Dear Gillian,

I have just watched for the first time – where you move in with the people that youare helping to re-organise their eating habits, I have sat with a huge smile on my face and nearly cried at the end at how well the two “fatties” have done. One was the mum from Scotland and the Vicar from ??? – you are an amazing person and bring home the concept of healthy eating.

I live in Dubai and watch programmes similar to yours, but I have to say you have got the perfect way with these people. Please pass on to these people that looking at them at the end of the programme to what they were is so wonderful. They looked healthy and glowing and such a positive way of life.

I was 80.4kgs at 5’9 and was completely disgusted with myself. I am not 69kgs and doing the exercise such as belly dancing and walking in the cooler weather and swimming. I eat as a vegetarian, which for me at one point was sad because here in Dubai the first few years of being here was very difficult and I ended up eating crisps and savouries.

Now there are more healthy options and it is fantastic living here for the food. I thank you and your team for doing these programmes as it makes me realise that I need to keep up with my exercise regime and healthy eating.

Kindest regards,

Karen
