‘My weight was ruining my holidays – how I’ve slimmed from size 20 to a trim 14’

Lynn Walker was suffering for knee pain that was severely impacting her beloved campervan trips – but since losing three stone she’s never been fitter

Royal Mail worker Lynn Walker loves nothing more than her campervan holidays.

But the 57-year-old started suffering from knee pain, which made it hard for her to walk and would spoil her holidays.

Now Lynn, from Manchester, has shed three stone and dropped from a size 20 to a size 14, she has never been fitter and is about to take on paddleboarding.

Before joining Slimming World Online, Lynn was a classic ‘yo-yo’ dieter and couldn’t believe that Slimming World’s Food Optimising plan could satisfy her appetite and still help her to lose weight.

She said: “There’s always something you can eat and there’s just no way you can get bored with all the choices.”

Lynn used to eat buttery toast for breakfast, followed by biscuits, and dinner would be a curry with naan bread – washed down with cider or wine.

Now she enjoys Weetabix with fruit and fat-free yogurt for breakfast, and homemade burgers and chips with salad for dinner. She loves that she can still enjoy treats too, and her partner and son, who live with her, all enjoy the same family meals.

Lynn found the Slimming World digital-only service worked perfectly around her lifestyle and loves reading success stories and trying out the exclusive activity videos, that are included for free within her membership.

She said: “Every day I browse the online community and love chatting to other slimmers. There’s always something new to look at when I log on, the recipes are amazing and I always fill the planner in.”

Since losing weight Lynn’s confidence has blossomed. Last summer she even felt confident enough to put on a wetsuit and go bodyboarding, and this summer she’s hoping to try paddleboarding.

She said: “Before I lost weight I’d see myself in a mirror and feel down, now I can’t believe the person who’s looking back at me.”
