Weight Loss: Margaret Woodhouse

Transformation Update: 3rd February 2021

This week, we celebrate the successful WeightLoss of Margaret Woodhouse
Here’s her story:

Since getting sleeved back in March 2020, I have since lost a total of 40kg. It’s been a huge milestone after 50 years of yo-yo dieting.

The first two photos were just before Christmas one year. I was having trouble walking, even holding my grandchildren and my mental health was of great concern. This was when I made the decision to take action on my weight issues. My son in law noticed I wasn’t OK and reached out to me and I was finally comfortable to confide in him about having the surgery.

It’s been a whole new learning curve since then! I love cooking and was worried I would not be able to do it as much, but I’ve been learning more about what I eat and how it affects my body which has made me love cooking more than ever.

I’ve also had to change my drinking habits to match my new eating plan, as I used to get sloshed off a couple of drinks! That’s been huge for me, as I loved my champagne.

I’ve been lucky, because my husband is so supportive. He rolls his eyes when I buy some new clothes, but always tells me how great I look. Such an awesome man.

There are also a few photos throughout my journey, including the walking challenge WLSA had put together. I’ve been enjoying activities like Zumba and Aqua Zumba – a few ladies at Zumba even mentioned my bum had shrunk!

Thanks to the team at WLSA for this journey – I’m 76 and feel like I’m 26.

This week, we celebrate the successful WeightLoss of Margaret Woodhouse
Here’s her story:

It has been 10 weeks AFTER post-op and I have already lost over 20kg – Slow and steady!

I’m feeling like a million dollars already even though I still have a long way to go.

I actually can’t believe how different I am already and I’m only halfway through this journey.

After 50 years of yo-yo dieting, I can now feel confident that I will keep the weight off.

I’m not as interested in cakes or desserts anymore, which is great. So now at 75, I have my life back!
