Andrea Jones
I stopped smoking and my weight sky-rocketed!
Ex-smoker Andrea Jones, a full time carer, has lost 1 stone 5 pounds and feels great again.
When I gave up smoking, I put on almost 2 stone. The weight just went on everywhere, around my arms, across my tummy and I had no waist. Everything was tight, even my rings!
I'd always been around 8½ stone, now I was well over 10 stone, I felt very uncomfortable and I was very unhappy. I tried a slimming class but just didn't get on with it at all. I was getting desperate and even considered starting smoking again to get off those pounds!
I'm a full time carer for my 88 year old Mum and when she recently moved into a super new flat at Llys Faen in Bridgend, I saw the notices about the new Slimtone class there. I thought I might as well give it a go, as it was very convenient for me and would be a useful place to meet Mum's new neighbours.
The Slimtone Lifestyle Plan worked for me straight away. I can eat anything I want - in moderation, of course - and I have lost weight every single week since I joined. Marie is so inspirational with lots of ideas and new recipes. And I couldn't have done it without the others in the class – they've been great. I look forward to Friday mornings and meeting up with everyone. They are all very encouraging and we exchange tips and ideas. I really wouldn't have tried the own brand curry sauce if Marie hadn't suggested it – now we all enjoy making curry at home instead of having a take-away.
I'm now almost back to my 'usual' weight and it's made a BIG difference. All my clothes fit again and, at last, I can open my wardrobes with confidence. Not only that, I've made some great new friends and helped Mum settle in…and I'm still not smoking! Thanks Marie.
