This is entry 3 of Ana’s video diaries. You can see the rest here.
For Ana, working with Numan has been about unlocking the confidence to live fully. It's not just about numbers on a scale but about saying yes to new experiences. Her recent holiday perfectly captures this shift.
As Ana entered month three of Numan’s Weight Loss Programme, she reflected on her recent trip, an active group holiday with a mix of hiking, kayaking, and swimming: “I did a lot of things that I wouldn't normally do. I went hiking, I went swimming at the beach," she shared. These activities, which might have once seemed daunting, became enjoyable pursuits thanks to her newfound confidence.
Ana delighted in keeping pace with her group during the challenging hike through Crete’s stunning Samariá Gorge: “I loved that this time I didn’t fall behind… It felt amazing to do it all.”
During her holiday, Nu (Numan’s AI health assistant) became an invaluable tool for Ana: "I could reach out and immediately get an answer in terms of understanding what I was eating, what would be the best options, how to hydrate myself properly." This immediate feedback was especially helpful when Ana was dining in foreign restaurants, enabling her to make healthy choices without stress.
"The immediate answer from Nu is so useful," Ana emphasised, highlighting how Nu let her stay on track even in unfamiliar settings.
The support didn't end with Nu. Ana also valued the steady guidance of Numan’s health coaches. "The human coaches are great. They help me understand setting the long-term goals or the weekly goals," she noted. This assistance ensured that Ana approached her holiday with a clear plan, helping her maintain steady progress.
Reflecting on her holiday, Ana remarked, "It was all sunny - I’m feeling good. I also felt much more confident in myself, being able to wear a swimsuit and feel comfortable at the beach." Her holiday wasn’t just a break from routine, but a showcase of how our programme has helped her.
Now looking forward to her next update (and a multi-day hike in Canada), Ana remains optimistic about her journey. Her story is a powerful example of how a blend of real-time AI support and human guidance can transform your habits - not only to maintain progress but also to try out new experiences.
