00:00Hello my name is Natasha and I have lost eight and a half stone. Two and a half years ago I was

00:06over 20 stone and I was a size 24. Before I started losing weight I was really uncomfortable

00:14all the time very little confidence and so many things in my head to think about like I didn't

00:18like eating in front of people. Things like if I was invited to a garden party for a barbecue

00:25I'm worried in case this the chairs weren't sturdy enough and even shopping for clothes locally was

00:33practically impossible because they didn't stock my size so shopping online and having to type plus

00:39size in before each item was quite disheartening and I did a lot of secret eating and at 26 years

00:47old I was getting out of breath walking up the stairs. So two and a half years ago I was sitting

00:52right where I am now. I had a big chippy, I had a bag of sweets and I just thought and in that moment

01:01I just knew I needed to change. I needed to do something to feel better and I was researching

01:09on my phone and seeing that there was a Slimming World group on within the hour so I just got up

01:15and went and I haven't looked back since. After one year I had lost six stone shortly after I joined the

01:22gym and even shopping at Christmas there for new clothes because I really needed them. I was dreading

01:28it big time because I always hated shopping and I loved it. I loved it. I loved picking clothes up off

01:33the shelf and then that they fitted and me and my husband were on holiday a couple of months ago

01:40and we were getting some photos done and in one of them he picked me up and it was amazing to be picked

01:47up by another human being to be lifted and it was great. Even just the warm weather being on holiday,

01:54I was always really uncomfortable on holiday and really covered up and that holiday was amazing.

02:00It was such a good memory to have. So yeah even now I'm a size 10 to 12 and I'm just over 11 stone

02:08and I'm still on my journey and I just love it. The energy, better sleep quality, my asthma medication

02:15has been reduced and going out. I love going out now and I don't mind eating in front of people

02:23and if I broke a chair I will know that it's not because of my weight. So if you are watching this

02:32I would say go for it. Just go for it. Don't think about it. Don't plan it for Monday. Just go

02:38for it. It'll be a really great decision and you won't regret it.
