Jan Gordon
Fab at 40!
Jan has lost just under 4 stone and is now a Slimtone consultant herself.
I knew I'd put on weight, but when I looked at the photo my brother had taken of me and didn't know it was me…gulp! I was almost 14 stone and couldn't believe I'd let myself go. I made excuses not to go out. I didn't feel comfortable and would just buy bigger and bigger sizes.
I joined Slimtone and decided to set myself a target of two years to lose the weight – I wanted to be Fab at 40 not Fat at 40. And guess what, slowly and surely, I've done it in just 15 months.
I've got 4 children, so everything has to be ‘family-friendly'. With Slimtone it's easy because it's all about “real" food. My family especially enjoy the Spaghetti Bolognese and the corned beef recipes. My own favourite is the sweet pepper and butternut squash soup – tasty, filling and all from my “free" vegetables.
And do you know what, our family food shopping bill is about half what it used to be. No more ready meals, no more takeaways – you can imagine how much that was for six of us! No e-colours or e-numbers, instead it's all fresh food. I sort out our week's menu, plan my shopping and away we go. And if there are any special offers in the supermarket, I stock up and freeze things for those lazy days (I bet you have them too.)
Now instead of wearing my husband's polo shirts, I can buy nice dresses. I've had so many compliments from my family and friends. I love going to the shops knowing I can buy almost anything I see. Imagine the thrill of telling the assistant “This one's too big."!
I'm a big fan of Slimtone and tell everyone. When I was about a stone away from my target weight, Marie asked me to become a consultant with Slimtone – I was thrilled. Marie knows this business so well. There's always something new to learn. Marie stays completely up-to-date with everything and gives us ideas, tips and new recipes to share with our members. My class keeps me on my toes too. Their stories really inspire me and I'm always getting new ideas. It's a great feeling!
