She was worried she would have to ditch all her favourite foods.
"I also thought I would be hungry all of the time," Janice added.
"What I found was that, actually I could eat more than I’d even eaten, I never have to go hungry and the food that I have discovered is delicious. I formed new healthy habits and even changed my relationship with food."

“Being with like-minded people who just ‘get it’ has been amazing," said Janice.
"The support, the ideas and the inspiration have all been invaluable.”
The super slimmer went on to lose more than five stone and has found a new lease of life, adding: “I am fitter than I’ve ever been. I love to go for walks and I even run now! Shopping is enjoyable, I have so much choice, as now I can choose clothes that I love, rather than just what will fit."
