Just wanted to share my good news with you on my anniversary.
It's just a year since I first went to Gwen's class in Kirriemuir ... and boy what a difference a year makes!

I've now lost 3 and 3/4 stones, and have kept my weight off for the last 4 months – so to say I'm ecstatic is putting it mildly.
 
But what is also brilliant is that I've just had my yearly MOT at the doctors and all my results are just wonderful - in particular my cholesterol level which has gone down from 4.8 (which was good) to 3.1 (which is making my doctor a very happy man).
 
Before attending Gwen's class I made all the excuses possible for not losing weight eg:
 

•  I was big boned
•  I take a steroid spray to help my breathing
•  I have an underactive thyroid and am on Thyroxin
•  I cook healthily using olive oil and didn't fry anything etc
  

 
I was down to my target weight within 6 months of going to Gwen's classes ... which proved what a load of rubbish I was trying to fool myself with.
 
I am now the healthiest I have been since I was in my 20s (40 years ago) and also as a bonus, my husband has also lost 3 stones by being more aware of food, benefiting by my new cooking methods, and by supporting me as he knew how much I was determined to get back my health and to look good in the process. He didn't stick to the Eating Plan as strictly as I did either - so it just proves what's possible when you try!
 
Thanks once again, Gwen, for changing my eating habits and making me happier, healthier and better looking into the bargain too ha ha.
