A WORCESTER family have lost an incredible 15st between them.

Mum and daughter Sheila and Nicola Haggerty first joined the Slimming World Masonic Hall and Rainbow Hill groups in 2017, after support from friends.

Nicola said: “Back in January 2017 mum and I decided to try and lose weight.

"We were eating all the wrong foods, putting on more weight and could see we were both getting bigger.

"We managed to lose one stone ourselves but it was proving difficult to stay focused. It was then in April 2017 a friend recommended Slimming World, and so our journey began.

"We have learnt so much about food optimising and we have taken back control of our bodies and the way we eat."

Sheila and Nicola were doing so well that youngest daughter Julie decided to get involved and they have weekly get togethers for a 'fakeaway', where they each cook something new for them to try.

To date Sheila has lost six stone, Nicola five stone and Julie 4st 7lb, a combined 15st 7lb.

Nicola added: "I’d encourage anyone in Worcester to not let social media worries stop them from living their best life, or from achieving their goals and dreams.

"If their goals include losing weight, they’ll always get a warm welcome from me and the members of my Our Lady St Johns or Masonic Hall Slimming World group.”
