Following a heart-to-heart with her daughter, Ally lost 7 Stone (44.5kgs) with Slimming World, rebuilt her confidence and stepped back into her dancing shoes
Her daughter Chloe said she should look after herself because she wanted Ally to be around for as long as possible.
A few years earlier, Ally had treatment for a lung tumour and lost one of her lungs. Not long after that, her dad passed away. Looking back, it’s no wonder Ally wasn’t taking very good care of myself. Food became her comfort. Whenever she was stressed, upset or struggling, She’d reach for chocolate, biscuits or a takeaway.
At 18 Stone 8lbs (117.9kg), Ally knew her weight was taking its toll. She decided it was time to do something and visited her GP to find out what support was available.
Her doctor referred Ally to her local Slimming World group and, looking back now, that referral changed her life.
The woman who once preferred to stay at home now loves going out, socialising and heading straight for the dance floor whenever the opportunity arises
Ally’s Slimming World group has carried her through challenges, celebrated every success with and helped her believe in herself again. For Ally, that weekly support, inspiration and accountability has been the key to maintaining her success.
