MIRIAM’S INSPIRATIO­NAL TALE

AN IMMINGHAM woman has shared her secret to losing almost seven stone in just 10 months.

Miriam Oliver dropped the 6st and 10lbs after joining her local Slimming World.

The 34-year-old says she was showing symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes – such as having a dry mouth and high blood sugar. She wanted to make a change to her lifestyle – and simply began carrying out light exercise. Miriam started walking places instead of jumping in the car to get her from A to B.

She said: “Body magic – just generally being a lot more active.

“I will walk more now instead of driving everywhere due to having a lot more energy than being nearly seven stone heavier.”

Miriam says walking everywhere became easier and more enjoyable with every step.

She also made a simple change to her diet and even has a new favourite dish, thanks to Slimming World’s eating plan.

Her favourite meal before joining Slimming World was sandwiches with cheese, bacon and mayonnaise. But now she enjoys a variety of dishes including chicken curry with rice, homemade burgers with wedges, and caramelise­d red onion quiche.

Miriam has revealed an unexpected bonus to losing almost seven stone – saying she doesn’t snore as much as she did 10 months ago. She said: “I used to snore a lot but now due to less pressure due to my weight loss that has completely gone.” If Miriam’s story has inspired you to improve your health in 2021, here’s seven winter walks you can enjoy in Lincolnshi­re.
