Angela, a 52-year-old healthcare worker from Stoke, had struggled with her weight for most of her life, and tried a variety of fad diets to no avail.
“I used to wear all black, black tops, black trousers, black everything. As the middle sister of 3 girls, I was always ‘the fat one’, I never wanted to go shopping with them. I was too insecure. I hated pictures of myself when they were uploaded online. It was a vicious cycle, I’d eat rubbish, feel bad about eating the rubbish so I’d end up just eating more.
“I tried silly diets to lose weight, even one where all I’d eat is Weetabix, chicken and vitamins! It wasn’t sustainable and I was struggling. But then I drove past Bodyline Clinic in Stoke and decided to make a change.”
Once Angela got in touch with Bodyline, she was put on a personalised programme with the help of medical appetite suppressant Phentermine. And now, Angela is a completely different person!
From insecurity to total confidence
With the support of Bodyline, Angela lost 4 stone and dropped 10 clothes sizes, going from a size 22 to a size 12-14!
“I’m just so incredibly proud of myself and I’m just finally in the right mindset. There’s no going back now, not a chance!”
Angela did so well with her weight loss in the first few months with help from the appetite suppressant alone, she began incorporating more healthy habits into her life, including more walking.
“I started drinking water, that’s one thing I never did before but the nurses really helped and encouraged me to make these little changes. Now I don’t go a day without drinking 3 litres of water!
“It used to be a packet of biscuits when I got in, but now I’m eating fruit. And exercise, well I was too insecure to walk out of the door, let alone go to the gym. But now I’m a different person, walking everywhere and fitter than ever before.
“In fact, recently I got the courage to complete the 3 peaks challenge in Yorkshire!”
That’s right, with the help of Bodyline’s bespoke medical weight loss programmes, Angela has gotten healthier and fit enough to walk the peaks of Yorkshire – that’s 24 miles in 12 hours! And it’s not just her amazing fitness achievements that makes her so confident…
“My entire wardrobe has completely changed. Now I enjoy shopping, I went shopping in a local boutique in the town centre where nothing would have fit my body before. I ended up buying myself a playsuit – something I’ve always wanted to wear but had been too big for one. Now I wear it all the time!”
Along the Bodyline journey
The medical weight loss programme with Bodyline fit around Angela’s lifestyle perfectly, allowing her to lose weight effectively and quickly, without being unsustainable or a chore.
“The whole process has been so easy; it’s been really good! The nurses at Bodyline are so lovely, they never make you feel bad the way other weight loss groups can. When I put a few pounds back on over Christmas they never made me feel guilty, just helped me get straight back into it!
“I only needed to see them once a month, which worked out perfectly. Weekly meetings or check-ins can get really tedious, but with Bodyline it was fine, and the nurses were just so encouraging!”
