I had become extremely overweight which was affecting my weight and my family. I became virtually housebound, so much so that my husband Colin was thinking of getting a wheelchair. I also found that I was unable to cope with the normal daily chores and I began to rely heavily upon my daughter Anne to help me.

Something had to be done, so I started dieting just Xmas 1999 and lost a few pounds. I realised that I would have to put a lot of effort into this diet, for a significant amount of time, so I decided to join Super Slim. I joined on 24/1/2000 with a starting weight of 20 stone 8 pounds.

I have been following the Super Diet ever since and have been steadily heading towards my target weight with the help of my Group Leader Julie Robbins. The fact that I felt better with every single pound that I lost, motivated me to lose more. I enjoy regularly meeting my friends at the club, we support each other and share our successes.

My life now is healthier and fitter. My husband and I enjoy walking and regularly visit local beauty spots. I now look forward to getting on the dance floor and it's good exercise too! I can now do my own household chores with out any problems, much to the relief of my daughter Anne. Another new hobby of mine is shopping. It is so much more enjoyable and affordable. I'm not sure that Colin approves of this new hobby, his wallet is much lighter too! To sum up the difference that losing weight has made to my life, I would say that I now have a quality of life that I have not experienced for many years and find enjoyment in all things.
