A POOLE woman who transformed her life by losing five stone is using her success to help others achieve their weight loss dreams.

Five years ago Jessica Barrett joined her local Slimming World group and went from 15 stone 8lbs to 10 stone 1llbs.

Since that day Jessica has had two children and has maintained her healthy weight whilst continuing to eat her favourite food, pizza.

Now, she has trained as a Consultant for Slimming World and she will take over the Talbot View Community Centre group on June 5.

Jessica said: "When I first joined Slimming World as a member, I never dreamed that I would end up helping other people to lose weight but now I just can’t wait to get started.

"After losing five stone and completing my training, it’s a privilege for me to be able to pass on the experience, insight and understanding that helped me, so that I can give my members the support they need to get to their dream weight.

"Support is really the most important thing. I couldn’t have lost weight without the weekly help, encouragement and understanding of my own Slimming World group. It was particularly important during my pregnancies, giving me the freedom to enjoy my changing body but ultimately remain fit and healthy."

Jessica’s Slimming World group will be held at Talbot View Community Centre (opposite Sainsbury's) every Saturday at 8.30am from June 5.
