I’m Camilla, a 30 year old, Mum of two from Essex. I wanted to share my story about how Voy has helped me completely transform my life. Since starting my weight loss journey 9 months ago I’ve not only lost 8 stone! (yay!) but I’ve gained confidence and taken control of my health in ways I never thought possible.
Before and after my Voy journey
My continuous struggle with food
Before I found Voy, my relationship with my weight was… well, to put it simply, out of control. My eating habits were all over the place, and I felt like I was heading down a really destructive path. I wasn’t kind to myself, and honestly, I felt humiliated at times. I've tried all kinds of diets—water fasting, keto, Slimming World, the Cambridge Diet, even the Carnivore Diet. But nothing ever worked long term. I’d lose some weight, but then a bad day would come along and I’d fall right back into old habits.
By the time I turned 30, I’d spent my entire 20s saying, “Next year, I’ll get healthy.” But I realized that I couldn’t keep putting it off. I didn’t want to wait anymore. I wanted to live my life now—and my weight was holding me back.
The biggest motivation for me was my children. I wanted to raise them with a healthy attitude toward food, and I realised I needed to lead by example. If I didn’t fix myself first, how could I expect to teach them about healthy habits?
Why I chose Voy
I came across Voy through an ad featuring one of their customers testimonials (ironic that I’m now writing my own), and that really struck a chord with me. It wasn’t just about weight loss—it was about being supported and taking control for the long term. I knew I couldn’t do it on my own. What drew me in was the idea of having a coach throughout my journey, someone who would be in my corner through the ups and downs. I definitely wouldn't have gotten to where I am now if it wasn't for the coaching. My journey hasn’t been perfect, and I hit a couple of bumps along the way, but my Coach has always helped lead me back to the right path.
When I first looked into Voy, I was honestly surprised by how professional it all felt. I was reassured that this wasn’t just another fad or quick fix. Everything seemed so well-organized and properly managed. With something as important as weight loss, especially while on medication, I knew I needed to be in safe hands—and I felt that with Voy. I trusted them completely.
Where I am now and the future ahead
I started my journey at my heaviest weighing 25 stone 5 pounds, and I can hardly believe that today, I’m down to 17 stone 5 pounds! It’s been a gradual process but I finally feel like I’m on the right track, and it’s so encouraging to see steady progress.
When I think about the future, I can finally see it clearly. Before, I was scared about how my weight was affecting my health, and I was worried about developing things like type 2 diabetes. Now, I’m thinking about the kind of life I want to lead: hiking holidays with my husband, long walks on the beach, and enjoying retirement together. I couldn’t even imagine this kind of future when I was stuck in my old patterns.
My new relationship with my weight
Before I had help, I thought gaining weight was the end of the line. Now, I understand that life goes up and down, and that’s okay. Weight fluctuations don’t mean the end of your journey—they’re just part of it. I’ve learned that moderation is key, and I’m now able to stay on top of things. I even weigh myself every day, and I’m aware of how my body fluctuates, but I don’t let it stress me out. I know that as long as I stay consistent, I’ll be fine.
