I buy it every month in group. I do love reading it, it picks me up.
I'm in the middle of a big journey, I have another 3st to go and reading the big weight loss stories is great. I find it hard to relate to the 1st loss stories, yes it's amazing for the person who's lost that stone to lose it and keep it off but I can't empathise.
Now the big stories....Zelda springs to mind, she has turned her life around and it's awe inspiring and that story has the potential to save lives, for those people who are house bound and desperate just to read her triumph could get them inspired enough to believe in their own journey.
Plus I do love the wow factor of the before and after pics.
Not to take away from the people who have smaller journeys, it's important to acknowledge the impact that any weight issue can have on someone no matter what their size. It all comes down to eating healthily and living well no matter what our size.
I would like to see more men in the magazine because we do get men coming into group but they never seem to stay long, it would be nice for them to see it more as the norm for them to be involved.
