My diet used to be terrible. I loved snacks chocolate bars, crisps, cakes and fizzy drinks. For lunch I would feast on pizza and chips. I was overweight, miserable and felt depressed. When I hit 18.5 stone, I knew I had to lose weight but I had to do it for myself. I discovered Herbalife through the Internet and started a Weight Management Programme, and pretty soon the excess weight began to fall off. However, it wasn't just my physical appearance that changed; it was everything! I noticed dramatic transformations in myself. My attitude, confidence and outlook in life were completely different I was happy! It was a major confidence boost. It was easy to motivate myself as I lost weight. For me, the changes were fast. My energy levels went through the roof, and I felt a lot lighter. Now I feel unbelievable. By regular exercise and my new-found love for Latin dancing, I've bulked out, turning my fat into muscle. Now I am much fitter and healthier, I am entering Latin dancing competitions and taking part in triathlons something I never thought I'd do. Last year, I took part in the Michelob ULTRA London triathlon as part of a group and did the swim in just 18 minutes. This year, I am preparing for the London Triathlon in August. I've decided to go it alone; it's going to be a huge personal achievement. To prepare, I dance twice a week for four hours at a time. I work out at the gym three times a week, doing a lot of cardio. I go on the treadmill, rower and bike and do press-ups. I'm happy with what I've achieved. I was unhappy for so many years, now I'm living life to the max!
