Purefit6 Below is a very truthful and heartfelt testimonial on the Purefit6 program which saw such amazing results. Purefit6 will start again on Friday 19 April. If you are inspired by the words below and are fearful of taking the first step simply drop us an email at fiona@purefit.ie! On February 1st I started into my six week challenge at Purefit. A bit reluctantly I might add! I have been on more diets than I care to think about over the last few years, so I have experience to say the least of starting into the process, and the motivation and determination that comes with it. When February 1st arrived, I did not feel that I in the right head space to take on the challenge, and had many fears and doubts that I would not be able for it. I was also heading away on an eight day holiday a week into the six week programme and felt the trip alone would almost defeat the purpose of starting. However, a photograph I had found of myself before Christmas from a few years back when I was my perfect weight, coupled with the little voice inside my head that looked in the mirror and was extremely critical of what was looking back, combined with giving my word to Fiona got the journey started for me. In six weeks, I have lost one stone, reduced my body fat, dropped at least a dress size, lost inches from my waist and I and others can see a change in my body shape. That is only the start. I have always exercised well, and felt very hard done by that the amount of exercise did not equal a much slimmer figure. Over the last six weeks, I have completely overhauled my eating patterns. The six week eating plan with breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks compiled by Fiona has guided me in terms of what to eat, correct portion sizes, what foods are best to fuel the body before and after exercise and has resulted in the key weight loss. I feel completely re-educated in relation to food and I thought I was pretty well educated before I commenced the programme! One of the main stumbling blocks for me when it came to starting the programme was managing the plan given the lifestyle I lead. I work on the road for a living and am in hotels on many days and away from home a bit, and as a result it had become customary to eat out a lot. Taking control of what I was eating and preparing meals on a daily basis to take with me on my travels has been a huge factor that has contributed to my successful weight loss. I relied too much on the excuse that it was difficult to control your eating when your lifestyle was not routined but I am the girl with the lunch box in toe every day and delighted that I am in control of what food I am taking in. Other key changes have included food choices and brands combined with an exercise plan that mixes cardio and weights and challenges the body! Of course I am proud of myself and delighted with the hard work that has paid off, but it is the unwavering support and selfless dedication of Fiona and Ger that has been the key factor in getting the journey under way for me. From day one of the process Fiona has been by my side, supporting me, checking in to see how I am getting on, in person and through the texts. I have received close to one hundred texts from Fiona and Ger over the six weeks, and looking back on them they answer just about any and every question you raise, from where you can locate a particular ingredient in a supermarket to endless new recipes for all mealtimes, to a supportive well done on working hard at exercise to a check in on what exercise plans you have for the forthcoming days. Many times over the six weeks when I have been at exercise class thinking my legs simply have nothing left to give, Fiona appears beside me, coaching, pushing, encouraging and ensuring that I get the very best out of each and every exercise class. I was absolutely filled with apprehension and dread going off on my holiday that I would not stay on track but Ger took me aside the night before I left and listened and reassured me, Fiona rang me and over the eight days there were regular check ins from the girls, and how delighted was I that I came back from holidays a pound and a half lighter. There are no words that can adequately describe the support from team Fiona and Ger and with their dedication, and commitment you believe in yourself and as they walk and guide you every step of the week, the results speak for themselves. As a final word, I really want to say that this has been the best investment I have ever made. The changes I have made will last long beyond the lifespan of the six weeks and my appreciation for all Fiona and Ger have done for me will last a lifetime. It has not ended with Purefit6,  I am now a member of the after care support and I know the girls will be instrumental in getting me to my target weight goal. From the girl who has tried almost every diet that is trending out there, if you want real lifestyle changes combined with education and exercise it is the best decision you will ever make. There is nothing that beats the feeling of looking in the mirror and catching a smiling, confident and happy face looking back at you that is simply high on the happiness of feeling great and looking good!!
