Although it's not easy to lose over 6 stone and keep it off, Adrienne's story proves it is doable. Here is her advice for others embarking on their own journeys:
- "Find that support system, because it is absolutely crucial. I would have never gotten to where I am today without all of the people that are in my corner and cheering me on."
- "Be ready to fail sometimes. There are going to be weeks where you miss the gym or you gain a few pounds, but you can't let that be the end of the world. Pick yourself back up, dust yourself off, and face a new week head on."
- "Document your measurements; the scale is not always the best way to measure progress."
- "Lastly, find what works for you. There are a million and one ways to lose weight and get healthy on the internet, but until you find the habits and the lifestyle that matches yours and that you can still enjoy, you won't succeed. It took a lot of trial and error for me, but I found my niche."
