Episode 51 Lindsey Duffy shares the challenges she recognised post weight loss realising the weight loss had gone too far.

Lindsey felt uncomfortable in her size 14/16 clothes and rather than join a local weight loss group Lindsey joined several online forums who followed the Slimming World plan.

Lindsey suffers from anxiety and the very thought of walking into a local weight loss group was simply terrifying. Success was on the horizon for Lindsey who was able to lose her excess weight and reach her goal weight-reducing her dress size from a U.K size 14/16  to 8. Lindsey found herself asking what next!? The weight had come off, she was happy with the number of the scales so now what?

For Lindsey attending a gym was another big no-no but she was able to push back negative thoughts and start attending a gym that held classes too. This would be Lindsey's new goal, a toned body.

Lindsey loved the gym, the feeling of accomplishment after a workout gave Lindsey a great buzz and really helped her manage her anxiety.

At this point, Lindsey's obsession with her body became more clear as the scales reduced further as Lindsey recalls looking neither fit nor healthy. The challenge came in increasing the number on the scales, this felt quite alien at first but over time Lindsey was able to increase the number on the scales and focus on looking after her new lean shape with the help of healthy food and a sensible workout schedule.
