✨ 5 Stone Down! ✨
Johanne’s Journey!
For years, weight or size never really bothered me. I’m happily married (33 years!) and life was busy — I always put myself last. But after a trip to the doctors and a type 2 diabetes diagnosis that shook me, I knew something had to change.
When I first stepped on the scales in summer 2023, I was shocked. I’d heard of the Cambridge plan before but I didn’t want a quick fix — I wanted a lifestyle change. It still took until January 2024 to take action… and that’s when I found Kate.
I started on Step 3, with 2 meal replacements and a 600-calorie meal. The beginning was tough — I felt hungry and doubted if I could do it. But by February half-term I’d lost a stone! Progress was slow at times, but it was progress. By summer 2024, I was down 3 stone — the smallest I’d been in years.
Christmas came and went, and I decided 2025 was my year. I stripped it back to basics, tracked everything, and suddenly the weight started shifting again. By July 14th 2025… I hit my target weight. I screamed so loud my husband thought something was wrong — but it was pure joy!
And here’s where Kate made all the difference again — instead of just reaching goal and stopping, she guided me step by step into maintenance. She taught me how to add calories back in properly, how to build balanced meals, and how to make it a lifestyle, not just a diet. That has been the most valuable part of my journey.
Now, I’ve not just lost 5 stone — I’ve gained confidence, energy, and a whole new outlook on food. I go to the gym 3 times a week, I’m down another dress size, and I’m staying at my goal weight. Looking back at old photos, I hardly recognise myself — this journey has changed my life!
