Excess weight I have struggled with my weight since I was 16. Finally decided to take action and found Hermes online. My contact was a lovely Turkish girl who spoke perfect English. I convinced my sister to come along. They didn’t even charge extra for the double room at the hotel. I’ve lost about 18 kg and continue to lose weight until stabilization. Still a long way to go, can’t wait to post a bikini photo on Instagram... Thank you so much!
