Mum’s never felt better!
ASOUTHPORT mum lost three stone in just six months – and has ‘never felt better’.
Helen Norrie, 31, began her weight loss journey in October last year when she began actively trying to eat healthily.
This came after she joined a Southport Slimming World group and found encouragement from other members – after trying and failing with other weight loss techniques for 18 months.
Thinking back to two years ago, the mum-of-two said: “On the day of my daughter’s Christening, I remember that morning thinking I looked half decent for the occasion and being gutted in the evening seeing how massive I looked in the photographs.
“It took me almost 18 more months of failed attempts to lose weight before I discovered Slimming World after a chance encounter with the most amazing Slimming World consultant, Dee Wright.
“My confidence was pretty much rock bottom.”
Since October last year, Helen has lost another three stone and has also dropped from a dress size 16-18 to a size 8-10.
Helen, who is the owner of Helen’s Fantasy Faces based in Southport, set herself a target and losing three stone, and managed to do it in just six months.
She did this by making changes to her diet and following the Slimming World eating plan – and she is sure she will continue to follow it.
She said: “What stops me sliding back into old habits? Knowing that I never want to look or feel like I did back then.
“Even though I’m now at target and my confidence is definitely returning, the information, suppport and love I receive from my Slimming World family at group each week is absolutely invaluable.”
Since reaching her target weight, Helen has joined the gym and enjoys running on the sand dunes.
She said: “I love running along the sand dunes, it’s my favourite thing to do.
“It is something I wouldn’t have done before I reached my weight loss target.”
If you would like to join Southport Slimming World, or find out more about what is on offer, contact consultant Dee Wright.
She runs groups on St Simon and St Jude’s church, on Old Park Lane, every Wednesday at 9.30am and Thursday at 5.30pm and 7.30pm.
