A former midwife from Bristol now feels "fabulous" in retirement after losing 15 and a half stone. Sally Offer, 56, retired early partly because she was struggling with the physical exertion of delivering babies.
Realising that she needed to put herself first, Sally joined Slimming World after hearing how many of her expectant mums had managed their weight during pregnancy due to the programme's plans. At the time she weighed 26 stone and admitted to "snacking mindlessly throughout the day", but she's gone on to become a Slimming World National Finalist.
The grandmother-of-five, who now weighs 10 stone 8lbs, said: "As a midwife, I spent most of my life taking care of other people. I'd think nothing about going out of my way to help my expectant mums and their babies, it was just natural to me.
