How Debbie Lost 4 STONE and Has Kept it Off for Over Two Years
When Debbie first reached out, she felt “fat, sluggish and unfit.” Like many people in their 40s and 50s, her energy had dipped, the pounds had crept on, and she knew something needed to change. But it wasn't just about losing weight, It was about getting her spark back.
A Plan With Support That Worked
Debbie teamed up with me for weekly check-ins and regular text support. “Alex was always there,” she says. “I felt very supported. It wasn’t just about what I was eating, it was knowing someone genuinely cared and was in my corner every step of the way.”
A tailored plan using meal replacements offered Debbie a clear, structured way to reduce calories safely while still giving her the flexibility to fit the plan around her busy life. “I chose it because it helped me manage my food intake in a way that felt doable and sustainable. It was safe and straightforward.”
Lessons That Stick
Through her weight loss journey, Debbie didn’t just drop pounds - 4 STONE IN ALL, she picked up lifelong lessons. “I used to just eat food because it was there. Now, I understand it’s not just about eating, it’s about how much, when, and what you’re eating. I learnt to count calories, to understand portion sizes and balance. That’s changed everything.”
Maintaining For Two Years And Counting
Fast forward to today Debbie has not only lost the weight, she’s maintained it for over two years, which is no small feat. “The biggest thing that keeps me on track is having a monthly weigh-in with Alex. I like that accountability, it helps me catch any gain early.”
She still uses meal replacements when needed: “I continue to use products across the month to help balance out overindulgent times. If I feel like I’ve gone too far off track, I go back on plan for a week to bring it back down. It’s flexible like that, and it works.”

Keep some structure – “A monthly weigh-in with Alex helps me stay on track. It's like a gentle reset each time.”

Use tools, not willpower – “I still use meal replacements when I need them. They help me stay balanced when life gets hectic or social plans pile up.”
-
Stay aware, not obsessed – “I’ve learned to listen to my body and spot the early signs of slipping into old habits. You don’t have to be perfect—you just need to catch yourself before things spiral.”
