A heart attack gave me a wake-up call

I was rushed into hospital with a heart attack. I realised I had to lose weight.

Once I was out of hospital, I joined LighterLife. I’d never been able to stick to a diet before but I found LighterLife a lot easier then I expected. I was full of gusto and I really wanted to do it.

Soon simple activities such as climbing the stairs were starting to get easier. I used to kid myself that my weight wasn’t the problem but, once it began to drop off, there was no denying what a big part of the problem it had been. Now that I’ve had a taste of being thin, I’m determined to stay this way.
