I am not an expert on much apart from me and my struggle to lose weight and get fit. This journey started back in 2009 when I gave up my car. I decided I was getting too fat (nearly 20 stone) and when I got in my car to drive up the road to post a letter I knew things were getting a little out of hand …. although being 20 stone was a big clue too!

This is what I looked like when I started in 2009

So I started walking but not for exercise or to lose weight, just so that I wasn’t so lazy. I could feel my flexibility disappearing at the tender age of 42 and I didn’t like it.

November 2009 is when the weight loss fun started and I joined Tesco Diet and that was great for a while but then in May 2010 someone told me about the only diet solution and the fact that it wasn’t a diet appealed to me! What it is though is a hardcore eating program ==> diet solution review <== and what that did was kick start my weight loss in a big way while teaching me about the importance of fat burning and avoiding sugar (sugar hides in most of our food)

The photo of me on the left is the photo that started my weight loss journey back in 2009. I couldn’t believe the size of me! I am tall at 5′ 10″ anyway but I couldn’t believe how wide and swollen I had become!

By the summer of 2010 when I went on my holiday I was nearly 3 stones lighter.... yippee! I also took on a personal trainer in June 2010 and that really helped me to focus on exercise.

Winter 2010 came and I stopped – stopped exercising, stopped eating well – and guess what…. I actually didn’t put much weight on (I think its because I lost it so slowly with The Diet Solution using healthy eating rather than a diet) but what did happen is I began to get unfit again. I stopped around November and restarted back in July 2011. Since July I have been eating well and exercising.

The photo below of me in the pink jumper is the first photo of me when I started The Diet Solution in May 2010 and the one on the right is November 2010.  It was around that time that I stopped eating the Diet Solution way and stopped exercise (big mistake)

 

November 2011

I restarted by weight loss journey in July 2011 but was moving home and stuff so haven’t been taking photos or anything. The photo below is the most recent one of me in November 2011. I am eating better than I ever have thanks to the Diet Solution. I know what will make me feel great and what won’t and I get to choose.

I write about it on this blog and you can also read my diet solution honest review

It was a little hardcore for someone like myself who has a lot of weight to lose and I began feeling a little dizzy (which I was told was the lack of carbs or the sudden crash and lack of carbs) – I believe I was just detoxing and should have carried on but I stopped.

I also use

I am determined NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES to fit back into a UK size 12-14 dress. I am not focused on how much I weigh and more focused on getting into old clothes that no longer fit until they do. That works for me – when you get your own copy of the Diet Solution Program you can figure out what works for you.
