“When I went through , I literally lost my waist, and I hated it,” Michelle McPherson, 60, shared with Express.co.uk.
“I asked my GP if she thought I’d ever get my waist back,” Michelle remembered back. “And, to my horror, she said no!”
The personal assistant from Romford, Essex, found herself growing so large that she “couldn’t even bend over” to do up her own shoe laces.
“Over the years, I felt like I’d tried everything for ; however, nothing worked for me long-term.”
Fed up and feeling defeated, Michelle grew larger and larger, and “ended up being a dress size 18, verging on a size 20”.

A health check-up at the doctor’s clinic was a wake-up call – Michelle’s health was suffering. She had suffered from a hiatus hernia, acid reflux and had now fallen into the pre-diabetic range.
“I decided I needed to take drastic action,” Michelle said, feeling a newfound sense of conviction. In looking up weight loss plans, Michelle came across the late Dr , who she recognised from TV.
Dr Moseley’s programme seemingly had the answers that Michelle was looking for – and so she signed up for the free seven-day trial. “I was quite excited,” Michelle said about staring weight loss programme.
At the start of each day, Michelle would log into her account on the website to complete a workout before work.

“Every day is different; some days I’m there with Pascal doing resistance training, some days with Lucy doing HIIT or with Chrissy doing Pilates – I love it!” Michelle beamed.
“I actually look forward to seeing them in the morning now,” she confessed, adding that the online community of members helped her to stay motivated.
Her new diet, guided by The Fast 800 programme, also improved Michelle’s energy levels. “While I joined the programme to tackle my weight, I didn’t ever expect this amazingly positive side effect of such increased energy,” Michelle added.
“Other benefits I could never have predicted were the improvement on my hair, my skin and my nails.”
Since joining , Michelle has lost over three-and-a-half stone, her health has drastically improved, and she’s glad to say, smugly: “I did get my waist back.”
