A Burnham-On-Sea woman has lost over seven stone in weight by taking part in Slimming World sessions in the town.
Jodie joined the weekly Thursday sessions of Slimming World, held at the Baptist Church in College Street, and has lost 7 stone, 5lb in 40 weeks.
She says: “I decided to join Slimming World after having my son and heard people saying they didn’t recognise me due to how much weight I’d gained through pregnancy.”
“My GP had also warned me that I had a fatty liver. I joined on a Thursday evening with a friend and found the group very friendly and supportive.”
“I felt really motivated by the inspirational members in group – I knew I wasn’t on my own and with the support from Hayley, my consultant, I knew I could achieve my goals.”
“I had lots of support from friends and family and I couldn’t believe how much food you could still eat on the Slimming World food optimising plan, unlimited amounts of ‘free’ foods. It’s a great feeling, feeling full and losing weight.”
“Slimming World has been a lifestyle change for me with great health benefits as I don’t get out of breath, have less aches in my legs, feel more confident and my liver is now normal.”
“I now go to the gym and my confidence has grown – I feel so much better in myself. I’m so happy, I’ve lost 7 stone 5 lb in 40 weeks. I’m hoping that my story will help change other people’s lives.”
The Thursday evening sessions are held at The Baptist Church in College Street, Burnham-On-Sea at 5.15pm when all are welcome.
