Linda’s joy at being 100 pounds lighter
A Perthshire woman is celebrating after shedding over 100lb in just 21 months.
Linda Sinclair from Pitlochry has been attending Birnam’s Weight Watchers for nearly two years.
She has been working on the group’s flex plan after saying she was uncomfortable with her size and not realising she was putting on weight each month.
However, since joining Weight Watchers in September 2016, she has lost a whopping 102lbs.
She said:“I can honestly say that Weight Watchers has changed my relationship with food and my life.
“It improved my eating habits, built confidence, helped me make much better choices and encouraged me to get back to cooking meals.
“My diet is now much healthier, I love that nothing is off the menu and with some great choices I can still enjoy nights out with family and friends.
“The Weight Watchers app is just brilliant at helping you make the right choice and keep on track.”
She added:“Weight Watchers encourages you to increase your activity so now I walk between meetings, try to go out on the bike with my daughter and leave the car at home whenever possible.”
