GEM Magazine - Birmingham & Solihull - January 2017

في هذه القضية

Happy New Year to all our GEM readers! In this issue we catch up with Kara Tointon pages six and seven. As most of you know, last year I undertook a rather significant and very public weight loss journey with you, our readers, starting in February 2016. I lost 3.5 stones thanks to Court House Clinic’s Alevere programme.

I have to say that is has been very easy to buy clothes. I normally shop at Classy Rags in Bearwood purely because I secretly despise shopping, and this goes for food shopping too. I find it a rather tedious task but Helen and her team at Classy Rags make it an absolute pleasure to shop. So when I was looking for various outfi ts to wear at the many year-end functions, I did not have to settle for a certain rail. As a size 10, everything looks good on you.

I have managed to keep the weight off six months on and am revelling in my new-found appreciation of all things green and protein. Th e weight loss was without any exercise so, as my new year’s resolution, I would really like to do some gentle exercise.

Happy Reading!
