I've previously tried Weight Watchers, Slimming Club, Atkins, Slimming World Diet and Slimmer UK. I lost weight on Slimmer UK, went on holiday and came back pregnant with my second son (!) and regained all the weight.
I stopped going out and always used my children as an excuse. I felt old and unattractive. I always thought people did not like me because I was fat (and because I didn't like myself).
I went shopping with my 2 sons on Christmas Eve. A young lad hit my car at the car park, when he got out I asked did he not see me... He replied, "Shut up you fat cow!" I was devastated. I could not believe what he had called me. I didn't even go shopping - I was too upset. I hated myself.
That was the turning point. I didn't want people to see me like that anymore and vowed to do something about it. I didn't wan t my boys to be embarrassed about that man calling their mum names.
I discovered WLR in Slimming Magazine.
It lets me know how much I have eaten each day; how many calories I have left; and whether I am eating enough fruit and veg.
Knowing I have to input my weight each week helps me not to cheat!
The positive feedback and advice from other members also encourages me!
I put a star on the fridge every time I lose a pound - it encourages me to keep going...
Food Diary and Database - I always fill in my food diary, and look at the calories and fat in foods on the database before I eat them.
Goals and Results weight pages - I like to look at the chart and see my weight and fat results going down.
Members Forum - I like to read the messages on the boards.
I have tried lots of other diets (Weight Watchers, Slimming World, Slimming UK Clubs). Calorie counting works for me. I am a different person now. I can shop in normal clothes shops, pick something off the shelf and know it will fit.
I am wearing more fashionable clothing, and bought a pair of hipster jeans! I have not worn jeans since before I had my sons (aged 8 and 4 years). I feel younger and have started going out.
My sister-in-law was getting married and I was invited on the hen weekend - if I had not lost the weight I would never have had the courage to go. I went and had a wonderful time - I missed my husband and children, but I was Ann again for 24 hours, not mum nor wife.
I have not yet lost all my weight, but I am at a healthier size and weight. I am determined to lose the last 2 stone. I have come this far - there is no going back!
I cannot explain how good I felt when people started to notice the weight loss. I am still getting compliments - this is what keeps me going.
That man who insulted me at Tesco on Christmas Eve doesn't know what a big favour he has done me. That day was the turning point to a new, slimmer, healthier and happier me!
