As we landed at Birmingham Airport last year, I vowed I would never look like that again for another holiday. My bottom was far too big to fit into one seat and I was squeezed into a size 28-30 dress. No bikini for me only baggy T shirts and floral shorts. Back in England, I was going to do something before next year’s holiday, which was already booked. I had 12 months, what could I do? On September 2nd I joined a Super Slim class.

I had tried many times before but this time I was serious. After a chat the moment of truth arrived.........THE SCALES........I got on.........20 st 5 lbs! I was horrified. This was the heaviest I had ever been. With my truth sheet and diet book I went home and cried. The first week was hard but when I returned, I was rewarded by a 10lbs weight loss. I was thrilled. I had confidence, energy, and could play with my daughter, Grace. By Christmas I had lost 54 lbs. So this year in Ibiza, my daughter had better be ready for her new-look Mom.
