Catherine  After


slimmer success story : Catherine Clarke

I feel so much better in every way since I lost weight

When Catherine Clarke bought her first-ever size 12 clothes, she had every reason to be delighted. For, in just eight months, she had lost 43lb and gone from a dress size 18 to a size 12. Catherine had spent eight years struggling with her weight before she eventually joined rosemaryconleyonline. Her confidence had fallen and she was not enjoying life as much as she should have done – she felt old before her time. Sometimes, Catherine was teased in a friendly way about her size, but deep down it hurt and, when she went on holiday, she found it was a real squeeze to fit into the plane seat.

 What Catherine has to say about rosemaryconleyonline

“After Christmas last year, I logged on to rosemaryconleyonline and signed up for a year. I am so glad that I took out a year's membership as it is now giving me support to maintain my weight and I cannot imagine life without chatting to my online buddies.

“For me, this is the most motivating aspect about the site, and my online buddies come from all around the world. They are a very friendly bunch and, when one of us is down or has a problem, we all rally round and care for each other. When I was losing weight, they always congratulated me on my success, which made me feel good and kept me motivated for the following week.”

Catherine's biggest benefits of losing weight

"I feel so much better in every way since I lost weight and my BMI is now within the normal range. I feel fitter and am more active. I am also less lethargic and do not get out of breath as easily. I can run for a bus and chase my grandchildren around. It is easier to bend and pick up things off the floor and to tie my shoe laces. Most of all, I feel good in company. I am no longer embarrassed about my size. I feel proud of my body and no longer hide in the corner. I am there in the middle of all the fun, wearing my new, fashionable size 12 clothes.”
