My KSFL Journey
Hi, I’m Vicky and I started on the KSFL plan in the middle of January. It was a difficult decision but it was the right path to take. When I first looked at
the plan I was wondering if I could ever keep to it.
Soon after starting I realised that I had a few major events coming up that meant eating out. How was I going to fit them in? Well no problem there. I just discussed things with the group and was able to navigate through eating out and still losing weight. I simply looked at the menu and requested things I knew that I could eat on the plan. If potatoes came with the food (as often they did), I simply left them at
the side of the plate or politely just ate a small one. I allowed myself alcohol in small amounts at these events and I knew that I could move onwards confidently from that meal knowing I could get back on track for the next meal.
The plan as a whole I have found easy to follow and fit into my family life. If anything I have altered my whole family’s way of eating just slightly to fit. My children still have carbs, sugar, gluten and things like that in small amounts.
I simply don’t have them myself replacing them with things like courgette, boodles (Butternut squash noodles) and cauliflower rice.
I am stunned at my results. I have been exercising to the best of my ability due to back problems and asthma. I have tried Paula’s Zumba class which was good fun. But I had to stop due to my back problems. So now my daughter and I have taken up karate lessons and I am starting the Pilates class next week. I am also walking more places
instead of driving.. In the first 28 days I lost a total of 15 inches from around my body and it’s still coming off now. Yes, I have had two separate weeks when I have either maintained or gained. But I have known exactly why it has happened and have been able to put things right.
Since losing the weight and inches I have felt a lot happier and healthier. I actually look forward to Thursdays when I come to the group. During other attempts to lose weight I have dreaded
going to be weighed. I really like the way that Paula runs the group because it is shame and guilt free. You weigh yourself and you make the choice of whether to share your results or not. I find the group a happy and comforting place to belong. Everyone is friendly and welcoming and never ever judgemental.
So I can honestly say coming to KSFL really has changed my life! I’m hoping it will continue to do so.
