About Annest

Annest is a marketing communication specialist who balances her professional life with family, as she has two young children. Over the past decade, she has faced challenges with weight management, particularly after her pregnancies, including struggles with health conditions that made weight loss difficult. Many adults experience similar struggles with weight and health, highlighting the widespread nature of these challenges. Obesity is a complex health issue that can require multifaceted solutions, especially when associated with other health conditions. Despite trying various weight loss methods, Annest realised they were not sustainable, and she understood the importance of seeking professional advice when standard approaches do not work. Effective weight management often requires a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to individual needs. This led her to seek a new approach for her weight loss journey through Yazen, which marked a turning point. Now, one year into her journey, she feels more positive, has developed healthier habits, and is motivated to pursue life goals, including better mental health and confidence in her body image.

Annest's Incredible Weight Loss Journey: A New Commitment to Life

“Before Yazen, I felt like I was constantly split. I knew I could commit to life, but a huge portion of my mental energy was always consumed by the same cyclical thought process. Now, everything has changed,” Annest begins, a new kind of peace shining in her eyes.

“The biggest shift was the silence. Before Yazen, the ‘food noise’ was just always there. It was a constant, low-level hum of guilt, planning, or worry about what I ate, what I would eat, and where I was at physically or mentally.”

As a busy mother and professional, Annest found those mental shackles exhausting. She also realized that having other support—whether from friends, family, colleagues, or professional programs—made a real difference in her weight loss journey.

“It is really nice to finally be present with my children. Simple pleasures, like having my morning coffee that I love, or walking the dog—I can genuinely focus on those things now without any food guilt or distraction. That presence is priceless.” One tip that helped Annest was planning her meals ahead of time, which reduced food noise and kept her focused on her goals.

Looking back, Annest reflects that making small changes and having support can help you lose weight and stay motivated for the long term.

A New 'Yes' Attitude to Movement and Lifestyle Changes

Annest’s physical transformation sparked a deeper change in her relationship with movement.

“Now that I’ve lost weight and feel fitter and stronger, I’ve just developed this new, infectious ‘yes’ attitude to movement,” she explains enthusiastically. Staying active has now become a key part of my daily routine, and I look forward to moving every day.

This ‘yes’ has led to new passions.

“I took up reformer Pilates, which I absolutely love. I’ve started golf lessons, and I continue to play tennis with friends. All of this just brings me more pure joy now. Increased physical activity has really contributed to my improved fitness and overall wellbeing. It’s no longer about burning calories; it’s about embracing activity and celebrating what my body can do, knowing that these habits can lead to long-term health benefits.”

Convenience and Confidence in Weight Loss

For Annest, convenience was a critical factor in finding a sustainable solution.

“As a busy mom, I’m working a lot, so convenience is really important. The way Yazen is structured is brilliant—my prescription medication comes right through the door as part of my treatment plan, and it’s easy to administer once a week. Over the course of several weeks, I started to notice significant changes. It fits seamlessly into my schedule.”

The most profound change, however, is internal.

“I felt confident before my Yazen journey, of course, but I’ve found a new, different type of confidence. If you are carrying a little bit of extra weight, there’s no shame in that. But you realize it’s a more authentic, unburdened confidence once you’ve reached those goals and truly committed to your well-being.”

On average, people using similar treatments experience an average weight loss of several kilograms over 12 to 20 weeks, demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach.

Paying It Forward: Supporting Others in Their Weight Loss Efforts

Annest’s success has become a beacon for those around her.

“People have seen my journey over the past year. Lots of friends, family, and colleagues have seen my success and have now signed up themselves. I feel really happy for them, knowing they can experience this too.”

She concludes, shaking her head in genuine amazement,

“I just can’t believe now, looking back, that I tried so many times and had so many failed attempts. Achieving long term weight loss truly requires ongoing commitment and a real lifestyle change, which I hadn’t fully understood before. Preventing weight gain was always a key motivator for me to seek lasting solutions. And now I’m here. I’ve reached my goal with the support of Yazen. So yeah, it’s just been an incredible, life-changing journey—a true lifestyle change. I finally feel 100% committed to life.”
