At 36 years old, this woman slimmed down from a size 18 to a 10 to feel her best on her wedding day. Check out her before and after photos.
At the age of 36, Samantha Wannop underwent a remarkable transformation by losing 84 pounds. Her goal was not only for aesthetic reasons but also to feel comfortable and confident in her body on her wedding day. She now shares her journey to achieving such an impressive change.
It only took a few months for Samantha Wannop to see significant changes in her figure. Her approach, far from strict diets and quick-fix solutions, was based on awareness and simple habits. In her twenties, a lifestyle filled with social evenings, takeout food, and a sedentary job gradually led her to gain weight. “I always told myself it wasn’t that serious,” she admits. However, over the years, she found herself limited in her clothing choices and started to avoid mirrors. Wearing a size 18, she points out: “It became clear when I could no longer find clothes that fit me.”
When her fiancé proposed, the young British woman felt a mix of excitement and anxiety. “I was thrilled, but I was scared of not feeling comfortable in a wedding dress. It was time to change something,” she shares. She started by reducing her portion sizes and opting for fresh foods. No more pre-packaged meals and snacking at all hours: “It wasn’t easy at first, but I learned to cook simple, balanced meals. Most importantly, I realized I could eat everything, but in reasonable amounts.”
In parallel, the thirty-something incorporated a fitness routine. “Initially, I started with simple walks, then added cardio sessions,” she recalls. Soon, she developed a liking for physical effort. With the help of a coach, she explored various workouts, including group classes and strength training exercises: “It wasn’t a chore; it was a moment for myself.” As weeks passed, not only did the pounds shed, but she also noted significant improvements in her mood and energy levels. “I felt more confident. It wasn’t just about the weight; I felt stronger and more fit.”
On her wedding day, Samantha Wannop stepped into a size 10 wedding dress, a size she hadn’t worn in years. “That day, I wasn’t thinking about my weight. I was happy, surrounded by people I love, and proud of the journey I had embarked on.” Inspiring!
