My weight was always a blight in my life from when I was 9 following a childhood incident. I spent 90% of my life overweight eating things that comforted me. At my heaviest I was 18 stone. I had several attempts at losing weight including the “school doctor’s instructions” given to my Mum. Over the years I lost weight but never managed to maintain it. Then 13 years ago in 2010, definite realisation came to me that as I got older my weight was affecting my health, my energy and my well-being. I found a Slimming World class that was run very near to my home and I took the plunge and joined. I succeeded in reaching my goal by losing 5.5 stone off my joining weight of over 16st. It took me just over a year and I have never looked back. I made a few simple swaps and still enjoyed my favourite foods. If I had known how easy it would be I would not have waited! I’m still a member today as I get support and friendship from the consultants and members. I also feel I can offer ideas and support back. I know how hard it can be but I bless the day I took the plunge and walked through the door, my life has changed and I’m able to do so much more.” Karen Wyatt, Pam’s Slimming World Consultant comments: “We have the most generous and flexible weight loss plan out there and it’s suitable for everyone. We have recently added activity videos to the Slimming World app, which will save you spending extra money on exercise classes. We have also added a food scanner to the app to make it easier to find out how different foods fit into the Food Optimising plan.” If you have been inspired by Pam’s story and want to lose weight, pop along to one of Karen’s classes in Hythe (see advert for details).
