A SUPER slimmer who lost more than five stone through Slimming World is now a consultant helping others.
Karen Malone joined the Slimming World group in 2021 after climbing Durdle Door and feeling "frightened" at how breathless she was.
She said: “I didn’t recognise the person I had become.”
Shortly after joining the group, a routine blood test picked up that Karen had very high blood sugar levels and was at risk of becoming diabetic.
“I was horrified, my father had suffered terribly with undiagnosed diabetes that ultimately led to his premature death,” said Karen.
She felt determined to improve her lifestyle and three months later, after exercising regularly and food optimising at Slimming World, her blood sugar returned to normal.
“That's when I realised my new lifestyle was quite literally for life. In August 2022 I completed my first sea swim of 2.5k and loved it.
“I feel fit and healthy and enjoy shopping for clothes for the first time in my life.”
Karen has now trained to be a consultant for Slimming World and her group is held at St Michaels Church Hall, Colehill, every Thursday at 6pm and at The Reef Colehill on Saturdays at 9.30am.
