About Me

This article is about me, Beth. I am not a personal trainer nor a nutritionist, so you might wonder what gives me the authority to write a website on slimming.

Well I may not be a professional but I have been in the weight loss industry form the other side since I was young.

Let’s face it we all know what the experts say … the only way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more. And if we’re honest with ourselves we know this is true.

But this doesn’t stop me being seduced by the wonderful claims made by slimming creams, drinks and treatments. I have spent 100’s if not 1000’s of pounds over the years on products that claim to melt the fat and banish the cellulite. Some have worked, most have not.

I hope this website becomes a useful resource that can help you decide whether to try a product or not. Where I have used a product I will give you an honest opinion of whether or not it worked and I hope you will leave your experiences on products I haven’t gotten around to yet.

From puppy fat to a beer belly I have suffered with a weight problem for most of my life. I have managed to lose a substantial amount of weight a couple of times, but eventually I slip back into bad habits and the weight comes back on. It’s usually gradually, over a period of two or three years, so I don’t notice, until all the clothes in my wardrobe no longer fit.

I try a new diet and exercise programme every few months, usually a self-motivated plan, but find I crack within the first few days, typically with chocolate and all my efforts go out of the window.

My latest weight loss attempts have been quite successful. Fed up of not being able to fit into any of my clothes, in September 2010 I contacted a personal trainer who introduced me to Kettlebells and the healthy eating plan, and so far I have lost 2 stone.

My goal is 3 stone so I’m still a way off; illness over the past few months has caused me to hit a plateau. But by keeping up with my exercise regime has ensured that despite my love affair with chocolate being reintroduced, I have kept the weight off.

I am going to use some of the products on this site to try and get me off my plateau and of course I will let you know the outcome.
