg at this stage and 61.6cm.

Lost 28.7kg and 83.2cm

January 2011 I started on my weight loss and healthy living journey with Healthy Inspirations in New Plymouth and this has changed my life so much that it's incredible. I weighed in at 113.3kg and I am now 84.6kg a loss of 28.7kg and still going down and with a loss of 83.2cm. I now understand the types of food much better than I ever have and what is good and not so good food and the joys of exercise. I have struggled with my weight since I was in my mid twenties and have tried many weight loss programs over the years only to put the weight back on. None of these programs help with the exercise that was needed to go with the weight loss. Since 2005 I have had a Muscle Illness called Dermatimyositis, this hit me really bad as it restricted what I wanted to do, I was always tired unable to do things for myself and needed a lot of help with day to day living. This slowly improved and by January 2009 I was coming but with a bit of a weight gain and them I was told I had breast cancer and went through treatment throughout all of 2009. After that I tried to loose weight by myself but found that to be very unsuccessful as I had only lost 4kg. A promotion pamphlet came through the post so I went to see what it was about knowing that I only wanted to eat every day foods as I loved to grow my own veggies, it was there I met up with a wonderful and inspiring team at Healthy Inspirations and the weight loss program looked as though it would suit me. I struggled to get there, walking from my car, climbing the stairs and getting onto some of the exercise machines was an effort but I was determined to see how I went. As the weeks went by the weight was coming down, my breathing was better and I bounced back to my car after a workout I was over the moon. Going shopping for new clothes is much much easier now as I have dropped from a size 24 plus down to a size 14 to 16 I was overwhelmed at my choices of clothing it was a lot to get used to, I can now walk into any shop and feel great about myself it has changed my life and Healthy Inspirations is not part of it. I feel so great about myself and I am so much fitter nothing gets in my way now. I had a relapse of my muscle illness in May this year and went back on medication and still managed to loose weight, this time it was easier to handle and I am back to normal again and weaning off the medication. I have had a lot of support from my family and friends and most of all the team at Healthy Inspirations in New Plymouth, they support you and there is no pressure, this is why I have succeeded and I would like to thank everyone concerned.

I chose Healthy Inspirations as their advert in the paper caught my eye at the right time.  After turning 40 and being really down about my body and appearance, I was really determined to make a change.  The girls there made me feel comfortable straight away, that is a big part of why the plan and circuit worked for me.   Losing weight has changed so much of my life,  I feel fit and healthy and eager to be moving all of the time.  I am studying towards a degree and I am a confident and outgoing member of my class, this is because I am so comfortable with who I am now.  Life is good.
