Paula’s weight had crept up over the years. Her interest in the online diet plans peaked after listening to a friend raving about how enjoyable they were. The decision to join was well and truly cemented when Paula saw a photo of herself looking less than svelte at a wedding. In just 6 months Paula managed to lose a fantastic 3 stone 5 lbs. Now she looks like a million dollars and no longer needs to worry about how she looks in photos.
Here she tells us how she achieved the weight loss…
Have you tried any other diets?
I’ve tried many well known diets over the years. I always lost weight but could never maintain. I would always return to old eating habits after I was left to my own devices.
Was your weight causing you any problems?
I suffered with varying degrees of backache, and I hated all the mumsy and shapeless clothes I had to wear. When I started to look at size 22 I knew I had to do something.
Tell us about your diet before joining the diet plans?
I ate lots of convenience foods because I thought they were cheaper. I also filled up on carbs like pasta and bread.
How has your diet changed as a result of the diet plans?
The diet encouraged me to seek out healthier options, and I was delighted to find they didn’t break the bank. Now I love eating vegetarian foods, seafood and cous cous.
What different has losing weight made to you?
Where do I start…I am now fitter, healthier and happier than I have ever been. I am 40 years old and feel as though the diet has knocked 15 years off my age!
Have you any tips or comments for other dieters?
Stick with it-there will be times when the going is tough and temptation is put in your way. If you do falter draw a line under it and pick up where you left off. Even if it is just parking the car further away in the car park…little steps all add up!
