Katie's story

How much weight have you lost and how long did it take?

I started Nutracheck about 4 years ago and lost 1 and half stone, but then stopped. I gave up smoking back in December and put weight on, so I decided that this year I would start again and this time I wasn't going to give up. I started my new journey on 20th January 2020.

What prompted your decision to lose weight?

I have the beginning of rheumatoid arthritis and losing weight, eating healthy and exercising will help with it.

How did you hear about Nutracheck?

I heard about Nutracheck when I searched for apps to help with dieting.

Has your weight stayed fairly consistent over the years, or have you always had to manage it?

My weight has been up and down most of my adult life.

How easy was it to fit the changes you made into your lifestyle?

I work shifts so as long as I food plan and organise my menu, then I don't have any problems.

What was the most difficult thing?

I have missed eating takeaways, I haven't had one this year. And I have pretty much stopped drinking.

How do you feel now compared to before?

I feel so much better in myself. I feel like I have more confidence and I am a lot healthier.

Any notable milestones to report?

A notable milestone was losing the first stone, and the hardest was losing this last stone - it just didn't seem to want to leave me.

What tip would you give to anyone who has weight to lose?

The only advice I would give is to not give up and get downcast if it doesn't go your way on the scales one week. If I can do it, you can do it. Last week I went out for 3 bike rides, in total I went just under 50 miles!
