Lauren Lost 18kg For Her Perfect Wedding Day

Hi, I’m Lauren and this is how The Lady Shake reshaped my wedding day.

My journey with The Lady Shake started back in April 2024.
I had just been shopping for my November wedding and had found the dress of my dreams. But there was an issue… it was the last one and it didn’t fit me. But I knew this was the one, so I took the risk and brought it!
From the moment I left the store with my dress in hand, I was determined to focus on my health and lose the weight so I could fit in this dress and feel confident for my big day.
I had my goal, my why, my motivation, and it was time to make it happen.

After having my two beautiful boys in the last four years, I had gained a lot of weight while pregnant and really struggled to lose it. I also found that I never really took the time to look after myself, while I was so busy looking after everyone else.
I had seen The Lady Shake pop up on Facebook occasionally along with the incredible transformations from other Shakers. I was looking for something quick and easy, that tasted great while meeting my daily nutrient needs. The Lady Shake ticked all the boxes, and I realised I had nothing to lose.... other than weight! So, I placed an order and gave it a go.

As soon as my first order arrived, I jumped straight in and I knew I’d found the solution for me!
I replaced both breakfast and lunch with The Lady Shake while ensuring I had two high-protein snacks. It was important to me that we would still have dinner together as a family, so I switched things up to be more nutritious and delicious.

My routine was one Shake for breakfast, tuna and crackers for a mid-morning snack, one Shake for lunch, hard-boiled eggs in the afternoon or some veggie sticks and hummus, and then a healthy family dinner (and sometimes a wine!).
My favourite flavours are Coffee, Choc Mint, and Strawberry! Sometimes I would mix the Chocolate and Strawberry because it tastes incredible! I always order these flavours with the Buy 3 Get 1 Free bundle. It's such a cost-effective way of purchasing and really sets me up for the month! It's so easy to follow and stick to when you are organised and have a variety of flavours on hand at all times!

I can honestly say I didn't come up against any major hurdles during my journey. Knowing I could still have a little treat with my kids here, and there and the odd glass of wine when celebrating, really helped keep me on track as I never felt like I was missing out or craving anything to the point where I would binge and eat everything in sight! Honestly. the shakes were so delicious and filling that I sometimes had to remind myself to eat my snacks!

I started at 96kg and on the morning of my wedding day I weighed in at 78kg.
A difference of 18kg!
Not only did my dream dress fit me but it had to be taken in slightly as it was too big!
I can honestly say I have never felt as beautiful in my life as I did on that day. I was able to walk down the aisle with confidence and I truly felt a million dollars.
The most memorable moment for me was putting my dress on at the final fitting. I was so nervous that it would be too tight! But putting it on and being told it was too big and had to be taken in, was such an incredible feeling. I was so proud of my achievements and left the store with my dream dress and the biggest smile on my face.

Now that I have achieved my goal, I feel incredible! I am more confident and proud of myself. Even though the wedding is over, my journey with the lady shake is still ongoing.
My husband has been my biggest support. The kids have been so supportive too! My 3-year-old wakes up every morning and asks, "can I help you make your shake mummy?"

I have also really loved being a part of The Lady Club Facebook community as well.
It has been an amazing place to share your wins, challenges, knowledge, experience, tips, and tricks.
If I were to share any tips it would be - organisation is key! I always found prepping my shakers the night before and having my snacks laid out, really helped keep me on track!

I truly cannot thank The Lady Shake and the incredible Lady Club community enough!
