Tara Daniel's amazing experience with Now Slim, exactly as she sent it to us. How weight loss can change your life!

I've always been a size 12-14 since I can remember, even through being a teenager.  It did make me feel a little self conscious I must admit as at age 15 I was starting to be more aware of my appearance.  When I was 18, I decided to start my own cheerleading squad, which was an amazing experience & I did it as a scheme to get other teenage girls off the street and to be part of a team.  I gained a lot of confidence and self esteem from doing this.

2 years later I became pregnant with my first child (my daughter who is now 4). I gained approx 2 stones from this, which made me quite self-conscious but I wasn’t obese, just overweight.  I thought that I’d lose the baby weight soon after but found it so hard to loose the weight as I was stuck in the house all day, couldn’t afford the gym & had no childcare available either so I got stuck in the rut of overeating because I was bored.  Soon after that when my daughter was 1 I gave up coaching cheerleading and the weight piled on.

I was approx a size 14-16 when I got pregnant again with my son (who is now 2).  My weight did worry me but again this time I thought that with two children to run around after it would keep me busy and the weight would fall off (I was sadly mistaken!!!).

When my son was 7 months old I noticed that I’d been piling on the pounds, I had no energy, my knees and back were hurting, I was miserable and depressed.  I weighed myself and was utterly shocked at how much weight I’d put on! I was weighing in at nearly 15 stone, which was classed as overly obese for my frame and height of 5'5".  I couldn’t believe it.  I got all my photos out and looked at how much slimmer I was before I had my children and decided that I needed to go on a diet as my health was bothering me and I had no energy to play with my children the way I wanted to.

I tried everything, fruit diets, cereal diets, and the gym. It was ok at first but then my lack of will power got the better of me and again the weight just wouldn’t budge.  I even went for a blood test to test for thyroid problems but all was normal.  It was hard, trying to diet, feeding the kids nice home cooked meals and not being able to eat the same yet still not loose any weight, plus all the intense dieting made me week, tired and grouchy!!! It made me loose hope.  My doctors wouldn’t help me either.

I was miserable.  At the same time I was in debt, I had a very low self esteem which stopped me from perusing my goals and I’d split up from my partner of 6 years whilst I was pregnant with my son, so I was in a rut.  On top of that my health was bothering me, I was getting quite severe chest pains, and breathlessness with it; I couldn’t climb the stairs without tiring myself out.  I went back to the doctors but again they wouldn’t help. They put it down as stress and anxiety attacks.

I went back home feeling deflated, hopeless. Again I got out my old photos and came across a photo after I had my son, I was overwhelmed. I had gone from a size 12-14 to a size 20 in the space of 2 years.  This was putting a massive strain on my body & on my mind and affecting my lifestyle badly.  There were so many things I wanted to do with my life and do with the children but my weight did hinder that along with my low self-esteem. 

One night after browsing the Internet looking at information on diets, even gastric bypass surgery!! I decided that I was going to loose weight, I had to, I was sick of being in a rut.  I decided to buy a size 12 pair designer jeans on Ebay and promised myself that I would fit back into them no matter what.  I had no idea how, I was always around food, always to tired to exercise, couldn’t afford to go to the gym and had no one to watch the children if I did (which I’m sure a lot of women are in the same position!!) I just wasn’t ready to accept my situation and stay in the comfort-eating zone I was in.

As I was browsing the Internet, I looked up slimming products, most of them where overly expensive, had gelatine in or had too many synthetic chemicals.  I then came across Now Slim.  As anyone is, I was dubious at first but then I read all the amazing positive feedback they’d received plus pictures to add to the amazing weight loss stories, I was amazed, although still a little dubious!!  I decided to order, no harm in trying, I was running out of options and hope.

Within a few days I received my first bottle along with some free sample goodies to try which was great!!! I took 1 to start with and much to my amazement I could tell they were working their magic, I got a burst of energy, which was great and much needed too! After I few days I was taking 2 tablets twice a day, I had only just noticed that I hadn’t even been tempted or even thought about munching on crisps or biscuits!! I always felt full & content.  I was just eating when I felt hungry rather than stuff myself because I was bored.

After a week I decided to weigh myself, and what a shock I’d got to find that I’d lost 5lbs!!! Amazing, I couldn’t believe it!! This in itself was enough to prove that they’d worked; it spurred me on to loose weight and start setting myself realistic goals and treats for reaching each goal along the way.  NowSlim tablets kept me going all the way through, I was never hungry, never tired, it was great!! As months went past the weight just fell off, I noticed my knees started to get better and my back also so I was able to get a better nights sleep, I was gaining confidence as I could buy nicer clothes and I was spending more active time with my children.

As summer came I was even more determined to get back in shape so I decided to buy my own treadmill and cross trainer!! Have my own gym at home, this was also mainly for toning and health benefits and plus I didn’t need childcare!!!

Since then more weight came off and I noticed that all the clothes in my wardrobe didn’t fit!! That was a good excuse for me to treat myself!! It was the first time I’d took notice of myself properly since having my children!! The weight had come off so fast that I didn’t have time to treat myself for each goal, as the weight loss was so massive!! I never dreamt of losing so much weight, I didn’t think I’d ever get that far but I did.  It’s been 2 years now and I’ve managed to loose nearly 5 stones, which is amazing.  I could never ever have done it without NowSlim and here I am a size 10-12, much healthier, active and happy!!!  Losing weight has encouraged me to become a Health Related Fitness Instructor, a sports coach & volunteer and soon to start coaching cheerleading again at master’s level!! I’ve also worked up enough confidence to pass my driving test!!!

When I look back at how I felt when I was at my biggest, I never ever would have imagined getting this far or feeling the way I feel now.  What’s great about NowSlim is it’s affordable, herbal, vegetarian and it really works, you don’t have to starve yourself and workout for hours a day, it’s great.  Healthy eating and sensible exercise along with NowSlim has helped me keep the weight off whilst allowing myself sweet treats, as I’m a fan of chocolate and savoury food also!!

It’s great when I haven’t seen people for a while and all the compliments I get because of the weight loss!!! They can’t believe the difference!!!

I’m now looking forward to making the most of my health and energy & achieving all the goals I’ve planned for the future, all of which I never thought I’d achieve before discovering NowSlim. It’s truly amazing!!!
