My weight has fluctuated quite dramatically for the past 10 - 15 years. However, for the last 2 - 3 years, there has been a steady increase in my weight, with a lot less motivation from me to battle against it.

As my struggle to diet got harder, the will power and self esteem gets eroded that little bit more. I was at a very low ebb and resigned to the fact that I was always going to be overweight, when I saw an advert to join Super Slim. I phoned Head Office and a lady answered, called Jan, who seemed very nice and helpful, so I thought I'd give it a go. I went to my first class full of trepidation, not least because I knew I would be the only male there, but after that initial class, I thought "that wasn't so bad".

I continued to attend class and formed a friendship and bond with the other ladies. This added to the very interesting classes which Carol supervises, gave me the will power and motivation which I thought had long gone. Our classes last about two hours every Monday, and even now I wonder where the time goes. That's just a reflection on how much I enjoy the format and the company of the other members.
