When Maria fund out she was going to be a grandma, she decided it was finally time to say goodbye to the weight she had been trying to lose for a long time.
In her determination to be ready to welcome her little one into the world as a healthy version of herself, she has been able to lose an incredible 9 stone with the help of Judith Box at Slimming World Shildon.
Maria had tried all other ‘diets’ but found they just weren’t sustainable for her in the long term.
With Slimming World’s unique food optimising, she learned how to still lose weight while socialising and having a very busy professional career.
Her favourite foods are curries, pasta dishes, burgers and pies – but all done the Slimming World way.
Her favourite hobby now is clothes shopping, something she really didn’t like at her previous weight.
Maria’s top tip is to attend the group every week and stay true to the sessions as they provide the inspiration and motivation.
She says there is so much support in the group from like-minded people all striving for the same outcome.
Maria was also crowned Woman of The Year 2024 by her fellow slimmers. The group says she is such an inspiration to everyone.
