Though this is not really a fitness blog, I just want to share my weight loss story here, hoping I could inspire others as well. I’m not exactly overweight (just slightly leaning to that!) but I really felt that I need to address my problem before it escalates further to health-related ones. I started gaining so much after college probably due to stress eating and lack of will to exercise. I can eat a whole cake and a box of pizza and all sorts of other junk food all by myself - yes, pig out kung pig out! My self-esteem went straight out of the window especially when my brother would tease me or call me names, and when my father would point out I was becoming fat already. I know my family only has my best interests at heart and maybe that’s tough love… after all who would tell you those harsh truths if not them, right? It’s up to you if you’ll allow yourself locked in that pit hole or do something about it.
I tried crash dieting and going to the gym, which helped me lose weight but only temporarily. So I searched for other ways and discovered SureSlim - a medically-based weight loss program that targets and corrects your metabolism for permanent weight control. What strikes me the most with this program is the “metabolism” part. Their tagline goes “It’s not you, it’s your metabolism.” I didn’t know such program for correcting metabolism exists! I also liked that it’s medically supervised so I’m assured I’m in good hands (there’s a weekly weigh-in at their head office so you’ll know your progress). SureSlim originated in South Africa and have branches in Europe, Canada, Australia, etc.. and the Philippines branch is the first here in Asia. I enrolled for the 3-month quick loss program back in November 26, 2012. And here’s what I look like before… *drum roll please*
Chubby girl. Round face, Round body at 64 kg. HAHA! :(
Just 2 months into the program, I already reached my goal weight (based on my BMI) which is 57 kg. That’s 15.4 pounds off my body!!! I never lose that much, ever! And you know what I just did? Follow the individualized meal plan with the correct portion/weight (no calorie counting here!!!) that was given to me. Yes, all I did is eat. In SureSlim, they treat food as medicine. No pills, no injection. Regular grocery/wet market food is all you need!
And here’s my recent photo taken just last week. I’m already in the Maintenance/Lifestyle program wherein all the bad food removed for the duration of my 3-month quick loss program can be eaten again, and I no longer have to weigh my food. I’m still losing weight even after officially finishing the 3-month quick loss program last Feb 26 — proof that my metabolism has been corrected already. In fact I weighed myself earlier today and I found out I’m down to 54.75 kg. That’s roughly 120 pounds (it’s my weight back in college… I can’t believe I attained it again in just 3 months!!!!). Now that I’ve reached my goal weight I wanted a toner body naman which is why I also started going to the gym regularly in Slimmers World. But in all honesty, I’m happy with my current weight and none of this would have happened without SureSlim.
You know me, when I see something effective I really praise it for the whole wide world to know. Probably my friends had enough of it and heard enough from me already LOL :P
