I suffer from Crohn’s disease which can be very limiting in terms of diet, but after my second successful surgery in 2018, I could finally eat whatever I wanted. The only problem being I started eating way too much of everything. After some unexplained chest pain and with my fitness really flagging, I knew it was time to do something about all the weight I had gained. With a milestone birthday on the horizon, I set myself the goal of being “Fit, Fab & Fifty” for my big party.
Before
After
I started my Lite n' Easy journey at the beginning of the year and ordered the Lite Meal Plan. There were no tricks, just sensible eating with lots of flexibility for work travel, dinners out with friends, or a Friday night cheese party. I was initially concerned that there wouldn’t be enough variety to keep me going, especially as a pescetarian, but I have found so many meals in the plan that I really enjoy.
Once I started losing weight, I bought an aspirational party dress in April to keep me motivated towards my goal. By the time my party came around in August, I had lost 25 kilos and fitted into that dress with room to spare. The theme was ‘sparkle and shine’ and I felt amazing.
My approach from the start was not too strict and no crazy exercise regime required, maintaining flexibility for work events and weekend social activities. My weight loss was slow and steady, and I was more than happy with that as I knew this approach was sustainable for the long term. It’s a bit like my approach to Park Run (more a shuffle than a run!). I am back enjoying it and have shaved 20% off my 5km time.
Losing weight is great but an unexpected and added bonus of being on the Lite n’ Easy program is not having to think about food and what to eat every day. Taking that mental load away has been life changing and justifies staying on the program indefinitely.
Even though I am at my goal weight now, I will continue with Lite n' Easy as a way to support my busy work lifestyle and maintain a healthy weight. I order extra dinners for my husband which is great for weeknights.
