Six weeks.
About 19 to 19.5 pounds.
Hi, everyone. I'm here with Pauline. Pauline is a member of our Metabolic Reset program, and I wanted to get her thoughts on the program and how she's done so far. So, Pauline, tell me about what brought you into the program. Why are you here?
I originally heard about the program. I believe it was on Facebook. And at first I was not sure if it would be for me, but I decided just to take the plunge because originally in the past, I've tried different things with little success. And then I would try something and just go back to my old habits. So I just wanted to try something different. And I wasn't sure, but it really paid off. So that's what made me decide to get into the program. I wanted to lose weight. I didn't know how. I needed support and I felt that at least with this I would have some support and just to try it and it wouldn't hurt. Probably amazing. Which was the case. So I did lose weight and I feel much better about myself.
What changes have you noticed beyond not just the weight loss, but what else have you noticed?
My confidence. I'm fitting into clothes that I didn't fit into before. My confidence, self esteem is much better. Yeah, I'm just standing taller, walking with my head higher, and I'm looking forward to the next phases of my life and I have new goals to work towards. It just feels like I can do more now instead of being in that rut that I felt I was before.
Absolutely. Speak about the support that you had while you were in the program.
The support was great because I've talked to people that are trying different weight loss programs and they don't get the weekly calls. So in this case, this program, I had a weekly call from yourself, and I felt that kept me on track. There was a Facebook group as well where we posted maybe recipes that we've tried and supporting each other. Like if we're having a tough day, maybe I would write something on the Facebook group and everyone would respond and give encouragement. So that support was really excellent. It made me stick to it, which, again, I've tried different things in the past. And without that support, I felt like I would just go back, backtrack and go to my old eating habits. So with the support and going through this for six weeks, if I do, if I were to eat badly, I'm probably more quickly to get back on track because I'm so used to eating better with these better eating habits. So the support was excellent. I think without support, it's really hard to do. And you have to be really motivated, and it gives you that extra motivation to stick to it.
Absolutely. And how much weight did you lose overall over the six weeks?
About 19, 19 and a half pounds.
Amazing.
Which is amazing. I can't believe that I've lost that much, because originally I thought, being a vegetarian, we had to adapt a little bit here and there, so I thought. We thought it would only be ten to fifteen pounds, but it's like nineteen and a half, which I have more to lose, but I couldn't imagine losing that much weight in this short period of time.
Yeah. And it's exciting for you. Yeah, and it's exciting for me, so it's amazing. Thank you so much, Pauline.
