Reaching New Heights

Kylie Marsh changed her life completely last year. She quit her stressful 70 hour a week job to focus on something entirely different: her health and her happiness.

Kylie set her weight loss goal at 40kgs, and her reward as flying in a jet fighter plane. But she knew she had to try something different to achieve her weight loss goal,
 
"I'd tried a couple of weight loss programs in the past, but it was hard to commit to them as it didn't feel like I was getting qualified advice", recalls Kylie,
 
"I could commit to the Wesley Weight Management Clinic's weight loss program because it is designed and run by health professionals. I was confident that if I joined and followed the lifestyle recommendations, I'd get the results I wanted."
 
Since joining the Wesley Weight Management Clinic Kylie has lost 46kgs and she's feeling fabulous,
 
"The Clinic's Dietitians helped me understand the principles of good nutrition and the Exercise Physiologists taught me how to exercise for fat burning. But best of all, they helped me put these principles into practice: I cook with a variety of healthy foods, walk every day and enjoy body combat classes."
 
Kylie worked hard to achieve her weight loss; she'd experienced problems with her weight for years and she had to break some deeply ingrained habits. But she says that her weekly one-on-one appointments with the Clinic's Dietitians and Exercise Physiologists were great for accountability, understanding and helpful advice,
 
"One week I ate too much of my favourite food: bread. My Dietitian suggested I avoid the temptation of bread for a couple of weeks by replacing it with sweet corn which made it easier to control the portion sizes. That practical advice made a huge difference."
 
Kylie has maintained her 46kg weight loss for four months and has taken her reward of a jet fighter plane ride. She says,
 
"Flying in a jet fighter plane was something I'd wanted to do for a long time, just like weight loss. Both experiences were even better than I could have imagined. So it's a double celebration: for my health and my happiness.
 
"It's great to look at the photo of me in my flight suit - there have been too many years where I didn't keep photos of myself because I was embarrassed with how I looked.
 
"Not any more!"
