Flight embarrassment spurs staggering 11 stone weight loss

After terrible embarrassment on a holiday flight where she couldn’t fit into her seat, Devon woman Claire Coles has lost an amazing 11 stone and 9 dress sizes.

“I couldn’t fit into the seat, and after the embarrassment of asking for a seat belt extender, it was still a very tight fit, my legs were pinched and I couldn't even lower the tray, it was very uncomfortable. I was so embarrassed and unhappy, I just wanted the floor to open up and swallow me, I spent the five hours of the flight in tears," Claire said.

It was looking at holiday pictures when Claire returned home that she realised over time just how out of hand her weight had got. She knew that she needed to do something about her weight before it was too late.

Claire had heard how successful other slimmers had been on the Cambridge Weight Plan and decided to give it go.

The Cambridge Weight Plan is a series of flexible eating programmes, ranging from 440kcal to 1500kcal a day. They’re nutritionally balanced and with the support of a Cambridge Consultant to help you achieve your weight loss goal.

“The plan was simple to follow, and had a variety of different options making it flexible around my life. I had the support and encouragement of a great Cambridge Consultant, who weighed and measured me, so I knew I was on track.”

After losing a staggering 11 stone and 20 inches off her waist, Claire has transformed from a tight size 28 to a size 10. With her new trim figure Claire’s last flight was a very different experience.

Claire said: “There was so much more room around me, I was so happy - grinning from ear to ear. Not only was I able to get the seatbelt around me, there was loads of room to spare. I remember like it was yesterday just how embarrassed and sad I felt on the last flight. Makes me proud of what I have achieved and excited about all the new experiences I will have now I slim and healthy.

From her office in Exeter, Claire is now using her experience and knowledge to help others in Devon and Somerset who, like her, want to do something about their weight.

“After transforming my own life, to be able to help others transform their lives is so rewarding. Having a helping hand from someone who is on your side and knows how you feel is so important.”
