A Dublin woman has shared how the Slimming World community has empowered her to take part in this year's London Marathon after she lost six stone.
Alexandria Conway first realised her weight was creeping up as she started university and began to rely on takeaways and pubs for her meals. Her weight gradually began to impact her daily life as her weight gain made her reluctant to go out socially.
The now 47-year-old eventually joined Slimming World through a local branch in Donabate and began making healthier changes to her lifestyle. She was spurred on to join the weight loss group after returning home from a trip and making a shock discovery.
