Vanessa was 18 stone when she joined LighterLife, it was a busy social life and the ability to drink many of her male friends under the table that saw her weight spiral out of control.
After a friend of Vanessa’s lost 5 stone* on LighterLife, she went ahead and signed up, what appealed to her most was the group counselling included on the programme. Vanessa thought the hardest part would be giving up alcohol but her amazing weight loss spurred her on, in her first week she’d lost 10 pounds!
Vanessa says: “Growing up I’d always been chubby, but it was when I hit 17 and started going to the pub that my weight spiralled out of control. I loved letting my hair down, I’d drink pints of lager at the pub and end up with an Indian on the way home. I worked at a pub while studying and my weight rocketed to 15 stone.
I met Simon (my husband to be) and we soon fell into the ‘relationship comfort zone’ my size ballooned even more. We went on holiday to Majorca and scrolling throught our snaps when I got back I saw a picture of me and I looked massive. By now I weight 18 stone, I had to do something about it.
Eight months after joining LighterLife I still go to the pub – I just drink soda water. I don’t miss drinking pints at all. I lost a staggering 8st 10lb slimming down to a dress size 10. I look fantastic and shopping has gone from something I dreaded to my favourite hobby.
