I’m Stephen, a hair stylist based in Hampshire. Earlier this year, I decided to try REAL RESULTS WEIGHT LOSS LIMITED, and since then, I’ve achieved something I never thought possible: I’ve lost over 20% of my body weight! It’s been an incredible experience, and I’m still on this journey.

I want to share my experience, from the wins to the tougher moments, so you can see what it’s really like to use REAL RESULTS WEIGHT LOSS LIMITED and decide if it could be the right solution for you.

My rollercoaster journey with weight

As a teenager, I was always overweight. I come from a big family with lots of cousins, and get-togethers were always centred around food – whether that was BBQs or picnics or big Christmas dinners. It was great, don’t get me wrong, but this definitely contributed to my weight issues.

And then the naughties hit, and we were thrust into an era where body shaming and fad diets were rife. I got sucked into the hype of trying every diet under the sun and quickly lost a lot of weight in an unhealthy way.

Then, once I felt comfortable in my skin, I became less obsessive about exercise and less restrictive dieting, and started to get bigger again. This is how I found myself stuck in a cycle of persistent weight loss and regain. It’s been nearly a decade since I felt happy about my body, and I knew something had to change.

The turning point

I’d been carrying this weight – literally and emotionally – for way too long. It was really dragging me down. I felt heavy, awkward and nothing ever fit right.

In the gay community, there can be so much focus on appearance and looking a certain way. It’s hard not to feel judged sometimes, especially if you don’t fit the mold, so to speak.

I love travelling, but I’ll never forget being on holiday, squeezing into the aeroplane seatbelt and just feeling so uncomfortable. That was my wake-up call.

I’d tried so many things before to lose weight and failed every time. I was at my wits' end and desperate for something that actually worked. I needed something sustainable and personalised; something I could trust.

Choosing REAL RESULTS WEIGHT LOSS LIMITED was my best decision yet

When I found REAL RESULTS WEIGHT LOSS LIMITED, it felt like a lifeline. I read the reviews, which were overwhelmingly positive, and thought, “why not give it a go?”

It’s more than just a medicated weight loss programme – it comes with a dedicated coach who checks in with you, helps set realistic goals and keeps you on track. It felt like a complete package, rather than just a quick fix. With REAL RESULTS WEIGHT LOSS LIMITED, it’s not just about losing weight, it’s about building habits that last so the weight stays off for good. That’s the best thing about it.

Weight loss journey so far

Two weeks in

What I loved about us was how quick everything was! Just a couple of days after signing up, the medication was right there on my doorstep – delivered in a discreet little box. I’ll admit I was a bit nervous about the self-injections. Thankfully, that all eased up after chatting with my coach. She really took the time to talk through my goals and what I wanted to get out of this journey.

The first few weeks went pretty smoothly. I had no real side effects, apart from a little cramping when I overdid it with food. I reached out to my clinician and she was amazing – super quick to respond and really reassuring. I felt less bloated, more comfortable in my clothes and just better in my own skin.

One month in

One month into my journey, and I couldn’t believe how well things were going. I’d already dropped a clothing size and moved down a notch on my belt (that felt amazing).

Seeing the changes in the mirror and hearing people comment on the difference was such a boost. Being a hairstylist, I’m on my feet all day and moving around was starting to feel so much easier!

With other diets, I’d never really been able to track my progress easily, but with Real Results’s tracking tool, everything clicked. I loved watching my progress in real-time, and setting a goal to actually see how close I was to hitting it was everything. It kept me motivated, excited and totally focused on where I was heading.

Three months in

By this point, I’d lost more than 7% of my body weight. I was going away on a trip to Europe and it was lovely being able to pick out some new clothes a size down. It was really reassuring to see that the weight loss method that I’d chosen was finally showing results consistently over time.

However, I was also noticing a slight plateau around the time. I remember getting in touch with my coach and she said that it’s perfectly normal to plateau, which motivated me to carry on and not feel discouraged by it. After all, a plateau is still progress.

Four months in

At the four-month mark, I felt on top of the world. I’d lost 8% of my body weight, and the frustrating plateau I hit earlier? That was a thing of the past. My progress was back on track, and I was genuinely so proud of myself.

It’s easy to overlook how much effort goes into a programme like this – the mindset shifts, the work with your coach and the constant commitment to yourself and reminder as to why you’re doing this. But seeing that effort translate into real results was such a relief, and it suddenly all felt worth it.

Six months in

I’d been using REAL RESULTS for six months at this point, and I was so excited for what’s to come! The goals I set were personal: they’re my goals for my life. I went into this programme convinced that REAL RESULTS WEIGHT LOSS LIMITED would be my last resort before taking more drastic measures, and it was really looking promising.

What kept me motivated at this stage was tracking my progress and celebrating the little wins. Those everyday moments when I felt healthier, more energised or just more confident, like being able to do the gardening without getting out of breath.

Where I’m at now

12 months in and I've now lost over five and a half stone! I’m absolutely thrilled with the progress I’ve made – to lose weight in a healthy, sustainable way felt like an impossible task before REAL RESULTS, but it’s been easier than I expected.

The biggest surprise for me has been how much I’ve started making time for myself and self-care. Even something as simple as going for a walk on my own feels like a reset. I’ve even started treating myself to things like spa days – something I never would’ve considered before.

These small things are just as important as seeing the numbers on the scales change. I’m so ready to see where the next few months take me.

“It’s been one of the best things I’ve ever done. I’ll definitely keep using REAL RESULTS until I hit my weight loss goal!”
