Two Dublin sisters, Siobhan Cassidy (67) and Ita Linnane (70), have shared their inspiring weight loss journeys and the secrets behind their success in becoming the healthiest versions of themselves. After struggling with their weight over the years, both sisters decided it was time to prioritize their health and well-being.
Together, they have lost a combined four stone, with Siobhan maintaining her weight loss and Ita continuing on her journey. Siobhan explains that while losing weight can be challenging, maintaining it often proves to be even more difficult. After losing weight several years ago, she needed extra help to sustain her progress, so she turned to Motivation Weight Management Clinic.
Siobhan says, “I lost my weight initially and was really happy with the program. When I noticed my weight creeping back up, I knew the best place to go was Motivation. Their maintenance program is fantastic. I attend meetings every couple of weeks, and the clinic provides a positive, non-judgmental environment. It’s a community that really works if you stick with it.”
Siobhan was so impressed with the clinic that she recommended it to Ita, who had tried various diets and weight loss programs in the past but found them too restrictive. Ita found the clinic’s approach more sustainable. “You can actually have proper meals, so you don’t feel deprived,” Ita said. “I can even have a biscuit now and then, as long as I factor it in. It’s about adopting a healthier lifestyle, not following a strict diet.”
The clinic’s unique focus is on addressing the mental aspect of weight loss. By identifying unhealthy habits, attitudes, and triggers, clients can better understand the psychological reasons behind their weight struggles. This approach includes a monthly mental weight report, a set of 65 questions that helps pinpoint emotional and psychological barriers.
Both sisters agree that the mental weight report has been crucial in helping them identify unhealthy habits and make lasting, positive changes. Ita, who has lost two stone, says, “I sleep better, walk better, and feel much better overall. It’s about health, not just fitting into old clothes.”
Siobhan emphasizes that this journey is about a lifestyle change rather than a quick fix. “It’s not something I want to dip in and out of; it’s what I do now. When you feel good, that’s the way you want to stay.”
The sisters’ transformation shows that with the right mindset, support, and dedication, achieving and maintaining weight loss is entirely possible—no matter your age.
