"Getting to goal felt brilliant, and it shone through in the way I felt as well as how I looked. "

How Julie fitted her eating plan into her life (and waved goodbye to elasticated jeans).Life was getting busy - I'd just changed jobs and sold my business, and I suddenly had a lot of extra time on my hands. And, it seems, I filled that time with eating – lots and lots of eating.

The motivation I needed I knew I was putting on weight, but I didn't feel too bad about it. Well, not until I heard a blunt remark about my size from someone I hadn't seen in months. While it was horrible to hear, I couldn't deny it. I was definitely bigger and had even started steering away from the fun, bright clothes I'd always loved. When it came to my initial motivation, that was the push I needed to do something about my weight.

Consistently lost weight WW was the perfect choice to transform my lifestyle in a way that worked for me. It was easy to fit it into my life. It made things simpler for me, and to my surprise and delight, I found that I consistently lost weight eating this way.

New-found confidence Getting to goal felt brilliant, and it shone through in the way I felt as well as how I looked. Bright colours slowly came back into my wardrobe – and with my new-found confidence, fitted clothes and exposed arms became less scary.

Goodbye! Losing the weight has helped me to feel like me again. My favourite part? Waving goodbye to those elasticated-waist jeans!
