As a four-times national ballroom dancing champion, it's hard to imagine that the slight lady in these photographs wasn't always so! “I lost my dad a few years ago and went totally out of control”, she says. “And even though my husband, family and friends would tell me to do something to get over the grief, I just ate and ate and ate.” Geraldine's last straw came when she could no longer fit into a size 20. “I'd been on a three year binge, and suddenly decided "that's it", the next Tuesday I enrolled with Unislim and genuinely, since then I haven't looked back.”

The changes haven't been massive, but they're effective. Geraldine is now making more intelligent food choices – choosing healt her meals, cooking more from scratch and steering clear of temptation. “We still have treats on Sundays, but a biscuit is now a Jaffa Cake or a Digestive, not a Chocolate Hob Nob!” Having just seen in her third New Year as a slim person, Geraldine is now loving shopping for party dresses and takes to the dance floor whenever possible – “not only do I love it, but it's such a perfect way to exercise without even noticing!”
