I was very skinny when I was little, as I hit my teens I started putting weight on but I looked healthy. In my twenties I started going to the gym and I got addicted! I could go as much as three times a day and if I wasn’t at the gym I was out walking or on my bike. I lost a lot of weight and weighed at my lowest 43kg! I started to realise that this wasn’t healthy for me and I stopped everything and went cold turkey and the weight started to creep on and the scales went up but I was happy with myself. After this I started going between 1-3 times a week to the gym which seemed to suit me and it kept my weight on a good level. However, then I got pregnant and I got very big as I was suffering with complications and was bedbound for the last two months as moving was impossible. When my daughter was born I weighed 99kg! It seemed that the harder I tried, the baby weight just would not shift! I was out walking every day and did classes three times a week. I lost about 10 kg but that’s where it seemed to end. I would just stay at the same weight, not putting on but still loose nothing.

My friend then suggested The Slimming Clinic to me as she also put on weight with having her children and she said she had used it before with great results. It has not all been easy, some weeks I lost nothing and some weeks have been great! Even though I have weeks where I don’t lose anything, the staff always cheer me up and let me know how well I have done so far and maybe I have lost inches but not weight. Now, I feel more like me and I know it’s probably not something people like to talk about but I have got the passion back in my love life which I had lost for over a year after having my daughter due to my weight gain – I just felt too big to be loved or that he wouldn’t find me attractive at all! Thank you The Slimming Clinic for letting me feel like myself again and allowing me to be able to be active with my daughter.
