Louise Pugh who was a champion on two successive weight loss challenges





Louise Pugh who was a champion on two successive weight loss challenges and achieved fantastic health benefits that inspired me, her family and her colleagues!   This is her story...

 "I have quite literally been on a diet all of my life- I was first put on a diet by a doctor at 3 months old and have struggled with my weight ever since.
I have tried most diets on the market:

Cabbage soup diet- it worked as I lost weight but it had unpleasant side effects!! And I put on weight rapidly when I stopped doing it.
Slim Fast- again I lost weight but I felt ill and could not keep it up.
Weight Watchers- I have been to WW many times and managed to lose weight each time but because I viewed it as a diet I could not/ would not sustain it and put the weight back on and more each time.

I decided that I would give up dieting and just be happy as I was which I did until my 40th birthday in December last year. I was not worried about turning 40 and thought I looked ok until I saw the pictures from my party. I looked awful!!

On the day I decided to do something about it a free community magazine was posted through my door. Inside was an advert for Weight Loss Challenge which sounded like my kind of thing as I am highly competitive!! I gave the number a ring and had my first conversation with Heba- straight away I decided she was a person I could get on with, loud, bubbly and very inspiring!! 

I joined WLC with the intention of losing weight, using my holiday in March as a goal. At first I struggled with WLC as I was not losing weight as rapidly as I wanted to. 

It took many conversations with Heba, during which she was very calm and encouraging, for me to realise that I needed to change my attitude towards food and weight loss and view it as a lifestyle change rather than just an attempt to lose weight. 

Through Heba’s classes I learnt about protein, the right nutrients, the benefits of green tea and drinking water, how Herbalife products can be beneficial in not only weight loss but also in maintaining a healthy life style and why it is more important to lose the fat inside my body and increase my muscle in order to be healthier.

People began to notice the difference in me after a few weeks and asked me what I was doing. After I explained  4 of my friends decided to join WLC to see if it could help them too. It did!!
At the end of the 12 week challenge I managed to lose 12.1 kgs (26.7 lbs) Which was a total of 13.8% of my starting weight. I also lost 8.2% fat and 40.5 cms from all over my body. The icing on the cake was winning the weight loss challenge and getting a cash prize!
At this point I looked and felt so much better but knew I still had a lot to learn and I still had fat that I needed to get rid of so I joined up for another 12 week weight loss challenge. At the end of this I was 6.5 kg (14.3 lbs) lighter, which was 8.2% of my body weight. I had also lost a further 3.5% of my body fat and 12.5 cms from all over my body. 

I was also very fortunate to come second in this challenge.
One thing I noticed during the challenge, other than the weight loss, was my fitness level improving. At the beginning I started walking daily with my husband and could hardly breathe at first let alone talk!! Now we still walk most evenings and I am able to hold a full-blown conversation. I also go to the gym twice a week and my trainer has commented on how my fitness level has increased.  

The challenge has also impacted on my family too as I cook healthier meals and encourage my children to be more active to ensure they do not end up like me (or how I was, constantly struggling with my weight)

At the end of the second challenge I realised that it was time to put everything I had learnt into good use and with Heba’s encouragement I decided to become a Wellness coach. I am just starting on this journey but I know that with Heba’s continuing support I will be able to help people be happier and healthier just as she has helped me.

 It is now 6 months since I finished WLC and I have not gained any weight, am still eating healthily and exercising more so for me it does work!!"


I was thrilled with her achievement!
This is amazing and inspirational.
Well done Louise.

The difficulty with losing weight..


Learning techniques on "how to lose weight" is why my clients make nutrition appointments with me. By then most are frustrated with their inability to lose a few pounds.
The list below is an attempt to offer an insight that will hopefully help to answer the question that is backed up by research at Harvard School of Public Health, Harvard Medical School, and the Boston Nutrition Obesity Research Center.
So why is adding weight easy?
  • The world we live in is very tempting when it comes to consuming food. What makes that worse is that most of the food on offer is unhealthy and is likely to add weight. This explains why we are heavier as a generation than our parents’ generation
  • It is not simply a question of will power. Research studies have shown that obese people need more food for their brains to generate the “I am full” response
  • Obese people tend to search for high fat foods when stressed more than lean people
  • Obese people tend to be to impulsive eaters than lean people and they respond better to TV advertising that targets eating impulsively
  • The high exposure to food advertising also targets children who see 13 food ads a day on average. Almost all of those ads encourage unhealthy eating habits
  • It has been reported that children who watched 4 food ads, consumed 45% more crackers than those that watched games ads. The percentage was even higher for those that liked crackers
  • Using children icons such as cartoon characters seems to improve product sales volume with a high percentage of children thinking that it tasted better!
  • Research showed that standard supermarket food, which is high is sugar and saturated fat lead to weight gain  
  • Research showed that people thought that foods with higher calorie tags were tastier than those with lower calories
  • We make up to 200 food decisions a day and will power is drained towards the end of the day
  • The reality of the world we live in is we respond to marketing and that unhealthy products are profitable and are marketed more aggressively
So what can we do?
·       Try to avoid watching food ads and influence your children not to
·       If you watch food ads remind yourself of its influence on your health
·       Avoid processed food and try to pick natural product when you shop

I run a Weight Loss Challenge (WLC) which is packed with information to give you the facts so you can make the right food choices. It’s like having a personal nutrition trainer. 
To make it a little more exciting I include healthy competition so there is a cash prize for the winner, although most of my clients find the weight loss the best reward they could ever have. We have a friendly, supportive and encouraging group who enjoy getting together once a week for a catch up, weigh in and to swop ideas and recipes.
The course lasts for 12 weeks and we cover topics such as: protein, good and bad fats, digestive health, metabolism, fibre, alkalinity & acidity, carbohydrates, heart health, dining out, anti-aging, vitamins, shopping & labels 
The cost for the 12 week course is £39. There is nothing else to pay for my time, that’s it. 

It will be very useful for you to join and I will look forward to meet you and help you achieve your goals!
