Before I came across Alex Neilan and The Sports Dietitian I was at my all time heaviest and nothing I had tried was getting rid of the menopause weight gain. I was having problems with my knees and general movements but couldn't stick to regular gym visits due to work patterns and motivation. I have spent a lot of money on memberships to different gyms, apps and slimming clubs. I was miserable, had no self esteem and no confidence that I would ever get back to the way I was. I just couldn't stick with anything. I have 2 very young grandchildren and another on the way and want to be an active part of their lives but felt useless as I couldn't even get down on the floor with them, and if I did I couldn't get up.In the first 4 weeks of being on the TSD programme I lost 4 kilos and am regularly joining in live workouts. I have more energy, stronger knees, more flexibility and the confidence that I will keep to my goals and am aiming for much more in the near future. I had a bit of a wobble when I was really busy the other week and I couldn't always stick to the plan. I spoke with my coach Fra and he gave me great tips and made me feel better. The meal suggestions and exercises are tailored to your needs and have alternatives if you cannot do them for any reason. I love their live workouts with Mish online and her use of the you do you mentality that makes it sustainable. I got a call from one of the psychologists Jane who looks into your relationship with food, activity and any other aspects of your life you are concerned about and she gave me strategies to help to put me first and address the root cause of some issues. I was then right back on track and now if I want a treat or don't stick to the plan I forgive myself and make up for it elsewhere.Honestly, if you are thinking of joining up but still unsure, I would 100% recommend it. There is a whole team of wrap around support available to you all the time and a fabulously supportive online community (the inner circle) that are there to celebrate your wins, share tips and recipes and be generally helpful and encourage you if you wobble.With the prospect of 3 grandchildren under 3 by the start of August, I knew I needed to do something to ensure that I could enjoy my time with them and live long enough to see them grow. I spend most of my life running around supporting others and putting everyone but me first but thanks to the motivational talks and sessions, I can see why I need to put me first. It's like they say, put your Oxygen mask on first or you will not be able to help anyone when you drop. I no longer feel bad if I have to say no to someone so that I can put me first. I try to attend a live workout or support session but they are recorded so they fit into your times too. I'm loving the new me and looking forward to being an even better version of me in the future.
