Then…15st 7lb

Now… 9st 7lb

Yes, I was big, but I thought I looked pretty good – until I saw this photo of me on holiday! I weighed 15 1/2 st.

Then I saw an article about the New You Boot Camp and thought: I could do that! My dad was in the military so the tough-love approach appealed!

I signed up for a week’s camp, and, boy, was I in for a shock! I was so unfit, I could hardly run 200 yards – and by the end of day two, I was really struggling.

Running with logs, pushing a minibus (with people in it!), war games, mountain biking, push-ups – I did the lot.

But I lasted the course and by the end of the week I’d lost half a stone and dropped a dress size!

When I got home, I started to run on my own, I ate healthly and in eight months (and another boot camp visit!) I’d lost a brilliant 5 1/2 st.

These days, I’ll still eat a curry, but next day I’ll go for a six-mile run to compensate.

That’s my pay-off deal – and it works for me!*
