Success Stories

Ivana, 25

At the beginning of last year, I wasn't feeling well and measured my blood pressure for the first time. It was 210/114. I was so shocked and had to start dealing with high blood pressure. The more I dealt with it, the clearer the reason behind it became: I was overweight. On that evening, I decided to lose weight.

Alexandra, 38

As I approached 40 years of age and saw my body getting more out of shape, I decided to take control of my life but, for once, in a smart way. The combination of a balanced diet and regular exercise was the beginning of my success.

Melanie, 35

I was suffering from intracranial hypertension. I was facing the very real possibility that I would lose my sight if nothing changed.

Julia, 31

I was teased a lot and could never wear the clothes I wanted to. I didn't even dare eat anything in public because people would always look at me in a judgmental way. I tried to lose weight several times but never successfully.

Shari, 29

I was so ashamed. I thought so often, "That can't be you!" I wanted a change, and not tomorrow or next month. I wanted it now!

Corinna, 37

I thought it was awful to look at pictures of myself. At that point, there were almost no pictures of me because I felt so uncomfortable in my body. Today, I've developed such an incredible zest for life and self-love. I have so much more energy and self-confidence, making me happy to continue eating mindfully and healthily each day.

Kerstin, 54

I didn't stick to other diets. They always led to short-term success until the yo-yo effect came.

Sandra, 35

The trigger for me to lose weight was at the beginning of last year when I almost got up to 220 pounds. By that time, I weighed more than my boyfriend and had already suffered a stress fracture in my foot due to my weight. I couldn't stand myself anymore. Did I want to continue living like this in my mid-thirties?

Alma, 35

It was a bunch of small things in my everyday life that made me want to lose weight. When I played with my kids on the floor, I had difficulty and knee pain when getting up. I would get tired and exhausted really fast when playing. Everyday life showed me how trapped I was in my own body.

Jasmin, 29

I had tried to lose weight several times, but I never stuck with it. I was always very slim, in a lot better shape, more active and less tired before I gained weight. I really wanted to get back to that.

Nadine, 30

I had this moment of realization and saw the size I had gotten to. I knew I wasn't super thin, but I didn't see the full extent of my weight until then.

Jessica, 25

I just felt so uncomfortable in my own skin and wasn't enjoying life anymore. I had tried to lose weight several times, but that final push was always missing.
