This 36-year-old woman went from size 46 to 38 to feel good in her body on her wedding day. Check out the before-and-after photos.
At 36, Samantha Wannop has transformed herself by losing 38 kilos. Her goal was not just aesthetic, but above all to feel good in her body and in her mind on her wedding day. Today, she shares her journey that led her to such a transformation.
It only took a few months for Samantha Wannop to notice real changes in her figure. His approach, far from draconian diets and other miracle solutions, is based on awareness and simple habits. In her twenties, a lifestyle punctuated by parties with friends, take-out meals, and a sedentary job slowly led her to pile on the pounds. “I always told myself it wasn’t that bad.”she admits. However, as the years went by, she began to feel limited in her clothing choices and to avoid mirrors. Wearing a size 46, she emphasizes: “It became obvious when I couldn’t find clothes that fit me anymore.”
When her fiancé proposed to her, the young British woman felt a mix of excitement and apprehension. “I was delighted, but I was afraid that I wouldn’t feel comfortable in a wedding dress. It was time to change something,” she confides. So, she started by reducing portions and favoring fresh foods. No more prepared meals and snacking at all hours: “It wasn’t easy at first, but I learned to cook simple and balanced recipes. And above all, I understood that I could eat everything, but in reasonable quantities.”
At the same time, the thirty-year-old has integrated a sports routine. “I initially started with simple walks, then added cardio sessions,” she says. She quickly developed a taste for physical exertion. With the help of a coach, she discovered a variety of workouts, between group classes and bodybuilding exercises: “It wasn’t a constraint, it was a moment for me.” As the weeks went by, the pounds disappeared, but above all she noticed an improvement in her morale and energy. It states: “I had more confidence in myself. It wasn’t just a question of weight, I felt stronger and fitter.”
On her wedding day, Samantha Wannop donned a size 38 wedding dress, a size she hadn’t worn in years. “That day, I no longer thought about my weight. I was happy, surrounded by the people I love, and proud of how far I had come”. Inspiring!
