Success stories

"I'm always on the go, and don't have time for complicated exercise regimes - which is why the 2 week kick start, worked for me."

I have a very busy lifestyle - lots of friends, lots of work, lots of socialising and little time, which is why the 2 week plan is perfect for me. I'm always on the go, and don't have time for complicated exercise regimes - which is why the Special K plan was perfect for me.

A friend and I were keen to get back into shape, but knew that we were pretty rubbish at sticking to any kind of long term plan. The idea of cereal a couple of times a day and then a normal meal was easy. We started together and chose in the 1st week to have a normal lunch with everyone else in the office (it helps break up the day!) and then have the 2nd bowl of cereal in the evening. After a few days we swapped to having the meal in the evening because it was quite hard to not come home to a nice hot meal.

Special K and Red Berry was my favourite cereal, and cherries and strawberries were a savior on those weekends where you needed a sweet snack!

We did struggle from time to time, but having each other for moral support really helped us. We also became quite competitive!
