After seeing an unflattering photograph of herself at a wedding, Rae Lewis felt enough was enough and took the decision to transform the way she looked.
With LighterLife Rae not only learnt about how to manage her eating habits, she also lost over two stone* in weight.
Rae, from Swansea, now feels fantastic, and even earned herself a starring role in a LighterLife TV commercial.
Becoming an inspiration to other people that want to lose weight, Rae is an example of someone who reached their goals and is now reaping the benefits.
Her confidence levels are at an all-time high and she has even taken up her passion for jazz singing; something her weight had stopped her from doing for over 20 years.
Finding LighterLife
Now a size 12, Rae, 44, decided to go on the LighterLife Lite programme after gradually gaining weight over several years. Rae’s two children had also recently left home to attend university which had left her feeling a little lost. Her life for the last 20 years had been dedicated to her children and now she wanted to do something for herself and feel great again.
Rae said, “I am delighted to be involved in the Lighterlife advert and be seen on a national scale as a weight loss success story. I love how I feel and I want other people to be able to transform the way they feel about themselves in the same way I did.”
LighterLife helped me retrain how I ate
“With the Lighterlife programme I have retrained myself; I eat smaller portions, I eat more fresh fish and vegetables and care a lot more about what I am feeding my body.”
“Over the years, my weight had been gradually creeping up because of my stressful job, and it got to the point that I thought enough is enough. At that point I decided to join Lighterlife Lite which is so much more than just a diet.”
“LighterLife is a lifestyle change, changing the way we think about food, helping us to lose the weight but, most importantly, keep it off.”
Rae turned to LighterLife in June 2012, weighing 14 stone and 9lbs, attending Counsellor Marilyn Hawkins classes in Swansea.
LighterLife Lite, 3 Foodpacks & one meal a day
She joined the Lighterlife Lite programme, where ordinary eating is replaced by three specially-formulated Foodpacks per day along with one ordinary meal, together with weekly counselling sessions to assess the psychological issues behind over-eating and ensure a permanent lifestyle change.
“My goal when I started LighterLife was to lose weight in order to feel more confident and I have achieved exactly this. It really has changed my life for the better and the fact that I can showcase my weight loss to inspire other people is a fantastic feeling.”
Rae has now completed her weight loss and food management programme and is successfully maintaining a weight of 12 stone 7lbs, with the ambition reach her target of 12 stone.
Two stone lighter, I am a different person now
“I am honestly like a different person now. It’s not just the losing weight, I also feel my whole mindset has changed. I’m not that unhappy person anymore, I am a new and improved me. Twenty years ago I used to be a jazz singer in a band and it is only since I lost the weight that I have felt confident enough to stand in front of people and perform.”
“I recently sang at a 21st birthday party and wore this fabulous little dress and I could not have felt more confident. The LighterLife programme has changed my whole life. I feel so much more positive about myself and I now have the desire to fulfil my ambitions of producing my own CD and feel that I can achieve anything.”
“I feel like I have re-found my confidence and I didn’t realise how good it would feel. I would definitely recommend LighterLife to anyone, not only did it give me the figure I always wanted but it has taught me a lot about myself and my relationship with food.”
