TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS: 5st 1lb
From as far back as I can remember I was always a big girl. Being overweight was part of who I was. Even though I was extremely overweight I never let my weight bother me.
I enjoyed socialising with friends and always kept up to date with the latest style and trend, even though I was buying clothes in ‘bigger sizes’. I always made an effort to look my best going out and hid my weight problem behind my bubbly personality.
When I met my fiancé seven years ago my weight was never an issue. He saw beyond my size and saw me for who I am not what I looked like.
I was very contended in my relationship and soon the eating in and eating out caught up with me. Within five years of being a couple and moving in together my weight rocketed to over sixteen stone. Suddenly clothes no longer fitted me. I was busting out of my jeans and buying clothing in plus sizes.
That’s when I realised I had to do something about my weight problem. I was in denial and finally woke up to the fact I was OBESE!!
I started to lose weight on my own. I cut back ‘unhealthy foods’ and started walking for short distances. Within a short period of time I had lost almost two stone and was proud of doing this on my own.
Slowly but surely overtime old habits were slipping back and the pounds started to pile on again.
That’s when I met Arlene my Unislim leader. Unislim were having a promotion in my local shopping centre and Arlene invited me and my mother (who is also a Unislim member) along to one of her classes to find out what Unislim was about.
So without fail that evening I attended my first Unislim class. I was amazed what Unislim had to offer. The Unislim Maximizing Plan was easy to follow and gave me great choice and variety and opened my eyes to foods I would never have dreamed of eating. On the plan I never felt hungry I made use of all the ‘free foods’ on offer.
In my first week I had lost seven pounds. I could not believe it. Before I knew it I had lost a stone in weight. My mother and Arlene were my encouragement.
On my 29th birthday my partner proposed to me. I was determined to lose weight and reach my target for my big day.
Through diet and exercising and encouragement from Arlene I stuck at my maximising plan. I could not weight for my weekly weight in class to see the results. Arlene’s weekly talks and motivational text messages at the weekends which I found hardest kept me going.
To date I have lost almost four stone. I am slowly but surely on track to reach my target weight for my wedding day. Unislim has changed my life.
Not only have I lost five stone and I am fit and healthy I have dropped from a clothing size 18 to a size 10/12. It has been a real journey of ups and downs and highs and lows. I have my good days and my bad days. After a bad day I pick myself up and start over again.
Unislim has been a real lifestyle change for me for the better and will be a permanent fixture in my new lifestyle.
Thank you Unislim.
