Megs a difference
Mum looks like a royal after she lost 7 stone to be Miss Slinky 2021
MUM Tansy Arnett shows her re-Markle-able transformation after shedding over 7st – and becoming a dead ringer for Prince Harry’s wife Meghan.
The learning support assistant had ballooned to 18st and could not keep up with her young sons.
By her mid-20s she was always exhausted and in pain, and felt self-conscious about her size.
Tansy, 29, said: “I didn’t like undressing in front of my partner and I hated looking in the mirror.
“I didn’t recognise the person looking back at me and felt like I was losing myself.
“I had joint, back and neck pain, felt tired all the time and often found things uncomfortable at work, such as trying to squeeze on to the small children’s chairs.
“I was conscious of my weight every minute of every day. The fear of seeing someone I hadn’t seen in a while was terrifying. I would worry about them noticing how much weight I’d put on.”
The mum-of-three had tried dieting but would get into a cycle of weight loss followed by gain.
PLAN
Then she joined Slimming World and stuck to a sensible meal plan – and after losing 7st 3lb and dropping six dress sizes has been named Miss Slinky 2021. Tansy, mum to 12-year-old twins Charlie and Keegan, and two-year-old Harry, now weighs 10st 11lb and is a slim size 8 to 10 – down from her previous size 22. She said: “People can’t get over how much weight I’ve lost. My partner loves my newfound confidence, and I can give my work 110%. I feel I have a new lease of life.
“I used to feel trapped in my body but now I’m set free. Some people have even said I look a bit like Meghan Markle, which is a huge compliment!”
