Meet the amazing Katie from our Skipton Class who has lost an incredible 8 Stone (112lb).   Here's what she has to say.....

"From being a young child I have always been overweight and I have joked with my family and friends that I could find fat in a lettuce!  I've tried so many diets over the years, lost weight and the re-gained it - and more!!

A friend  recommended that I go to Weigh Better Together and, in March 24, I joined.  My confidence was at rock bottom, I felt ashamed of myself, avoided mirrors and hid under baggy clothes!  I loved the classes and found them so inspiring.  Each week I would go back and the number at the scales was less and less.  The talks taught me so much about nutrition, how to read food labels, what my body needs to fuel itself and keep me fuller for longer without binging on my favourite snacks!  

I've changed my relationship with food as I know that I don't have to associate food with guilt.  Most importantly, WBT has shown me that nothing is 'bad' for you, nothing is 'off the table', It's all about balance!  I can still have drinks with the girls, meals out with my family - it really fits in with my lifestyle!

I have gradually added exercise to my routine ( I hadn't done any for over 10 years, so Adele's encouragement really helped).

So where am I now?  18 months later I have lost 8 stone and am almost at goal.  I've gone from a size 22 to a size 8/10, developed a love of 'Clubbersize' and lead a much healthier life.  I no longer have to hide behind baggy clothes and a fake smile.   I cannot thank Adele, the other Coaches, and everyone at Weigh Better Together enough.  It's an incredible support system and your words of encouragement have been truly overwhelming.  I have so much love and appreciation for you all."
