Speaking about her size before, Leanne, a PA, said: “I look at that picture now, and I know it’s real, but I never remember.

Because you see yourself every day, you never realise how much weight you’re putting on.”

So how did Leanne lose the weight? Keen to shed the pounds in a sustainable way, she turned to UP Fitness, www.upfitness.co.uk, to help her achieve her goals.

And Leanne says committing the training plan they organised for her was easy.

She revealed: “The last 12 weeks have been the easiest 12 weeks of my life – 100 per cent – because everything’s written out for you.

“I’ve lost weight every single week, and I’m still losing weight now, which I didn’t expect to happen.

“I think I lost just over a kilo last week and again that’s not a massive amount but when you’re also toning up and building muscle, to still be losing weight I was shocked that I didn’t expect it to happen, but it did.”

As well as training in the gym, UP Fitness overhauled Leanne’s diet, moving her away from the low-fat meals she had been eating.

She explained: “There’s all the information about low-fat diets, but my trainer put me on a high-fat diet when I started, and I thought ‘you people are crazy.’

“I get it, and I understood it, but it’s almost like these guys know something that the rest of the world doesn’t. That’s how it feels.

“Then you come here and instantly you’re having steak for breakfast. It’s genius, and it works.”

Leanne had thought her lifestyle before had been healthy, and said: “My lifestyle before UP I’ve always considered myself to be relatively healthy.

“Since then, I’ve realised that cereal for lunch and rice cakes to snack on and apples as a snack are probably the worst things I could have been eating, for me anyway.

“The first thing I was told was cut out carbs and cut out sugar. As I say, everyone is different, and that’s not for everybody, but that’s what I needed.

“I’ve been going to the gym three times a week for 10 years, and there’s a reason I’ve been doing that and not seeing the results, but now coming here and I’m in the best shape of my life after 12 weeks. I expected to get that from it and that was my expectation, and it happened.”

And now Leanne has said she expects to keep the weight off for good, and revealed: “This is me now. This is not extra stress, pressure or a chore. It’s just very much moving forward I’ll go to the gym in the mornings.

“I’ll know more about different foods what I should be eating. I’m more educated to look at a menu and know to make those smart choices.

“This has changed the way I look at food and exercise, and that will continue now for the rest of my life.”
