'I've lost five stone thanks to Slimming World'

An 56-year-old woman has found a new lease of life since joining Slimming World. She has lost five stone, and it meant she had to make some key changes to become more active- and she hasn't had a takeaway since the start of her journey.

Paula Davies, who is a customer service manager at a bank joined the company’s Bridgend group in January 2022 when she weighed 14 stone, 10lbs, but with lots of exercise and healthy eating, she has dropped all of her excess weight and is feeling better than ever. Now weighing 9 stone, 10lbs, Paula is a healthier weight and is proud of how far she has come.

Before she decided to embark on her weight loss journey, Paula was struggling with some of the emotions that had come hand-in-hand with her weight gain. She told WalesOnline: "To be honest I was ashamed of how I looked and how much weight I had gained as I was always conscious of how slim I was, but during lockdown, I gave up and was eating anything and everything, takeaways every week, chocolate and crisps."
