Slimmer in the Spotlight: Emma B

Slimmer in the Spotlight gets to the bottom of weight loss, by speaking to real slimmers about what motivates and inspires them. This time we hear from Emma, and find out what losing weight will mean to her.

Emma is 35 and from Gloucester. She is currently on sabbatical from being Head of department teaching Sociology. Emma has three children, aged 11, seven and two.

My favourite film of all time is…….TopGun. Yes I am an 80's child through and through!

If I could go on holiday anywhere in the world………….I would love to take the children on safari in Kenya – to give them the chance to see those beautiful animals up close.

If I won the lottery…………I would not go back to work and would pay off mortgages for all my family, then set up a youth project for teenagers as they get such bad press and don't deserve it.

If I were any animal……..I’d be something a bit ferocious as that’s not in my personality.

My weight loss goal….is to lose about two stone

I started putting on weight……..over time, since having children and getting into bad habits.

My reason for wanting to lose weight…is to feel better about myself and also to enjoy clothes more. I'm not massive but I am not comfortable. I want to look better.

My top tip for other slimmers…….is to set mini goal - like this week I'm planning to do an exercise DVD three times

My favourite foods….is prawns. Thankfully they are good in moderation!

My favourite recipe is ….pasta prawns

My favourite Slimavite flavour shake……..is Chocolate
If I could create my own flavour shake……….it would be Banana
Reaching my weight loss goals would mean…..so much. I want to look stunning and also feel amazing.

My 'danger' times?...are always mid afternoon, I have to work at distracting myself.

For exercise…I am about to start. Oh and I walk everywhere with my youngest as she is currently in a hip spica cast disabled, so we walk to get out of the house!

My one message to others who want to lose weight is….Start now - not tomorrow, now!
