I joined Super Slim in 2004 after seeing some photographs taken of me during the summer, I was horrified!!
Earlier on in the year I had been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and between taking high doses of steroids, other medication, being inactive and eating too much, I'd piled the weight on. I knew that if I could lose some weight it would help my painful joints and self esteem. I couldn't buy the clothes I liked and looked awful in everything I wore.
I was very nervous when I walked into my first Super Slim class but everyone was really friendly. The diets are easy to follow and Annette, the Group Leader is always there with help and advice. I know that I would have given up months ago if it hadn't been for her, she's been so supportive.
My weight loss is slow but I'm still determined to stick at it. I am still very overweight but the more weight I lose, the healthier I will feel.
