Welcome to my website!

My story spans 20+ years and over 2 countries. This was me in 1992 a few months after the birth of my second child. I didn’t really have much of an idea of how I looked and with 2 children under the age of 2, I was more interested in feeding, changing and just getting through the day!

Looking back I have consistently yo-yo dieted, the first time was for my 21^st birthday party when I bought a beautiful skin tight dress – size 12! And my mother exclaimed that I would never get into it! I proved her wrong – in the worst possible way – by eating only a Pizza Hut salad every day and yes, I did get into the dress. I guess I must have been a size 14 – 16 at the time!

Then I tried weight watchers a couple of years later after my boyfriend made comments about my squashy tummy and even made me do sit ups before leaving on a holiday! (yes I did get rid of him, but not before my self esteem took a battering!)

Then I went through a stage of dancing 3 times a week and only drinking orange juice and eating odd foods! Seemed normal at the time but looking back on it now, I know it was daft! I was rather trim then and landed a husband (my first who is the father of my children)

After the kids arrived I was living in Hartlepool, North of the UK and it is very cold there – continuously. My sister-in-law was loosing loads of weight and had tons of energy, so I asked her what she was doing. She was getting diet pills from a doctor in Middlesborough and I got his number. Again, looking back it was dangerous and daft to take them, amphetamines I guess, and yes I lost weight, but after a month or so I was so jittery I could not bear to take them any more.

And so the weight piled on and off over the years. I steadied at a size 14 to 16 – no real idea of weight as I felt it best to stay off the scales!

I hated the way I looked – unable to get into the clothes I wanted. My husband encouraged me gently with an offer of 200 pounds for a new wardrobe when I told him I found a dress I loved, and I managed to go back to weight watchers and lost the weight. The dress, size 14 fitted beautifully and showed off my curves, so imagine my horror when a year later I put it on for a night out and looked like an overstuffed sausage in it!

In Feb 1995, we left for Spain. Oh what bliss to live here. A year later we decided to return for a visit to the UK. I had my hair done, and made sure the tan was deep but knew I wanted to look stunning to silence all the critics, so I looked through the local paper and saw an ad from Patricia for Herbalife. Now, I had heard of the product – who hasn’t?- but didn’t know anything about it. I called her and we met. She advised a programme for me and I stuck religiously to it.

Surprise, surprise - not, I lost weight, but a bonus was that my shape also changed! And my goodness the energy levels were incredible.

After the UK trip I came back and a previous health problem flared up. I had had chronic Sinusitis, both nasal passages were filled with gunk! In the UK I had been diagnosed asthmatic, allergic and everything but when I told my doctor I couldn’t smell my sons dirty nappies, finally I saw a specialist (after 2 years waiting of course!) He took an x-ray and saw the blockage. I had an operation but it didn’t work, so I gave up on it. The sun did seem to ease the symptoms, but talking with a constantly stuffed up nose, which also rubs continuously got me down.

At the time I was working as a children’s entertainer so was in the public domain as well and couldn’t hide away.

Patricia in one of her follow up calls caught me at a bad time and I spilled out my upset to her. Her response was incredible. She told me Herbalife would repair the bad cells in me and then those stronger cells would be the ones renewing themselves, not the degenerating ones.  She advised me strongly to take the product, the vitamin tablets and Guarana as this is a natural remedy for breathing problems. She advised me I HAD to take it for a minimum of 3 months – at that point I hesitated and she hard me hesitate.

She then said if I could not afford it, to pay her what I could when I could, and that clinched it for me. For someone to be so adamant about their product to give it to me like that, made me determined to take it.

I did and I am so grateful I did. My breathing problems cleared up within a week. The weight again fell off and my energy levels went through the roof.

Over the years I thought I could ‘beat’ Herbalife and would go onto my own eating plans. I know the food groups and can plan diets, but my work commitments often got in the way. I would end up rushing around then be starving hungry with a headache and no energy around 4pm! So, off to the nearest shop or petrol station for a packet of crisps or bar of chocolate – often both!

And so the weight would creep on, back I would go onto the products and off the weight would come.

I loved the way I didn’t lose masses of weight around the breast area as well, so no aging bits!

It really helped when I was away at the shows too, plenty of energy and kept me going – often most of the night as well – but that IS another story!!

More recently I have gone through a very stressful time, work has got a lot harder, debts are mounting, I have had a marriage breakdown, 2 home moves, 2 office moves and my ex-business partner leaving me alone – all in a 6 month period! Lots of changes and uncertainties and then I was struck with health problems! Breast pain made me go to the doctors and a long story short, I have a lump in my breast, possibly benign but they are keeping an eye on it, and cancerous cells near my cervix!

Looking up information on the internet – as doctors don’t give you much here, I realized the main 2 areas which were depressing my immune system and therefore allowing these cells in to multiply and try to take over my body, was stress and the other nutrition!

Immediately I stepped up my Herbalife and took a couple of their targeted nutrition products too AND decided to change my life. I only have one and I want to enjoy it and live healthily!

So I decided to become a weight management and wellness consultant. A long title I know but its using all the years of experience I personally have had in order to help others in the same way

I have started these clubs and I distribute Herbalife

Its early days yet but I am really enjoying it and this other photograph of me and the tree – well that was taken in august 2007 for my fiancé – its something I have always wanted to do and never got around to due to lack of confidence. I had a whale of a time in the woods with a fabulous female photographer and this is one of 300 pictures that were taken in various stages of dress!

So summing up, these products are fabulous. They do work and I am living proof of it.

If you too want to make that change, please, please, PLEASE contact me by email or call on (0034) 661 390 750

I look forward to helping YOU make that change!
