Member of the Week – Emma Hansen Lamprecht 18y, Sweden

Final member in the Hansen family is Emma, 18 years from Sweden. Emma has always loved candy and ate unhealthy food when she was bored. She was the one finding the ShapeUp Club app and introduced it to her family.

- I have tried to lose weight in many ways with no good results. Now with ShapeUp Club, I am able to track and actually be aware of how many calories I am consuming.

What has been the result since you started?

- I began in September 2012, my weight was then 100kg, now I weigh 85,7kg, – 14,3kg and continuing towards my goal.

Thank you for your time Emma, do you have any last words to other members?

- When I started to use the app I also started to exercise several days per week. The way towards your goal is easier when you have others supporting you.

Member of the Week Theres 30y, Sweden

This week’s member is Theres, 30 years old, from Sweden. She went from being obese to being a very health conscious woman who exercise regularly. She is now finding her motivation by motivating others.

One year ago Theres realized something was really wrong when she couldn’t recognized herself in the mirror anymore.

- I’ve had enough, I could no longer accept all the pain I was feeling due to my obesity. I deserved a good and healthy body so I decided to do something about it.

What has changed since last year?

- I eat many meals every day, but with care. I’ve also gone from sitting a lot on the couch to exercising regularly. I have a goal to attend a 10km race for girls in Stockholm in September this year, and I know I can do it!

Thank you for your time Theres, any last words to the other members?

- Realize that you are worth living a healthy life! Don’t panic when obstacles appear, motivate your friends and let your friends motivate you. There are always people online that are facing the same challenges as you. Many people who supports me are people I’ve never met.

Member of the Week – Enrico 38y, Germany

This week we have the honour to introduce Enrico 38y from Germany as our Member of the Week.

In 2008, Enrico and his wife Manuela received the wonderful news that she was expecting their first child. Enrico felt the urge to change his eating habits to have more energy for when his son was going to be born.

- I wanted to be the best Dad possible for my son, and I really needed a lifestyle change after many years of weight gain. Over the years I had put on 20 kg and felt my energy levels getting lower for each day that passed.

How is it going now? Have you reached your goal?

- I lost the 20kg I gained and managed to lose 10 more kg after this and I have also kept the weight off.

Thank you so much for your time Enrico, congratulations on your success! Do you have any last words you wish to share?

- For everyone who thinks weight loss is too hard and cannot be done, believe in yourself, you can do it! Once you get your energy back you will be able to enjoy so much more of your life. Good luck to all and thank you for reading my story.
