Claire sharing her recipe for success

Having always been overweight, she has now found the happiness and confidence that she never had before.

Claire joined her local Slimming World group in June 2010.

“I have been overweight since my teenage years, and always felt embarrassed and self-conscious of how I looked,” she said.

“I even went as far as to make excuses not to go out with my friends.

“After my second child was born I made the decision that enough was enough, and I needed to do something.

“A friend of mine had joined Slimming World and, after seeing how much weight she was losing, decided to give it a go.”

She continued: “The minute I walked through the doors I was put at ease by the warmth, support and friendliness.

“The support of my group and my consultant was of great benefit to me as I started my journey to reach my target.

“At no time did I ever feel embarrassed, and the best bit was that I was able to chose my own target weight and never had my weight disclosed to the rest of the group.”

As Claire has found, this is not just a diet change, but a lifestyle change.

With all her new found confidence and energy, Claire has taken the next step from member to consultant and is relaunching the Mount Zion House group in Lurgan on Wednesdays at 10am, 5.30pm and 7.30pm.
