A young Derry mum is enjoying a new healthier lifestyle after shedding over three stone in weight.
Kellie Brown, from Fern Abbey, had been on medication for high blood pressure and for epilepsy.
However, that all changed after she joined Slimming World to lose weight and is absolutely delighted to find the added health benefits.
Since joining Slimming World and discovering Food Optimising, Kellie has found a new love for cooking.
Kellie, mother of a toddler, now cooks healthy meals the whole family enjoy, no more separate dinners for the kids.
Since she lost 3st 3.5lbs her doctor cannot believe the transformation and is now off all medication for blood pressure.
Kellie has also noticed her mood is always brighter.
Kellie’s mum, Geraldine, is also enjoying the benefits of a new, healthier lifestyle. Geraldine has lost 2st 1lb after joining Slimming World along with Kelli.
Geraldine said Kellie had become a totally different girl now and that Slimming World had changed both their lives.
Kellie and her mum both attend Slimming World in Templemore Sports Complex.
Their consultant Rhonda said she had a dream job, helping more and more people achieve their dream weight.
Rhonda said: “With just some small changes and a strong commitment, it is possible to to change your life.”
Janice Tracey, who manages the North West team of Slimming World consultants said: “It has been a phenomenal start to the new year. Traditionally it is a busy time with weightloss being the number one New Year’s resolution.
“But this year we are sensing a difference. The people who walk through the doors want to make changes for their health as well as their appearance and thats such a big motivator, especially for those who have children.
“So far, in the first two weeks of 2014 we have welcomed over 1,200 new members. It’s so inspirational for us as consultants to see commitment on such a scale and it is our privilege to do what we can to help. Slimming World is famed for its high level of member support both in and out of group.
“We match our members commitment with our own. Our groups never close – we are there 52 weeks of the year to help and support members, especially at holiday times – thats when they need us most and we will not be found wanting.”
