LIZ GREENAN, 62
MUM-IN-LAW
STAFF nurse Liz had got into a rut of eating anything she wanted and the weight piled on.
Liz, 62, from East Kilbride, eventually decided to take action. And after joining WW, she’s shed two stone and dropped from a size 16 to an 8/10.
She said: “Part of my problem was that I never ate regular meals but always grabbed on the go. The choices became quick and unhealthy, like takeaways, sweeties and crisps.
“One day, I thought to myself, ‘Enough is enough’. So I went to WW and enjoyed it. I’ve lost weight and the arthritis in my knee has almost gone.
“With WW, you can eat whatever you want as long as you track everything. Now I’m making the time to cook quick, healthy food and have cut out all the rubbish on the go. It’s made all the difference to my weight and mind.
“I’ll have chicken, fish, vegetables and fruit – all the things I love – and drink plenty of water. If I did night shift before, I would reach for chocolate – now it’s fruit or yoghurt.”
Liz had first gone to WW years ago – but after stopping, she gave into temptation and put weight back on.
So in June 2016, she joined again. Liz said: “Since losing my weight, I feel fitter and younger within myself due to the fact I can do more, such as I run after my grandchildren and do activities with them I couldn’t have done before as I was too unfit and self-conscious.
“I encouraged Samantha as she saw I’d lost weight and then Samantha’s mum joined. The three of us together encouraged and egged each other on.”
