 Majella
Walsh
Majella started on the Tone & Slim programme in
August 2006. Meeting with her consultant Imelda was
an event that would change the future for all concerned.
Having tried every form of weight loss and every fad
diet only to see her weight and size reach new heights,
Majella decided to try Tone & Slim in one last desperate
effort to get her weight under control.
The starting point was as follows; at 5’ 8” Majella’s
weight was 18st 10lbs with a 47” waist, a 56” hip and
a body mass index BMI of 41, all well concealed in a
pair of leggings and a woolly jumper.
Imelda quickly got to know Majella and the type of person
she was. Behind what seemed a confident outgoing personality
was a confused and disorientated person trapped in a
way of living that was dismantling a once healthy body.
It soon became apparent to Imelda that Majella was fed
up with the way she was and was willing to trust Imelda.
A consultant is only as good as the person they are
consulting with. The Tone & Slim programme is built
on the principle that an informed individual can be
motivated to make life altering changes and scientific
and life coaching support increases the outcome immeasurably.
Imelda set about giving Majella the basics basic principles
of weight management. To take Majella through the first
steps Imelda devised a simple to follow programme that
made very small changes to her diet. It is so important
in the Tone & Slim programme that people make changes
through their own beliefs and actual experience rather
that forced understandings. The consultant was very supportive of Majella.
After twelve weeks on her programme, Majella had made
considerable progress and this made her even more determined
to continue with Imelda and the Tone & Slim programme.
Majella at this point had made the necessary changes
in her diet to allow her to manage her weight and continue
to reduce her body fat. Majella pointed out that one
great thing about the programme was that she only weighed
herself every two weeks in the clinic which took the
emphasis off focusing on her weight and made her more
conscious about her body size and shape. Interestingly
enough, when Majella went to her Christmas party nobody
really noticed her 3 stone weight loss. While to many
this would have been a good enough reason to slip back
into the old ways, Imelda intervened and used that incident
to set a target for the next Christmas party.
Like all changes that are made to the body there is
a point when there seems to be nothing happening - a
plateau is reached. However, being forewarned is forearmed
and Imelda had a plan to deal effectively with such
times. In her time on the programme Majella was always
Imelda’s first booking on a Saturday morning and never
missed an appointment. From a person who had all the
wrong eating and exercising habits to a person who ate
well and exercised regularly. The results were life
changing and they new it at the 2007 Christmas party!
They did not know it was the same person. A total transformation
inside and out.
Over 6 stone lighter, 16 inches off her hip, 12 inches
of her waist, 10 inches off her chest, these are truly
life changing results. Weight regain is considerably
reduced on the Tone & Slim weight management programme
because you actually eat regularly and there is no calorie
counting or restricted foods. However, there are food
alternatives suggested and Majella’s favourite one,
was replacing her WKD for a Coors Lite.
