How Angeliki found confidence and a new career path with IsaBody

As someone who’s always loved fashion, Angeliki Nicolou started IsaBody to take charge of her story and turn her passion for shopping into an uplifting experience, rather than something she avoided. Now not only is she oozing confidence in everything she wears, she’s retraining to be a mechanic! Meet our Finalist as she shares her journey.  

Starting the IsaBody Challenge 

 I wasn’t the most confident person, especially when it came to my size. Every time I went shopping, I’d try on loads of different outfits and come out feeling really unhappy. I’d go for the styles I loved, but either they wouldn’t have them in my size, they wouldn’t suit me right, or I wouldn’t feel comfortable revealing any part of my body. My self-esteem was so low and I think it even affected my relationships because I didn’t love myself.   

I’ve tried a lot of health-kicks in the past, but while I did okay, it wasn’t something I could stick to. I’m quite a foodie, so I’d eat healthy foods, but I’d also turn to comfort food which only made me feel worse, the restrictive diets didn’t work. I was working as a nursery practitioner doing long hours – nine, sometimes ten hours a day – and I was eating nursery meals which didn’t help with the weight gain either.  

The transformation  

 After chatting to someone about their Isagenix results, I made the decision to get started. I just had the mentality to get it done! Even on my first cleanse day, I remember there were so many chocolates and biscuits at work, but I just pushed through and didn’t turn to the snacks.  

Now I’m 34 and I haven’t been in this shape since my early 20s! When I was bigger, my energy was non-existent, and everything felt like such an effort. Now, I have so much energy throughout the whole day. Since I started, I’ve not even turned to a cup of coffee once, and I’ve been doing long hikes alongside my plan.  

When I did my 30-day reset, I couldn’t believe how much weight I’d lost. It was amazing. That’s when I realised these are the kind of results I’ve never got from anywhere else – I’ve lost around three stone!  

I’m still moving towards my goals, it’s actually sustainable! When you see something working, you stick to it.  

Next steps  

I still do the shake days and cleanse days. I treat myself here and there, but I’ll keep going for the energy and wellness benefits. My favourite product is the strawberry IsaLean™ Shake. It’s delicious and has been a big part of my success. 

New career  

I’m now actually training to become a Level 2 Mechanic so I go to college two days a week, and I’m hoping to qualify next summer. I’ve always had an interest in cars, but it wasn’t until recently that I thought about turning it into a career. I started helping out at my partner’s garage, and that’s when I realised I wanted to do it!  

I can’t attribute the whole career move to my weight loss, but I’ve now got more energy and a positive mindset, so it helped give me the confidence to pursue it.  

I’ve also started doing the Isagenix business on the side. I’m at the Consultant stage, and if people are interested, I’ll help them. It’s a good side hustle! 

Top tips 

The key is to not put too much pressure on yourself. Everyone is different so it’s important to just do your best. Follow the plan as best as you can, and remember, you’ve got to live a little.  

My IsaBody journey has been life-changing, and if you’re thinking about doing it, I’d say go for it! You won’t regret the results. It’s not just about losing weight, it’s about feeling better, having more energy, and gaining confidence!
