From feeling frumpy to Feeling fit! CAROLYN’S EPIC 42lbs weight loss results WITH CMP

“Approaching 50 and desperately unhappy in myself, i had two goals:

To feel good about myself and lose the excess weight i’d gained
Feel like ‘Me’ again

I’ve achieved this and more with CMP!”

Hi CAROLyN, Would you like to introduce yourself?

Yes! I’m Carolyn, a Mum of three teenagers and a part time business manager from Sheffield.

Why did you reach out to work with CMP, what were your initial goals?

I had been gradually putting weight on since Covid and started to feel really unhappy in social situations. I didn’t want to go out and felt embarrassed that i’d let myself go.

I was still exercising through swimming regularly but was still putting on weight! Enough was enough.

I’d seen ads for CMP and always thought about it but it was one weekend in particular where my weight really got to me that i decided to get in touch. I finally realised that i wasn’t going to lose the weight without help and got in touch.

I set a goal of losing two stones and this was my goal upon starting with CMP.

What were the motivating factors in wanting to achieve these goals?

I had a wardrobe of clothes that didn’t fit and was buying larger dress sizes that were also starting to become tight. I’d also been blaming my weight gain on having my children but my youngest was now 15!

Not just that, i was approaching my 50th birthday and had to take a long hard look at where i was headed.

I wanted and needed to feel like me again, which was something that i hadn’t felt like for such a long time.

Can you tell us about the results that you’ve achieved with us?

Yes! Sharing my photos was such a huge thing for Me but now i feel happy to because of how far i’ve come working with CMP and my coach Ben!

I’ve lost three dress sizes, i surpassed my weight loss goal by losing three stones and i’ve learnt how to maintain my weight loss results with a ‘reverse diet’, something i’d never heard of before.

My Husband also calls me his ‘new wife!’. I’m the lightest i’ve been in my adult life, it’s incredible.

And what impact has this had on your day-to-day life?

I have a whole new wardrobe! I really enjoy the feeling of working out now too and exercise is a huge part of my life, i’m no longer doing it ‘just to lose weight’.

At my peak weight, i was just so unhappy. It’s also amazed Me and shown me, just how much is possible if you’re doing the right things with diet and exercise and actually give it enough time to work!

What’s been the biggest thing you’ve learnt from working with us?from working with us?

That it’s vitally important to have accountability, my CMP coach Ben has been brilliant throughout and really keeps me on track.

I’ve also learnt that lifting weights isn’t scary or makes you bulky, i’m lifting weights in the gym that i never thought would be possible for me and i’ve learnt how to high bar back squat and deadlift which has really empowered me!
