'I've lost over 40kg'

‘I’ve lost over 40kg’

In August 2004 I weighed in at 122 kg. When a girlfriend rang and asked me to go to Weight Watchers with her as moral support, I agreed.

Now some 15 months later I have just weighed in at 80kg — that’s over 40kg lost, 22 of them in the last 12 months.

When I think of what my life was like before … no energy. I have a bad knee and could not even walk up a small step without holding onto a railing in case my knee gave out on me. I was in size 26 clothing and they were very, very tight.

Now I am size 14-16, I exercise everyday and I recently ran up the cliffs at the lookout at Byron Bay and beat my kids.

To anyone who is thinking of losing weight, I don’t believe it matters what program you decide to do, you just need to be ready in your mind and it will work for you.
