“I’m now the fittest and strongest I have ever been in my life and I love the way that makes me feel”

At 55, Ann lost 17 kg and went from size 16 to size 10, all in 9 months.

What made you join TPP?
Last year I was going to turn 55 and I was finding this quite difficult to get my head around. When I looked in the mirror, my waistline was thickening and my chest was ever expanding. I felt old and matronly and my self confidence was slipping away. I had been away on holiday and I needed my husband to help me zip up my dresses which were quite frankly too tight and too small. I was either going to have to accept that this was now me or do something about it.

How were you feeling before joining?

I was initially extremely nervous about joining TPP as I assumed that everyone would be young and super fit, but my son said that there was a whole range of people that were members and that I should try out the 30 Day Trial. So with his encouragement, I signed up.

What did you want to achieve?

I wanted to lose weight and tone up. I was also interested in seeing how my body would cope with a new exercise regime bearing in mind I had never weight trained, I was in my mid 50s and I also wondered how it would make my body look. Would I finally be happy or happier with my body?

What results have you seen?

I have lost 17 kg in 9 months and have gone from wearing size 16 trousers to a size 10, something I never dreamt I would be able to do. When I first started I wore my tracksuit trousers, as I was not confident enough to wear leggings. However, when they became too baggy to wear, I went shopping to try some on and was extremely surprised and very happy that they looked ok. Now I have a whole range! I was also extremely nervous about joining the HIIT class, but once I went, I was converted. I now relish the different challenges that get thrown at you and I am now the fittest and strongest I have ever been in my life and I love the way that makes me feel.

And finally, it actually works! If you listen to the coaches, follow the nutrition guides you are set, and take in all the education, you will succeed; Then it simply becomes a way of life that you are happy to follow.
