For Chan, the decision to join The 1:1 Diet by Cambridge Weight Plan wasn’t just about losing weight – it was about reclaiming her health, her confidence, and her future.
“I no longer liked what I saw in the mirror. I didn’t want to make my arthritis worse, and I wanted to move freely with my children without feeling embarrassed or restricted.”
Life Before The 1:1 Diet
After having her third child, Poppy, in 2021, life became hectic. Between lockdown, homeschooling, moving house, broken sleep, and managing back pain, Chan turned to sweets and takeaways for comfort. Her weight reached 17st 13lbs.
“One day I looked at myself in the lift mirror and thought, ‘errrghh.’ My face didn’t even look like mine. That’s when I knew I had to change.”
Initially, Chan considered undergoing bariatric surgery. But when doctors told her she would need to lose two stone before the operation, doubt crept in. A chance chat with her neighbour, Tracey – a 1:1 Diet Consultant – changed everything.
Starting the Plan
By May 2023, Chan had started on Step 2 of The 1:1 Diet. With her partner’s support, who even weighed out her meals using the Step booklet, she lost her first stone in just five weeks.
But life wasn’t smooth. Her family lost their home and spent eight months moving between hotels and bedsits. Through housing struggles, hospital stays with her son (who needed heart surgery), and even the heartbreak of losing her dog, Chan stayed committed.
“There were so many times I could have binged on rubbish food and sugary drinks to cope, but I’d already got through the hardest part. No excuses whatsoever were going to see me stop Plan.”

The Results
By August 2023, she had already lost nearly three stone before heading on a family holiday. By June 2024, she had smashed her target weight:
-
From 17st 13lbs to 11st 5lbs
-
From size 22 to size 10
-
A total of 6st 8lbs lost
“Now I feel like a new person. I enjoy exercising, I know how to fuel my body, and I’ve left the old habits behind. I’m not just slimmer, I’m fitter and healthier too.”
Her transformation was so inspiring that in October 2023, she trained to become a 1:1 Diet Consultant herself.
Support Along the Way
Her Consultant Tracey couldn’t be prouder:
“Chan has been such a breath of fresh air. She’s faced so much but never lost sight of her goals. Now she’s inspiring others with her journey.”
Her partner, Sion, adds:
“I feel like I’ve got back the confident Chan I knew before. She’s healthier, stronger, and even comes to the gym with me. I couldn’t be prouder.”
