Nearing 40 and having had two kids I had begun to feel like I would always be overweight. Ten years on and I was still trying to shed my unwanted two stones I had put on during my first pregnancy. I had tried healthy diets and moderate exercise and lost one or two pounds over a few weeks and always ended up feeling hungry from the extra exercise so I would want to eat more! I was very de-motivated.

Then my friend suggested I try going to The National Slimming Clinic in Coventry and get a doctor to weigh me and assess just how much weight I needed to lose. After all the medical checks she advised me to try an appetite suppressant. I was very concerned about taking these as I had bought tablets previously off the internet and after taking those for a week I lost an astonishing 5lbs but was only sleeping about two or three hours a night and felt high as a kite and then finally became very ill.

The doctor at The National Slimming Clinic assured me that by eating sensibly and with a moderate exercise plan as well as a multivitamin supplement I was sure to not only lose weight but stay fit and healthy.

So I began with a week’s trial and lost 3lbs and then I was back again for another month’s supply because it really was that easy to lose the weight and I did feel good. I ate a sensible diet low in fat and processed foods and kept to regular meal times despite not always feeling hungry. I increased my cardiovascular calorie burning workouts at the gym and within three weeks I had lost 10lbs and my body was quickly losing inches and changing shape and everyone was noticing.

Ten weeks on and I had lost a total of 28lbs and dropped two dress sizes! The slimmest I have been in 10 years! And now almost a year later the weight has stayed off. I follow a sensible eating plan with moderate exercise and haven’t had to use the tablets again!

From my own experience I would advise anyone taking appetite suppressants to continue eating a sensible regular diet and to increase their exercise to speed up the metabolism so that when they stop taking the tablets the weight does not pile back on!

Take care and happy losing!
