My NHS scrubs were skin-tight

now I can fit both my legs into one!

" I have struggled with my weight for most of my life, I have tried other diets and exercise plans, losing a couple of stone. However, the weight usually started to creep back on.

More recently my weight started to go up as I changed jobs and started working a combination of night and day shifts in the NHS. My energy levels dropped, and my eating habits changed dramatically. I’d be snacking constantly between seeing patients and due to the nature of the work I’d be sitting down most of the time. My physical health was also suffering and exercising became more challenging the more weight I gained. I just couldn’t be bothered during the pandemic, my emotional eating increased through that scary time. Wearing scrubs most of the time stopped me worrying about what I looked like. I started the LighterLife Programme in April 2021, I contacted Tracey, my Mentor who was lovely and so supportive, so I signed up. The initial few days were hard, but I stuck to it, drinking lots of water and black coffee and it quickly got much easier, and my energy levels and motivation increased.

I’ve lost 4st 7lb and gone from at least a size 18 to a size 12. I think I look pretty good for a grandmother. Finding fashionable clothes is so much easier now, I have got rid of all my larger size clothes because I refuse to go back to them. I would highly recommend joining LighterLife. I feel I have got my life back and LighterLife has just become a part of it.
