How to lose weight safely Comments Off on Stanway mum lost more than half her body weight thanks to Slimming World – Gazette

A SUPER slimmer who has lost more than half her body weight has become one of a select few to pick up a special award.

Caroline Smith, 50, has lost 12 and-a-half stone making her one of a select few to win Slimming Worlds Club 50 Award.

The awards celebrate members who have lost 50 per cent of their body weight and was created celebrate the firms 50th birthday.

The mother-of-two said: Ive been overweight for 30 years of my life. Im so proud and happy to win this award, especially in such a monumental year for Slimming World.

I feel like a new woman since losing weight. I look so different people who I havent seen for a while often cant believe Im the same person.

For me though its the change on the inside thats been the greatest. Im happier, healthier and much more confident now.

My weight impacted on so many aspects of my life, from struggling to find clothes that I like to fit, to not being able to do simple everyday tasks without feeling tired and out of breath.

Before I lost weight, I hated having my photo taken and whenever I saw pictures of myself, I didnt feel like my smile was real yet now Im beaming.

The Stanway residents weight loss journey started back in January 2017, when she joined the St Cedds Shrub End Slimming World group in Colchester, which is run by coach Paul Gibbs.

At the time she weighed 24 stone and 12 pounds, today weighing less than half that at 12 stone five pounds.

She says walking through the door to her first meeting was one of the hardest things Ive ever done.

Since then Ive made so many friends at the group and I honestly dont think I could have done it without their support each week, Caroline said.

They helped me with recipes and tips and if I was ever struggling, they were always there to build me up and remind me why Id wanted to lose weight in the first place and how far Id come since first stepping through the doors.

I still enjoy all my favourite meals like burgers and chips and roast dinners, but Ive learned how to make small changes like using lean meat or cooking with low calorie spray instead of oil or butter.

It fits in so well with the rest of my family and we can all eat the same meals.

I know that I havent gone on a diet, this is a change that Ive made for life and I have the tools I need to stay like this forever. My smile is definitely real now.

Mr Gibbs added: The changes weve seen in Caroline are incredible.

I hope her success will inspire other people whod like to lose weight by forming new lifestyle habits and as a result, become happier and healthier to come and join us.

Theres a warm welcome waiting at Slimming World and, just think, if you start today you could soon feel like a completely new person, just like Caroline.
