"I did the Special K 2 week kick start plan about 6 months before I got married as I was a little bit overweight and also quite unfit..."

I did the Special K 2 week kick start about 6 months before I got married as I was a little bit overweight and also quite unfit. It was early Spring and the weather was nice so I also started walking to work and signed up for the Race for Life that June - having that as a fitness goal was a real incentive. I normally rush out in the morning, skip breakfast, have a sandwich for lunch and then a big supper (with lots of chocolate in between!) so as soon as I started my plan I had to start to make a bit more 'me' time in the mornings. I like the normal kind of Special K but found that Special K Sustain really helped me avoid the mid-morning munchies. I always get hungry mid-afternoon but just had a piece of fruit instead of anything from the vending machine!

At the end of the two weeks I really did notice a difference around my waist especially which made me really motivated to carry on eating healthily - especially as I had really enjoyed being a bit healthier. I kept up the healthy eating through the summer and by my wedding in September I was looking exactly as I had wanted to. I really love how I look in the photos and have vowed to in shape now forever!

To anyone else I'd say, give it a go but give yourself lots of time afterwards to make bigger changes. I'd also really suggest doing some exercise but make sure you really enjoy it - if you don't then you won't keep it up and that can mean you're tempted to give up eating healthily too.
