Newlywed Aisling lost an incredible 30lbs in just 9 weeks for her wedding day. Dropping from a size 18 to a size 12-14, she looked amazing on her big day and just radiates confidence. Aisling is now back on plan to achieve her last weight loss goal before her honeymoon. Here, she tells us all about her amazing journey!

Aisling, tell us why you began The New You Plan?

We were out on New Year’s Eve so everyone was taking pictures and when I saw myself I just felt awful! I had been trying to lose weight the entire time in the run up to the wedding and now it was 4 months away! I knew time was running out and it was now or never. There was no way I was going to look back at my wedding photos and feel the way I felt looking back on those New Year’s Eve photos.

How much weight did you lose?

I lost 30lbs between January and mid-March so approximately 9 weeks. I went from a size 18 to a size 12-14.

How did you feel in your dress on your wedding day?

Amazing and so comfortable in myself! I barely even looked in the mirror or tugged on my dress the way I would have when I was carrying the extra weight.

What was your husband’s reaction to seeing you?

To be honest I have no idea because I was so nervous but I know he couldn’t take his eyes off me.

How has the New You Plan changed your life?

I’m actually back on the plan to lose the rest of my weight for my honeymoon. I now walk around with confidence and I spend my time making sure I look well and dress well so I’m feeling at my upmost best. I only now wear tracksuit bottoms when exercising instead of wearing them to sit on the sofa pigging out.

I hope you’ve found great support in our customer service team?

The customer support team are fantastic! They go above and beyond to help everyone.

Tell us, what New You Plan meals and snacks can you not live without?

The Hazelnut Bar is my go to product. It’s just got that chewy texture and divine taste so it’s hard to believe it’s part of a diet plan! I love the Mint Chocolate and Chocolate Orange shakes as well. To be honest there isn’t a product I don’t like.

Have you tried any of our Water Flavourings? Which is your favourite?

I live on the Water Flavourings. I make them up into 1.5 litre bottles. It just makes your water intake so easy. The Lemon is my favourite – it’s just so refreshing.

Our customers love the support from Secret Slimmer’s. Have you got in on the action?

I’m a serial Secret Slimmer. I spend hours looking through everyone’s photos of transformations, keeping up with Dawn’s fantastic recipes or just having a giggle. Even when I’m off the plan I’m always watching! The group offers so much support, motivation and positivity.

Do you have any tips for staying on track? How did you stop yourself blipping in the run up to your big day?

Having that goal of my wedding dress kept me focused but the more weight I lost the harder it was to stay on track as the results where just amazing and happening so fast! Plus people were always asking me to meet up with them in the run up to the wedding so I always made sure I only met them for a coffee. That way I was less likely to blip.

Tell us about your re-feed journey. How are you keeping that weight off?

When I did refeed I was so nervous about everything. I followed the emergency refeed list and kept my weight off all through my wedding. I gained about 4lbs after my mini-moon which was down to poor food choices and eating out for nearly 10 days. But I now know exactly what I need to do when I re-feed again! It’s all about making smart choices and the weight will definitely stay off.

I’m sure there are loads of people listening who just haven’t taken that leap of faith yet. What advice would you give anyone considering starting their New You journey?

My advice is that you have to be ready, you need to have your head in the right place and you have to believe in yourself and not be swayed by what other people think or say. You’re going to embark on a journey, not just a weight loss journey but a journey of pure self discovery. It’s not only your appearance that changes but you as a whole and how you feel about yourself. It’s just amazing and it has changed my life. I’m healthy and happy and I now want to live my life more and make memories instead of hiding away at home.
