Woman Credits Her Apple Watch for Helping Her Lose Half Her Body Weight in a Year

Looking to lose weight? You know the drill. Cut the junk, ditch the drinking, and spend your evenings at the gym. But according to one woman, there is a way to make it a bit less painful — and easier. Eve Stansfield from the U.K. credits her Apple Watch for helping her to lose almost half her body weight.

Just over a year ago, Stansfield decided to turn her life around and get healthy. Since starting her weight-loss journey, she has dropped an amazing 10 dress sizes and lost a whopping 100 pounds. And it’s all thanks to a piece of wearable tech.

Using the device to track her movements, workouts, and calories lost, Eve regularly takes to her Instagram — Eve Chantal — to share images of the results alongside motivational captions to inspire others with their own fitness journeys.

“In the beginning, I started tracking what I was eating and tried to make actively healthier choices and control my portions,” she writes. “I downloaded the @myfitnesspal app, which is amazing because it takes your position and works out how many calories you should be eating to reach your goal.”

Other than using the watch to track her movements, Eve also wrote on Instagram, “People ask me all the time how I’ve done what I’ve done. Put simply, it’s been by eating less and moving more.”

“I combined eating good food with getting more active. I started moving more, I took the stairs where I could, I parked in the car park the furthest from where I needed to go, I went on more walks with friends and spent a lot of time on the old spin bike we had at home.”

But though Eve has reduced her calorie intake, she hasn’t taken junk food entirely off the menu. The 20-year-old, who now wants to study to be a personal trainer, still indulges once in a while.

“Don’t make yourself miserable with some fad diet — eat good food and make healthy choices but understand that it’s perfectly fine to slip up or have a cheat meal,” she says.

Now Eve wants to help encourage her 17,400 followers to embrace their own health and well-being by spreading her own motivational message.

“Weight loss isn’t about hating yourself,” she says. “It’s about loving yourself so much that you want to make a change for the better to become healthier.”
