ana lost 30.3kg in 39 weeks!*

When I sat down to write this I thought it would be extremely easy. I could say how much Jenny Craig has changed my life, how amazing it felt to get married 20kg lighter and feeling beautiful or even how amazing it is to be able to walk into any store and be able to fit anything in there. But it is so much more then that!

The day I joined Jenny Craig I thought I didn't need to lose weight, I thought that even though I was bordering on a size 20 I was healthy. I had spent the morning trying on these beautiful wedding dresses but as we left the store my mum dragged me across the road to the Jenny Craig building. We both joined up that day pretty sceptical that it was actually going to work. I can honestly say, it did!!! When I got married I was still 10 kgs away from my goal weight, but I didn't care!

I looked like a princess and felt so beautiful. I had my dream day and have since got to my goal weight of 70kgs.

From the very first week it has almost like every consultant in there is your best friend, always interested in how much weight you have lost or even there to offer some encouragement if the week that you had thought was good, didn't quite show on the scales. I can honestly say that I don't think I could have done it without the help of Celeste, my consultant. She has been there the whole time to offer support and advice that has at times been much needed.

Even though I feel amazing, I still have a fear of putting it all back on. In my first month of maintenance a couple of those sneaky kilos found their way back on but after re assessing what I was eating I dropped back down and have since managed to keep them away. I am slowly gaining the confidence that I will be able to keep it off.

I would highly recommend doing this journey with someone. It made all the difference to me having my mum there knowing what I was going through. It turned into a bit of a competition with us where every week as we were trying to outdo each other on the scale - may I just add that I believe she only bet me once!

Thanks Jenny!
