What are the reasons for considering weight loss?
My weight was always between 47-48kg when I was in my 20s. During pregnancy, I gained a whopping 18kg! After my maternity, I went back to work wearing new clothes, all L sizes. I avoided taking any photographs and even if I had to, I will stand behind everyone.
I just didn’t feel confident infront of the camera anymore. One day, I measured my BMI, and was surprised that I am OVER the healthy range!
What weight loss methods did you try but did not work for you? Why?
I tried dieting, eating one meal only. I even signed up with a slimming centre for treatments that cost me $5000 and only dropped from L to M but the inches/weight came back on.
I almost lost hope until I was recommended to Abbott’s iDecide program.
How did you successfully lose weight and conquer the odds?
iDecide! With the help from my doctor, I understood Calories better. I also understood the meaning of satiety, but I had to make wise choices about the food I ate. The best part is, I can still enjoy food! I started in Nov, and in between lots of festive celebrations and my birthday meals, I still managed to lose inches!
Tell us how reducing weight has changed your life and improved your health?
Just over 3 months, I proved to everyone around me, it’s POSSIBLE, and it’s not HORRIBLE. My husband is also convinced, and now he allows me to modify his diet too and he is also beginning to see some weight loss. Thanks to Abbott’s iDecide program.
