I have just lost 2 stone in 4 months. I was always very slim until i got married and comfort ate as i was happy. After 5 years of marriage and one daughter later, i put on 2 stone.
Went from size 8 (8stone) to a 14. (10 stone 7) Not big i know but when you have always been slim, to put on that much weight was depressing and my DH started to lose interest in me.
I decided this year enough was enough. Through sheer will power and determination i have lost the weight without joining a slimming club. My mother suffers from obesity and i have tried slimming world, the only thing that lost weight was my purse on fees.
I truly think with support from home it is possible without paying out loads of joining fees and weekly fees for some women to tell you what not to eat.
