Slimming World classes in Castlebar

Fri, Jun 08, 2012

Ann Reilly lives in Westport, and since joining Slimming World in September 2010 she has never looked back. Ann has lost an amazing three stone and two pounds and has maintained that weight loss even after having had serious surgery last year.

Ann had tried everything in the past, all sorts of diets, but all had failed her. When being overweight started to affect her health she knew she had to do something straight away. “Finding the courage to walk through the doors at Slimming World was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I was terrified. But everyone was so friendly and welcoming that I soon felt at ease and within weeks I’d made some new friends. I don’t think I could have done it without the support of my consultant Brian and the rest of the group. Every week I’d pick up a new recipe or tip and if I was struggling someone always seemed to have the perfect piece of advice.”
