Scots super slimmer to get life-changing surgery after shedding seven stones
Food Optimising has now become part of every day life for Sandra who loves being able to shop, cook and eat healthier at home. A super slimmer who transformed her health has told of her joy at now being able to have life-changing surgery after losing more than seven stones. Sandra Rennie joined her local Slimming World group in East Kilbride after struggling with other ways to lose weight. She needed knee replacement surgery but was told her Body Mass Index (BMI) was too high to safely go ahead with the operation. Food Optimising has now become part of every day life for Sandra who loves being able to shop, cook and eat healthier at home. Sandra said: "I have achieved so much more than I ever thought I could and I am now only a few pounds away from my dream weight. I joined my local group in Westwood as I need a knee replacement and at a hospital appointment recently I was told that I am now in an acceptable range with my BMI for my operation." The Food Optimising plan encourages members to eat lots of tasty, filling foods like pasta, rice, potatoes and lean meat and fish, so they are never hungry and no foods are banned so there's no deprivation. Sandra added: "I love Food Optimising! It's become part of everyday life for me. I love being able to shop, cook and eat healthier at home and soup is definitely my favourite go-to quick meal. "Since joining Slimming World my days are filled with healthy nutritious meals that fill me up and give me plenty energy. Both of us at home love following the Food Optimising plan and I have support 100 per cent from my family to make the changes necessary to be a happier healthier me.' Slimming World isn't just about changing what you eat. Becoming more active is important too. Slimming World's Body Magic programme takes the threat out of activity by showing people how they can build activity into their daily routine without having to take up traditional forms of exercise like going to the gym or running. Sandra has went from having no energy to now keeping herself much more active. "Since losing weight, I can walk further without having to stop and catch my breath and I am now much more confident in my appearance which I wasn't before", she said. Slimming World, don't just celebrate the weight loss successes, they also celebrate every milestone. Sandra went on: "My biggest challenge to overcome was my mindset. I feel that if my head wasn't in the right place then it would be so easy to give up on myself. I am confident now that I have created new healthy habits for life that I won't go back to they way I was before as I have come too far. "I couldn't have achieved what I have without the support from Margaret and all the amazing people in group each week. I stay for group after weighing in every week which keeps me focused and motivated. I still learn new recipes and top tips and I know this will continue throughout my journey." Margaret Miller, who runs the Westwood Slimming World group, said: "I am so proud of Sandra as she has been committed to her weight loss journey. I've seen huge differences since Sandra has joined in her mobility and confidence. She is a different person now - knowing that when going on holiday she can make healthy choices and still enjoy herself." Margaret's Slimming World group is held at Our Lady of Lourdes, Canberra Drive, East Kilbride every Wednesday morning at 9.30am.
