I’ve battled with my weight for years. At school I was always the big girl and growing up I got used to eating big portions of unhealthy foods. I also put on weight during pregnancy and it did not help that my job involved me being around gorgeous smelling food.

I used to hide my body under size 22 clothes, struggling with constant back pain and feeling exhausted, unable to keep up with the kids. Then in May 2024 I took my children, daughters now 13, 12, and son 9, to Thorpe Park. We all got on the Colossus Ride but when the attendant tried to put the bar down on my seat it wouldn’t fit around me. Mortified, I got off the ride and when the girls all got off with me I felt so ashamed and so terrible for letting them down. ‘It’s fine we’ll come with you Mum,’ one of my daughters said. It was a huge wake up call and the point at which I realised I had to change my life.

I’d tried so many diets before including Slimming World, SlimFast, Arbonne, Juice Plus, but nothing gave me long-term results. I knew I needed something to help control my constant appetite. So I reached out to The Slimming Clinic. After a thorough consultation with one of their doctors, I joined one of their personalised, doctor-led weight loss programmes, I started seeing real progress.

The hunger suppressant Phentermine really helped me stay on track, and for the first time in years, I felt in control of my eating habits.

Fast forward to today, and I now weigh 76kg! That’s 42kg lost, and I’m loving my new body and how confident and happy I feel. 

If you’re considering joining The Slimming Clinic, my advice is simple:
