Sharon Marshall is an entertainment journalist best known as the resident "Soap Guru" on ITV1's This Morning since 2003.

During her television career Sharon's weight has fluctuated constantly. Reaching a size 16 in 2006, due to her party girl lifestyle, Sharon appeared as a contestant on ITV's Celebrity Fit Club and dropped down to a size 12.

Following this, Sharon went on to run the 2007 London Marathon. However, Sharon admits that she found it hard to maintain this weight loss and regime, and her weight and dress size gradually crept up again. By March 2008 Sharon was signing herself up for the New You Boot Camp - a week of extreme exercise and dieting - after describing herself as 'an hourglass whose sand has run to her bottom'.

Having tried several dramatic diets in recent years, with varying degrees of short term success, Sharon feels that she has finally found a long term, healthy solution in the form of APPEsat™. In the space of 12 weeks, with a combination of healthy eating and a moderate exercise plan, Sharon used APPEsat™ to help her lose almost 2 stone, dropping from a dress size 16 to a svelte size 12.

"I have a naturally curvy figure and a healthy appetite for all kinds of delicious foods, but unfortunately sometimes I just don't know when to stop. In the past I have gone on really extreme crash diets, depriving myself and losing weight all too quickly, usually for all the wrong reasons. With such a hectic schedule and industry parties, I find diets impossible to maintain.

"I quickly get bored of feeling restricted and soon fall off the wagon. I have happily swapped Pilates for plates in restaurants with my girlfriends. I stopped running because it was cold outside. Wine consumption has grown to a bottle a day. I've seen my gym instructor once last yea - for coffee! I spend most of my day lying on the sofa watching TV for work or typing, so I decided that I needed something different that would help me make a permanent change.

"Traditionally I've shied away from slimming supplements but as APPEsat™ is completely natural I thought I would give it a go. There are no horrible side effects, the capsules are easy to swallow and it doesn't interfere with your metabolism. APPEsat™ just helps you have a better grip on your appetite and reduces the amount you eat without feeling deprived.

"I've lost weight at a healthy pace of one and half pounds a week, and for the first time I feel confident about keeping it off for good."
