Shirley’s Positive Transformation and Progress
Transforming Health and Wellness with Beyond BMI
Meet Shirley, a 65-year-old. Growing up in Bray County Wicklow, she never had any issues with her weight until late-40’s when she experienced perimenopause. This coincided with a very challenging time for her personally; unfortunately, her mother was diagnosed with lung cancer and passed away, followed by her father a year later. Around this time, one of her sons also developed mental health issues. These personal traumas took a toll on her, and her weight started to increase.
Shirley wanted to share her transformational journey with Beyondbmi because, as she puts it, “Like many women my age, I've tried a multitude of diets from Keto to Weight Watchers. Unfortunately, none provided lasting results. The pattern was all too familiar: lose weight, feel good, then the leader goes away, the club closes down, and the weight creeps back on. It felt like I was stuck in a constant cycle of disappointment.”
When she came across BeyondBMI and our comprehensive weight management approach. She decided to take a leap of faith and did a suitability survey. After a helpful and encouraging chat with one of our doctors, she knew that this is what was missing in her life.
“I was enamoured by the comprehensive, multidisciplinary support they offered - doctors, nurses, dietitians, and health professionals working together to ensure your success. The idea of having a team behind me, rather than trying to do it alone, was a game-changer.”
At 65, she is looking forward to the future with renewed hope. She aspires to be young at heart, energetic, and full of life and wants to look her best, enjoy her life and continue having fun for the next decade.
With Beyondbmi, she is on the right path to becoming that vibrant, energetic woman she aspires to be.
Now, she is a few months in:
“I feel revitalized and full of energy. I’ve already lost around 7kgs and my clothes fit me better... I feel extremely positive about this journey and I’m absolutely certain that I’m going to reach my weight loss goals.”
