Australian
RESET Nation Challenge winner Pooja De Silva has changed her life and is now
using her incredible journey to inspire others.
Throughout her journey so far Pooja has lost an amazing
26kgs totaling up to 32.13% body fat. Her blood pressure has also returned to a
healthy level and her cholesterol count has dropped from 6.7 to 3.7 - overall,
fantastic results.
So what inspired Pooja to make a change?
“Over the past few years, excess amount of kilos have crept
in resulting in unwanted weight gain, which was considered to be a significant
health risk,” she said.
“My weight gain contributed towards discomfort in my knees and increased risk
of degenerative diseases such as diabetes, cholesterol and an elevation in
blood pressure – a perfect recipe for disaster!”
Prior to the RESET challenge, Pooja had followed countless
diets, which had given her “no real results”, so she decided to take part in
the RESET Nation Challenge to improve her health and wellbeing.
“RESET
is a unique weight loss program that I have trusted and thoroughly enjoyed from
day one,” she said.
“I
love the Nutrimeal shakes and their flavours, and the Peanutty Bliss and
Chocolate Fudge were my favourite snacks…winning the milestone prizes was an
added bonus.”
Pooja
said during the challenge she exercised hard and smart with her Personal
Trainer – Scott Lawrence, “who continuously raised the bar high in my training
sessions each time we trained, and I enthusiastically looked forward to my
weekly weigh-in sessions”.
“Initially,
I found the exercise component associated with the RESET program to be very
challenging. I could not execute some physical activities to my full potential
due to my physical injuries – on my shoulder and on my knee. This caused
frustration because of the restrictions in movement on my upper body. However,
I continued to challenge myself, week after week with perseverance,
strict discipline, unshaken mindset, a firmer commitment and total
dedication,” she emphasized.
“In
addition to my exercise regime, the intake of recommended USANA supplements
played a vital role in my RESET program. I now feel rejuvenated, a lot lighter
in weight, boosting with energy and confidence.”
Pooja
said she thanks USANA for her “comprehensive transformation”.
“For
the first time in many years I am now down to a healthy weight and am able to
wear fitted clothes to complement my new body shape,” she said.
“I am embracing my success of winning the first place in Australia and the
countless compliments that I receive from my family and friends.
“Life is
fantastic…thank you USANA for this unparalleled opportunity.”
“Throughout
my RESET journey I have been fortunate in receiving tremendous support from my
family and my TVD uplines Mrs Rita Amarasinghe and Mr Vajira Amarasinghe. Their
ongoing words of encouragement never failed to push me to reach higher goals.
Continued support from my dear family and TVD team contributed to an essential
part of my success”.
Pooja
said she has now “embarked on a significant life changing journey enjoying a
healthier and an active lifestyle”.
“With
a greater mindset, I have become more conscious of nutritional health, have
cultivated sensible eating habits and will continue with a consistent exercise
regime,” she said.
“I
would highly recommend the challenge to other people unconditionally and wholeheartedly.
While I would endeavour to advocate the numerous benefits of the RESET program,
I would also genuinely help and educate those who are seeking to lose weight
and improve their health and lifestyle. My own success story would no
doubt raise awareness and encourage those who are less motivated.”
Pooja
said her goal is now to maintain and enjoy her new lifestyle and promote and
raise her business to the next level by sharing her success story.
