Looking back, the weight gain started when i left home and moved in with my boyfriend. we were both very comfortable and that's when i started putting on weight. we love our food and would regularly order takeaways and go out for meals. I also started work at a call centre doing 12 hour shifts. the job was quite monotonous and I looked for to my break which consisted of eating!! snacks, huge lunches, bacon butties etc (the canteen was great!!) And then i would go home to a large cooked teas and a few glass of wine!! Also I didn't get much exercise which didn't help. I went from a size 10 to a 12 then a size 14 and eventually i was looking at a size 16!!! I remember thinking 'I will have to do something about this' and then lo and behold I found out I was pregnant which gave me another excuse to overeat!! After i had my baby in October 2006 i knew i had to do something about it as I was seriously going into a size 18!!!
I joined the Thorne meeting and its the best thing I have ever done!! I loved the choice of the different options. I chose to do the low carb option as this one really curbs your carbohydrate craving. Then I tried the calories and now i find i fluctuate between the two. But i know i have another 4 options if i get bored. And I think the programmes great because of the free day and free weekend options which allows me to have my wine and takeaways etc. and still lose weight!! But the real secret is eating great food!!! and cutting out the rubbish

I have now lost 2 stone and have another 7 lbs to go to get to goal i am absolutely thrilled to get into my sz 12s (very comfortably oi might add!!) I have now become a Slimlines manager and I am helping other people to lose weight so not only i have i got back into my skinny jeans but I am helping others to do the same!!!
Thankyou Slimlines!!
