Weight loss and fitness journeys are deeply personal, often requiring a blend of motivation, dedication, and the right tools. Lisa, a married mother of three from Middlesbrough, embarked on such a journey in January. With a goal to lose weight and tone up for her holidays, Lisa’s story is a testament to the transformative power of Boogie Bounce, Slimming World, and her unwavering determination.
Personal Background and Initial Goals:
Lisa’s inspiration to start her weight loss journey stemmed from a desire to feel better and look her best for an upcoming family holiday. She recalls, “I wanted to lose 3.5 stone for my holidays and also tone up my body.” Setting a clear, tangible goal was the first step in her journey towards a healthier lifestyle.
Facing Challenges and Staying Motivated:
Lisa faced significant challenges along the way, particularly due to her arthritis diagnosis, which forced her to stop running—a form of exercise she loved. “Having been diagnosed with arthritis in the knee a couple of years ago, I had to stop running 5k, which I loved doing after completing Couch to 5k,” she shares. However, the Boogie Bounce Summer Challenge provided a new source of motivation. “The summer challenge you put on kept me motivated, and I looked forward to them getting downloaded.”
Discovering Boogie Bounce:
Lisa first heard about Boogie Bounce before lockdown and attended a few classes. When the lockdown happened, she decided to buy a Boogie Bounce trampoline for home use. “I loved doing it at home as I felt embarrassed in class. Loved the flexibility at home and the low cost of subscription,” Lisa explains. The convenience and affordability of Boogie Bounce at home allowed her to stay committed to her fitness goals.

Fitness Routine and Contributions of Boogie Bounce:
During the Summer Challenge, Lisa’s typical weekly fitness routine included six Boogie Bounce sessions and plenty of walking. This routine played a significant role in her weight loss and toning efforts. “It’s helped me massively and helped me tone up, losing 20 inches in total from various parts of my body as well as losing 3.5 stone,” she says.
Diet and Nutrition with Slimming World:
Complementing her exercise routine, Lisa adopted healthier eating habits through Slimming World. “Slimming World helped with the routine as not only was I exercising, I changed my eating habits. I now eat lots of fruit and vegetables and lean meat and fish,” she explains. This balanced approach to diet and exercise was crucial in her successful transformation.
Physical and Mental Benefits:
The results of Lisa’s efforts were profound. Physically, she experienced reduced knee pain and significant weight loss, allowing her to buy smaller clothes. “Feel loads better as the pain in my knees has massively reduced, and losing inches means buying smaller clothes,” she notes. Mentally, the increased energy and improved mood were equally rewarding. “Definitely have more energy to do things and feel happier in myself,” she adds.
Support System and Advice for Others:
Lisa credits her family’s support as a key factor in her success. “My family have been amazing in giving me space and time to do my routine,” she says. For those starting their weight loss and fitness journeys, Lisa offers valuable advice: “Do what you can on the trampoline, don’t overdo it, and work at your own pace. Measure yourself at the beginning so you can see how far you have come.”
Future Goals and Feedback for Boogie Bounce:
Having achieved incredible results, Lisa is now focused on losing another stone and continuing to tone her body. “Plan on losing at least another stone and more toning up,” she shares.
