Lindsay Nock from St John’s in Worcester has reached her ‘dream weight’ after losing five stone in 10 months.
She decided to join her local Slimming World group after seeing pictures of herself from 2022 and discovering she weighed 15 stone at just 5ft 5.
She sought help from a friend who advised her to join the Bromwich Road Mission Free Church Slimming World Group.
She said: “My knees were in constant pain and I was at the stage where I was struggling to walk down the stairs.
“I found it really easy to follow food optimising and now I’ve been at my dream weight for over 12 months.
“I have loads more energy, my knees don’t hurt anymore, I can run up and down stairs and I have joined a Zumba group.
“I found food optimising was a great tool for weight loss as well as all the recipes and tips off the blog, the podcast, the app, and the support I get each week in the group.
“I didn’t expect to stay in the group every week as I didn’t think it would help, but I actually found that the motivation from Nikki and the other group members really spurred me on and I’ve also made some great new friends.
“When I first arrived I didn’t know anyone but everyone was so welcoming and friendly on that first day.
“This and the great support I received gave me the incentive to return week after week.”
