'I'm not an educated person, I'm not a doctor or a dietician. I'm just a mum with a dream and I made my dream come true.'

Young Melbourne wife and mother Karen Gatt was once so overweight, a whopping 136 kilos, that she could barely walk to the letterbox. Simple things like playing with her kids in the local park or buying a pair of jeans were out of her reach - the joys of living in a 'normal' world she never thought she would be a part of. She tried every diet she'd ever heard of, but none of them worked.

Then she decided to take matters into her own hands. She shed sixty-seven kilos, safely and sensibly, without the trouble and expense of going on special diets or joining weight loss programs. She simply devised an easy-to-follow, highly effective system for healthy eating, and began regular exercise - power walking around the clothesline in her backyard!

Now Karen tells her incredible story in full for the first time: of her long struggles with obesity and self-esteem and exactly how she won her lifelong battle with being overweight. The Clothesline Diet is the inspirational and practical tool for everyone who wants to lose weight and keep it off, without gimmicks or fad diets.
