“I was blaming the weight gain on the menopause but during lockdown like everyone else I was drinking a lot more and eating rubbish. I was doing PT x4 a week and that was one of the turning points.
“I couldn’t perform the exercises like I used to be able to and my belly got in the way.
Believe me if I can do this anyone can!”
“You have to realise you can’t lose weight just exercising or just eating properly. It has to be both. For me using the food tracking app myfitnesspal meant I could recognise what I was eating. I was eating healthily but tracking my food made me realise my portion sizes were too large.
“It was hard work, I won’t lie. I plateaued after about a month but stuck at it and 5 months down the line I’ve achieved what I wanted and actually feel really good about myself. I actually wear clothes other than elasticated gym wear now and feel good in them. Believe me if I can do this anyone can!”
