Heather’s Story

My weight loss experience with Ayse began about 5 months before my wedding. I started at the tail end of May at around 150 pounds. I had low self esteem and was disappointed with the way I looked, but more importantly the way I felt. At the beginning, Ayse thoroughly spent time with me going over my goals and teaching me how to manage my macros. She checked in with me daily and encouraged me to be honest about every portion of my journey, even the days I failed at sticking to my goals. She listened when I got down on myself and gave me words of wisdom. One of the reasons I loved working with Ayse is because she had been through it all. She wasn’t born with a six pack, she stayed motivated and worked hard to get where she wanted to be. I always felt comfortable talking to her because she knew exactly how I felt and could relate to my every emotion. I slowly began losing weight, the right way. About a pound each week. It took a while for me to see it but Ayse encouraged me to take progress photos. I am so thankful I did because it really reminded me how far I came. I gained back muscle mass, had increased energy, and built up my confidence. By the time my wedding rolled around in October I felt so proud of all the weight I lost and the way I looked. My goal was to lose 25 pounds and get back to where I used to be. I lost 24 pounds and looked and felt better than ever. I walked down the aisle knowing I pushed through all the pain and struggles and stayed on target. I am so thankful for all of Ayse’s guidance. She wasn’t just a coach or nutritionist, she was a friend. I couldn’t have gotten where I wanted to be and felt as good as I did on the day of my wedding without her. I am so blessed I had the opportunity to work with Ayse and have this journey.
