I'm five stones lighter and loving it!
Is a busy schedule your excuse for not committing to a healthy weight-loss programme? Sorry, but that just doesn't wash! Once you read this super success story on super-busy Suzanne MacKenzie, you'll realise there is always enough time for a healthy lifestyle
This successful edieter has plenty on her plate: she works a 12-hour shift, takes care of two young children and helps out at a school. But not even the heaviest workload stopped Suzanne from finding time to whittle away a whopping five stones.
By the time she started her ediet last February, Suzanne weighed in at just over 16 stones. The mum-of-two was frustrated by the fact she couldn't keep up with her girls, Sam, now four, and Erica, now six. She feared that when Erica started school she would suffer the embarrassment of having the 'fat mummy'.
The turning point, however, came when Suzanne's grandmother passed away last January. For years, she had tried to push Suzanne towards a healthier lifestyle. So it was in her grandmother's death that our featured dieter found a new reason to live life at a more healthy weight.
5'8" Suzanne now stands a fit and fabulous 11 stones. Trendy size 12 clothes have replaced her old size 22/24 outfits. And Suzanne says all she needed to do was take the weighty matters into her own hands.
'I had to become a little selfish,' the 29-year-old tells eDiets. 'I thought 'Look, I need one hour a day for me and I'm taking it!' It takes guts. When you're used to giving all your spare time, it's hard not to feel guilty.
What Suzanne needed was a plan that would fit her shifting work schedule - some days 7am to 7pm, other days 7pm to 7am. With time working against her, edieting was just the thing she needed - a weight-loss programme with support available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The best part - everything could be done from the comfort of her home.
