Jennifer Ginley (26) z anglického Liverpoolu vážila 122 kíl a keď letela lietadlom, potrebovala predlžovač na bezpečnostný pás, lebo ten klasický ju neobčiahol. Jej stravovanie bolo mizerné. Žila na čipsoch, čokoláde, mastných fast foodových jedlách a presladených bublinkových nápojoch.

Jennifer priznala, že pri žiadnej diéte nevydržala. Keď ju jej priateľ, s ktorým bola už 11 rokov, požiadal o ruku, odmietla ho so slovami, že nechce byť tučná nevesta. Ako dieťa vraj nemala problém s hmotnosťou, no priberať začala na univerzite, keď bola mimo domu.

Prvýkrát sa vážne zamyslela nad svojou váhou, ktorá s jej vymkla spod kontroly, keď sa v roku 2015 chystala na letnú dovolenku na Floridu a musela si kupovať oblečenie veľkosti 54! Keď si potom pozerala fotky z dovolenky, bola zhrozená. Vedela, že niečo musí zmeniť, a to hneď!

Úžasné, čo v priebehu roka dokázala.

I started at a size 24/26 and was excited on that holiday as I was more 22/24. The picture on the right is me 1 month after hitting target! I had lost 9 stone 1.5 lb in one year and felt amazing!! I went on holiday with a case full of size 8 and 10 clothes and wore a bikini for the first time in years!! 😄 I've been proud of myself every single step of the way. I can't tell you how important I feel that aspect is. The whole world sees the effects of your weight loss and your nearest and dearest will be proud of you. Only YOU although will know the real change and feel the affects of it everyday as it's all in the mind. Become a stronger person everyday, a person you can be proud of. I've achieved many things in my life but without doubt this weight loss makes me more proud than all of that put together. When food is your thing, you weakness, your emotional crutch, whatever, it is hard to find a way out as everyone has to eat. At my lowest points I thought the only way to change was rule out food. I would calorie count to barely nothing, do slimfast, lighterlife and cambridge weight plan. As a student I spend so much money on horrid meal replacement plans. 😔 SW gave me back my life, it made my trust myself with real food and it made me know that I am truly capable of anything I put my mind too. It's not easy. I lost this weight naturally with only diet, no exercise. The old me told myself that weren't possible, the old me doubted these types of transformation pictures. Simply because it was another affirmation that I was still too weak, I was still unable to achieve the same. I joined SW four times, I've failed countless times, NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU! I never fully enjoyed anything before, my weight was always an issue holding me back. The happiness I live now is indescribable and it's all because I fight that old me everyday. It's not easy but it is possible. I always remember two things - it's only food, it's not magical AND willpower is like a muscle the more you use it, the stronger it gets. You CAN do it ❤</a>

Tušila, že sama to nezvládne, preto si vybrala profesionálny program na chudnutie, kde jej odborníci poradili, ako začať. Svoju premenu naštartovala kompletným prekopaním svojho jedálnička. Hotové jedlá z fast foodov a donášok vymenila za čerstvé, plnohodnotné a zdravé jedlo. Predtým nikdy neraňajkovala a sama si jedlo nepripravovala. Počas dňa v práci tak zjedla všetko, čo jej prišlo pod ruku. Toto sa zmenilo. Jennifer začala experimentovať v kuchyni a variť chutné a zdravé jedlá.

Jennifer začala jesť zdravo a jedlá si pripravuje sama.

I had a full week off plan, gained 5.5 lb, got straight back on plan when I got home and lost 5.5 lb the following week! 👌 Right is me NYE just gone, wearing my size 6 top from @riverisland and a size 8 skirt. It was the first year since I was 13/14 years old that I weren't going into the new year with the dreaded 'lose weight' task hanging over me! 😆 In all honestly I sometimes wondered if this would ever be my life, if I'd ever be capable to get slim and stay slim. I owe my whole life to @slimmingworld as it truly made me trust myself with food, it allowed me to conquer my food issues. Do not for a second think any of the target members had a straightforward run, that we had bucket loads of speed free food and amazing losses each week. I'd lost 1 stone in 4 weeks at that point in my before picture, I had never lost that much before, yet I still plated up 2/3 plates of beige food and 2 plates of desserts that week on holiday. Your food addiction, issues, whatever you want to call them don't disappear overnight. You have to be consistent and calm. I say calm as one week you may not get the weight loss you deserve and you might want to turn to your old friend, mega syn food for comfort, don't, I guarantee you, you will feel worse. You know what I literally used to say out loud to myself when faced with temptation?! For example - *sees pizza* 'oh my god, look at that, I love pizza but you know what I love more?! Losing weight'. I'd think of stepping on the scales and pizza became less attractive. It worked a treat, I had to remind my dramatic food loving self that it is only food! Pizza isn't going anywhere, I'll eat it again in the future but I had to learn every single time I seen or felt like pizza I couldn't have it. Developing a new mentality and strength is hard, it takes time but you are seriously doing the best thing ever. I was a notorious failure; normality, happiness, health and ultimately your weight loss dreams are possible with @slimmingworld 🌈 Remember willpower is like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it gets 🦋</a>

Obrovskú úspešnú premenu pripisuje Jennifer aj jej pozitívnemu naladeniu. Po tom, čo videla prvý úbytok na váhe si uvedomila, že nad svojím telom môže mať kontrolu. Začala si veriť a meniť sa nielen fyzicky, ale aj psychicky. Jedlá, ktoré denne jedla, dávala aj na Instagram, kde si získala veľa fanúšikov a obrovskú podporu. To ju utvrdilo v tom, že už to nesmie vzdať. Dnes má 75 000 fanúšikov a konfekčnú veľkosť 38.

Jennifer schudla 61 kíl v priebehu roka a dokázala, že nič nie je nemožné. Pred Vianocami odpovedala ÁNO na žiadosť svojho priateľa o ruku. Už nemusela váhať. Teraz sa nevie dočkať výberu svadobných šiat. V marci sa objaví na obálke časopisu Slimming World Magazine. „Cítim sa ako motýľ, ktorý práve vyletel zo svojej kukly,“ uzatvára šťastná Jennifer.

I remember taking that picture as sort of 'before', just to remember those days when I decided to rejoin. I felt embarrassed going back and rejoining heavier than ever but aren't I glad I did?! I was so fed up of wasting my life overweight. Well done to you January joiners, I didn't join until May, I failed a few more diets, tried SW from home and comfort ate for another four months after New Year! We all have those moments where we have to go THAT IS ENOUGH. If you have reached that point, never forget it because it will fuel you on when you have difficult days. I do it even now!! When I'm tempted by something that will take me off plan for no good reason I say to myself 'Jennifer don't you think you've had enough of *insert bad food* in your time?!'. I need that type of mental reasoning. It's not depriving myself, it's knowing when indulging is worth it for my own mentality. I NEVER want to feel out of control ever again and I simply won't let food ruin me the way it used too, I always have that little voice inside my head that reminds me 'it's only food Jen'. 👊😊 One thing I really hate (and I hate that word) is when assumptions are made that you're not enjoying yourself if you're not indulging in food. For example eating out and food optimising your way through it. OF COURSE you are enjoying yourself, you're with friends/family and fulfilling your hungers needs with delicious food. Do you need that 45 syn dessert to go home and know you've enjoyed yourself?! NO! Don't let anyone place their 'enjoying yourself' models onto you! Especially a naturally slim person who has never had food issues. Maybe they can go into a restaurant and order a 3 course mega syn meal and come out physically and mentally unscathed. I can without doubt do that now at at target (or in weight loss mode on special occasions) BUT it is difficult mentally to do that in weight loss mode without doing any damage. YOU CAN ENJOY your life whilst gaining control and health, and achieving you dreams with SW 💫💓</a>

After that picture on the left was taken in January 2015 it took me four more months of comfort eating and trying to 'diet' before walking through the doors of my @slimmingworld class. If you scroll down my page I've wrote about different parts of my journey under each transformation picture. 💙 My journey in a nutshell - I'm 5 foot 5 ", without exercise I lost 9 stone 1.5 lb in one year, I went on to lose a little more in the following couple of months and my overall loss is currently 9 stone 11 lb. I went from a size 24/26 to and 8/10 in one year purely with food optimising 💫 I want to give you all a little warning that I wish I'd of had - do NOT compare yourself to anyone. Especially if you are following SW instagrams for guidance and inspiration, even more so if you're new to SW. Do NOT compare your food intake to target members who have changed their relationship with food, and are smaller so have different nutritional needs! I posted EVERY single thing I ate from joining for 18 months (May 15 - Nov 16). If you scroll back you'll see that after weigh in I'd have a high syn treat for the first couple of months and I ate lots more food. Your needs change and your intake adapts. When you start don't look at extra easy SP, don't reduce your intake when you remain hungry, if you want a huge bowl of pasta, a huge jacket potato or 15 syns a day have them!! Don't worry that others aren't eating the same way. TRUST the plan and adapt it to your own needs. Food optimising is bloody brilliant, the free food, unlimited concept is revolutionary for us food lovers. Just do as it asks and fill yourself up of speed free foods first. With a big bowl or pasta have lots of veggies/salad; same with any other meal. @slimmingworld turned me (a notorious weight loss failure) into a person who trusted themselves with food and it gave me a new healthy relationship with food. Take it one day at a time and remember WILLPOWER IS LIKE A MUSCLE, THE MORE YOU USE IT THE STRONGER IT GETS 💫💪 I know you can do it!! 😏❤</a>

I thought I would kick it off with a #transformationpicture ❤️ Left - a couple of years ago on Christmas Eve 😟 Right - last Sunday 😊 Size 24/26 to an 8/10 all in one year. I have finally DONE it. It was literally the battle of my life. I could never understand why food controlled me! Why could I not refuse it or change?! My mentality let me down. I lived years of the viscous cycle; extreme diet or alllll the food. 😥 14 GCSE's, 5 A A level's, a joint honours law degree, a successful career - NO problem! Control what I put in my gob - THE problem of my life. It seemed absolutely impossible and was literally my destroyer. At 25 years old I knew I had to change or I would spent the rest of my life overweight. It brought me to tears too often. I wasn't depressed, I had a great life otherwise, when alone or looking in the mirror I just genuinely thought why? Why am I doing this to myself?! It is ONLY food. But it's not only food when you're basically addicted, when you're so mentally and emotionally reliant on food, when you think bad food makes you feel good. Now I know it IS only food, it's not magic. That took A LOT of work to believe that. If you LOVE food you'll always have those little mental battles. You CAN change and win those battles the majority of your days. ❤️ I hate when slim people say it's simple; eat less, move more, 3 healthy meals a day blahblah. That is SO patronising and frustrating. Completely rewiring your mind and changing your habits is the furthest from simple you can get. I joined @slimmingworld for the FOURTH time 6 stone heavier than the 1st time I joined. I was embarrassed, upset, frustrated but also motivated. Time doesn't wait for nobody. Procrastination has no place in your life regarding your health and happiness. You won't see the end for a very long time. Did I join last May and think I'd be a size 8 and weigh half my start weight?! NO! That would have sounded like nonsense to the old me. I promise you with all my heart you are capable, fight the old you in your mind every single day, make new habits. Your dream life is waiting for you. Remember willpower is like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it gets ❣</a>

A few pounds away from my heaviest weight, four months before joining @slimmingworld 😞 Right - August 2016 feeling so comfortable and happy in my own skin, confident ahead of walking down the aisle as my best friend's bridesmaid 👸 🔹 The physical change feels crazy, I sometimes double take at my own reflection, my mind still hasn't caught up! BUT the biggest change is my MIND! I now actually believe myself when I say 'I will.....'. I've never been so proud of myself, I could literally write a book on my weight loss attempts. I got to the point where food had to be ruled out, in my mind that was the only logic, I had no control!! What do you think I done after Cambridge weight plan, lighterlife and celebrity slim? Binged and gained more weight! THAT is not normality and it was reinforcing my belief that I had NO control. Forget DIETS, join SW and food optimise your way to a strong mind and health boy! 💫 🔹 SW is a revelation and it made me trust myself with food. There were times I genuinely thought I'd never be capable, I hated my false promises of starting a diet every Monday, much more than I hated how I looked. 😥 🔹 Plus I spent one year socialising all whilst gaining this new me! I didn't become happy once I reached target, I became happier with every single day of my journey. It doesn't happen overnight, it takes time to go from self destruction mode to WILLPOWER of steel but you CAN DO IT! Seriously if you knew the old me you'd believe me when I told you if I can anyone can. I'm 5 foot 5, I was 19 stone 4 lb, I'm now HALF that (9 stone 9 lb!) and got here without exercising. Find me a better food plan that food optimising?! I think you'll find yourself unable. HAPPY TUESDAY BEAUTIFUL HUMANS! Have a GREAT day on plan, flex that will power and go to bed proud of yourself ❣️ 🔹 #slimmingworld#slimmingworlduk#iloveslimmingworld#slimmingworldinsta#foodoptimising#slimmingworldfollowers#slimmingworldtarget#targetmember#swtargetmember#slimmingworldtargetmember#weightloss#weightlossjourney#beforeandafter#weightlosstransformation</a>
