Brave slimmer reaches her goal

A GLENROTHES super slimmer has managed to lose 6 stone 2oz in less than a year.

Jane Thorpe’s feat—amazing for anyone —is all the more remarkable given the hurdles she faced. Not only is Jane almost blind due to retinal deterioration, she suffers from slipped discs and sciatica which leave her wheelchair-bound for most of the day.

Despite her debilitating conditions, the 35-year-old mother of three decided to enlist the help of Rosemary Conley’s home diet and fitness pack.

Jane’s condition escalated from the age of 30 when her excruciating back pain meant she had to spend more and more time in a wheelchair. On top of that was the gradual loss of her sight.

“I became so depressed all I wanted to do was eat,” she said. “I became a virtual re-cluse and my diet went from bad to worse.”

At her heaviest Jane tipped the scales at 15 stone. Just 4 ft 11 in tall, she wore a dress size 24/26 and began to fear for her health.

“I had chronic asthma and was always suffering with chest pains,” she said. “At my height I can’t afford to be that heavy.”

Jane sent for the Rosemary Conley postal diet and fitness pack and just 11 months later, by switching junk food for healthy alternatives, she reached her goal weight of 8 st 12 lb and became a slinky size 10.

With the help of a physiotherapist, she was able to do a few gentle exercises.

“I still have health problems but they have definitely lessened. I can walk short distances now,” said Jane. “I have a much more positive outlook and have added 10 years to my life.”
