Eventually, in January 2018, I decided that enough was enough. I weighed 22st 2lbs and it was e lost 16st between us – time to change for the sake of my kids. I’d heard the Slimming World plan was easy to follow, so I found some recipes online. “I need to lose weight, so these have got to go,” I said to Shiv as er I threw packets of biscuits into the bin. Shiv was encouraging, and instead of calling for a takeaway, we cooked healthy Slimming World versions of our favourite lasagne, and we even made fish and chips. After seven weeks, I nervously stepped onto the scales, which read 20st. I’d lost 2st in under two months and couldn’t believe it! The weight was falling of Shiv, too, and he was thrilled. For extra support, I started going to Slimming World meetings as well, and Shiv enrolled at the local gym and began weight training. “I’m so glad we’re doing this together,” he said. I started exercising with him, even though I’d never been a fan before, and soon my confidence and fitness levels soared. Friends complimented our new, slimmed-down figures and when I posed for photos, I no longer felt uncomfortable. In November 2019, I hit my goal weight of 12st 11lbs. I lost almost 10st and could wear a size 12. Shiv has lost weight and gained muscle and now Shiv does weight weighs 13st 7lbs. Together, we training at their have lost 16st between us!
