I am 30 years, married to Christopher for nearly 5 years and have a 3-year-old daughter Imogen who keeps me active.

I've always had a weight problem if that's what you want to call it, but I've never put myself down only when it came to
wearing a swimming costume I would cringe.

When I was 18 I joined weight watchers, I'd just met Chris and I was out to impress and I lost 3 stone, although he loved me for who I was and not what I looked like, it was a new relationship, new start.

By the time June 2002 came I had gained my 3 stone plus
another 4, 2 of which I gained during my pregnancy. The time had come to face my fear, going to a weight loss class, and getting on the scales, which I still dread now, I hate it.

My friend Sarah who joined Super Slim the same time as me, felt the same, so one night while we were sitting stuffed from Carvery and a pudding we decided enough was enough and we would do it together. If it weren't for Sarah I wouldn't be 5 stone 3 lb lighter than June 2002. We've supported each other 100% through the highs and the lows.I now go to gym twice a week to help me lose the next stone and a half, which is my personal goal so watch this space.

My main reason for conquering my weight problem was for
Imogen, I didn't want her to have a fat Mum who was banned by going to Alton Towers and getting breathless when it came to doing the 3 legged race and the egg and spoon.
