Best of You - Michelle Garvin

25/07/2025

It’s not just about the weight you lose… it’s about the life you gain. 🌿

We’re celebrating one of our amazing Best of You members today – Christina – who recently completed a 200-mile cycling trip around the breathtaking Italian Lakes, including Lake Garda, Lake Como, and Lake Maggiore. 🚴‍♀️🇮🇹

Here’s what Christina had to say:

"Staying fit and healthy after taking early retirement was important to me. Being part of Michelle’s group, with her holistic approach to weight loss, helped me feel confident enough to take on something that was a real challenge. Not only was it a wonderful experience, but also a great sense of achievement – something I wouldn’t have been able to do before joining Best of You."

Christina, we are so proud of you! 💪 Your journey shows that when we take care of our health, we open the door to incredible experiences and lasting confidence.

Congratulations Sarah 👏👏👏

First she reached 5% of her start weight lost, then 10%. 25lbs in total!

She said 'You don't have to wait until your final goal to feel happy, I feel happy now being on this journey.'

Feel your best this summer!

This week in my group sessions, I’ll be talking about BBQs and alfresco eating.

So what actually happens in one of my meetings?

✨ I won’t be listing all the BBQ foods that are high in calories, points or syns to shock and shame you.
✨ I won’t be suggesting you make substitute BBQ foods out of cauliflower rice!
✨ We won’t be applauding tales of going to a BBQ and only eating salad and drinking water.

Instead, we’ll chat about how to enjoy a normal social event without restriction or guilt. How to make the most of these times without stressing over what you eat.

And I’ll be sharing some delicious, healthy recipes with a twist that you can actually enjoy – absolutely no cauliflower rice in sight!

Sound like the kind of support you’re looking for?

💬 Come along for your first meeting completely free and see what we’re all about.

We’re building a warm, supportive community where it’s not about dieting – it’s about living well.

I loved giving out 10% awards to these lovely ladies, look how much it made them smile 😃

Losing just 10% of your body weight can have a massive impact on your health and how you feel every day.

💖 It can lower your risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

💤 Improve your sleep and give you more energy.

🩺 Reduce blood pressure and cholesterol.

💪 Ease the strain on your joints, making it easier to move and enjoy life.

😊 And let’s not forget the mood boost that comes with it!

🥕✨ Bored of Boiled Carrots? Here Are 7 Fresh Ways to Cook Your Veg! 🌈

If you’re trying to eat more veggies but keep reaching for the same old steamed side… it’s time to mix it up! 🙌

Here are 7 tasty ways to make your veg more exciting (and actually want to eat them):

1. 🌶️ Roast them with spice – Add smoked paprika, cumin, or garlic powder. Try cauliflower, carrots, or chickpeas for a crispy finish.

2. 🧄 Add a drizzle – Olive oil + lemon + tahini or balsamic glaze can completely transform plain veg.

3. 🔥 Stir-fry with sauce – Broccoli, peppers, mushrooms + soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil = quick flavour bomb.

4. 🍲 Blend into soups – A great way to use up sad fridge veg. Add lentils or beans for a satisfying meal.

5. 🌮 Veggie tacos – Roast peppers, onions, courgette + black beans in taco wraps with salsa and avo.

6. 🥬 Try air-fried or griddled greens – Tenderstem broccoli or green beans tossed in oil and salt = next-level.

7. 🥔 Veg mash or purée – Swap plain mash for one made with carrot, parsnip, or cauliflower + butter and herbs.

✨ Getting creative with your veg makes healthy eating way more enjoyable — and way less boring.

𝗪𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿

Think of medication like a pair of walking boots.
It doesn’t do the walk for you — but it helps you go further, with more comfort and less struggle.

That’s what weight loss medication can offer:

Support with appetite and cravings

A boost to get started

A way to make change feel more possible

But the real results — the kind that last — come from what you do alongside it:

Learning to nourish your body

Moving more in a way that feels good

Shifting your habits and mindset

Having the right support when things feel tough

𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿.
𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗶𝘁.

At 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗬𝗼𝘂 we’re here to walk beside you — medication or not — with guidance, tools, and support that meet you where you are.

Because the best journey is one where you feel equipped, encouraged, and never alone.
