At her lowest ebb Kelly Rogers sat alone at home weighing 18st telling herself: 'I have to do something about this'. The mum-of-two decided a few days before the start of 2022 it was time to change her life for good. She discovered a Slimming World class being run by Chris Norman in the Gors area of Swansea.
She decided to dedicate herself to a weight-loss journey – even speaking to her boss to arrange annual leave for 12 consecutive Friday mornings to allow herself to full commit to the class and the challenge which she was to take on. And her decision was about to be life-changing.
"During lockdown a few things were happening in my life – I became single and the kids were getting older. I had been struggling with my weight for years – I had been overweight since I had my daughter 26 years ago. I've tried every diet – Keto, WeightWatchers: you name it, I've done it," the 45-year-old, from Fforestfach in Swansea, said.
