The 1:1 Diet By Cwp With Amelia Otto

Independent CWP Consultant in Great Ashby - I operate from my home where people can visit, have a chat & start their new lifestyle!

As a new consultant, I thought it would be important to tell you a bit about my story! So here you go:

It all started for me on a girly shopping trip to Bath with my mum.

I have always battled with my weight, but I had been constantly yo-yoing since I met my now husband in May 2012. We began spending a lot of time together and he cooked for me a lot. I appreciated this, but didn’t notice that the portion sizes were HUGE! Fine for him, he was active and went to the gym very regularly and although I had an active job as a barmaid at the time, my metabolism wasn’t anywhere near his! When I finally noticed, I tried calorie counting, exercising more, cutting portion sizes, low carb, the lot, but I could only get down to just over 10 and a half stone which for my height, still isn’t ideal and I was starving myself to try and stay there. I decided just to keep eating healthily and watching what I ate when I did eat naughty things (and only doing that semi-regularly! ) but I soon found myself struggling more and more to squeeze into my clothes. Fast forward to July 2016 - my mum and I went on our annual mummy-daughter trip, this time it was a shopping trip to Bath. It is a truly beautiful city and I loved it but whenever we went into clothes shops, I felt like a whale. Nothing I liked would look right and my usual sizes wouldn’t fit (because they weren’t your real sizes now were they Amelia? No! ). We sat down to have a break on a bench and a frustrated mother hen tried to talk to me about what sort of thing I was looking for. I didn’t know. I just burst into tears and knew that I needed to do something.

That night, on a mission to make a plan, I remembered liking a page in support of my friends mum and she was a Cambridge Weight Plan Consultant! I did a little research, messaged her and arranged to meet up the day after we got back. We then spent the evening searching results pictures on Instagram. My, oh, my. There are some absolutely fantastic and inspirational people on there. I knew I didn’t have quite as much to lose as others, but I still felt really excited at the prospect of being able to transform myself. There were nothing but fantastic reviews.

We headed to MK the next day to have a quick extra shopping trip (plus our ‘last hurrah’ meal in Cafe Rouge) and then headed to see Sue. We were met with a set of scales, a tape measure and a wall of products and so the journey began.

I was weighed, and my lord, I would have cried, but I knew that this was the beginning of a journey and that I would never ever see that number on the scales again!

Height: 5ft 2in
Start weight: 12st 2lbs
Start waist measurement: 31. 5in
Start BMI: 32

Current weight: 8st 7lbs
Current waist measurement: 26in
Current BMI: 21. 8

So just know that I have been where you might be now! Thanks to this amazing lifestyle change, I feel INCREDIBLE and can go shopping not worrying about what size I need to buy!

That's why I wanted to become a consultant, so that I can help people feel the way I felt when I reached goal and every day since!
