ANNIE’S TIP

Stick to your own story. Everyone is different and our own personal weight-loss endeavours have to be played out within the context of our lifestyle, whether we work full-time or are retired, and what the demands on us are as people, given our usual role as the hub of the family at this time of year. All these things matter. But whatever it is you are striving for – improved strength, fitness, shape – you will get there.
