ANNE Brewer should have been so excited about marrying her fianc, Sam. But her dream wedding dress turned out to be a nightmare.

I hated what I saw when I saw my reflection in the mirror, says Anne. My size 20 figure was spilling out, but I felt I had no option and bought the dress anyway.

A few days later I paid a visit to my doctor. I had been suffering from headaches and I was feeling tired all the time, so he did some blood tests. When the results came back, I was asked to go in immediately. They told me I had a fatty liver. I didnt drink very much alcohol so I couldnt understand, I was stunned.

The doctor went on to tell me that it was down to me being overweight. It was the wake-up call I needed. As a busy lawyer, I had been neglecting my health for far too long.

The following day, Anne, 27, joined Sarah Greenwoods Slimming World group in Silsden.

I was so nervous on my first night, she said. When I stepped on the scales, I weighed 15stone 10lb and at 5ft 2in, I felt like I was the biggest person in the room. The whole group made me feel at ease and I quickly felt supported. Sarah reassured me that losing weight wasnt going to happen overnight, she told me that it wasnt necessary to follow a restrictive regime or cut out food groups or embark on a very low-calorie diet to see significant results. She said filling-up on my favourite satisfying meals, cooked in a healthier, nutritious way would give me the results I wanted.

The first week didnt go well, but the next time she stepped on the scales shed lost 6lb.

My eating habits have now completely changed, she said. My job was so full on, so I regularly skipped breakfast and had a milky latte. I ate crisps and sandwiches for lunch and when I got home at night, tired after a long day, I would reach for my phone to order a takeaway or throw a ready-made curry or pasta dish in to the microwave. I would very rarely eat fruit and vegetables, I snacked on crisps and chocolate.

Now Ive ditched the microwave meals and I make healthier versions of cottage pie and lasagne from scratch. I love overnight oats for breakfast, soups and salads for lunches, and my trolley is filled with fruit and vegetables. My shopping bills were decreasing at the same time as my waistline, which was even better.

Sarah said she was delighted for Anne.

She added: Anne is a true inspiration, her determination has paid off and she has done amazingly well. When we went into lockdown in March 2020, I was so worried that many of my members would feel they couldnt continue lots of hurdles were getting in their way however everyone at Slimming World quickly got us up and running on a virtual platform so we could still support our members through the pandemic.

We know that group support is pivotal in our members success and without it I dont know what we would have done. I felt so lucky to be able to continue the role I love. Annes determination meant she could continue to lose weight through these tough times and that is what she did, along with many others.

Anne said: As the UK went into lockdown, I weighed 13st 4.5lb and when our dream wedding was cancelled (due to the pandemic), Sam and I were devastated. We made the decision to move the wedding to this year, that was the motivation I needed to carry on.

I feel so proud of myself. I have now lost four stone and weigh 11st 10lb. My fatty liver has decreased significantly, and my doctor is thrilled with how I have transformed my life.

I have a completely new mindset and to top it all off my wedding dress has had to be remade because I have dropped four dress sizes. My dream wedding is rebooked for July this year.
