One of my work colleagues had inspired me to attend gwenmccreadie.com slimming classes, as the weight just seemed to fall off her. When I asked her what class she attended, she told me all about gwenmccreadie.com and how easy the Eating Plan was to follow. I thought about it for weeks before I could pluck up the courage to go along, as I knew I was really overweight and was embarrassed about it and didn’t really want anyone weighing or measuring me.

I walked into the class for the first time in Monifieth in February 2008; I had nothing to worry about as Moira, the class leader, put me at ease and told me I had done the hardest part – coming through the door. I couldn’t believe how much I weighed when I got on the scales, which made me all the more determined to stick with it. Moira set me little, achievable goals, which made it more exciting as every time I reached one of these goals I rewarded myself with new clothes.

I always stay for the talk at class as I find it very helpful and pick up new tips every week, not just from Moira but from other class members as well. Moira cooks recipes from the gwenmccreadie.com recipe books so we can see what they look like. This has made me more adventurous with food and I love experimenting in the kitchen with new recipes. With this Eating Plan it is so easy to follow and there is hardly any weighing or counting calories. I don’t feel like I am on a diet as I can have as much to eat as I want depending on the route I am on and I never feel hungry, which is unusual for a diet.

It was on Monday 7th September 2009 that I reached my target weight after losing 4 stone 11/2 lbs, I couldn’t believe it. You should have seen me jumping up and down and running around the hall with excitement; to me it was like winning the lottery. My life has changed in so many ways since losing the weight as I can do things I couldn’t do before, like walking along a beach with a tankini on, instead of a swimsuit covered with a sarong. I have loads more energy for life now. I just wished I had joined the class years ago.
