‘I’ve gone from rock bottom to running free’
At more than 22 Stone (140 kgs) with her confidence sinking, Sherri could barely stand for 10 minutes. Now she says every bit of her life has changed for the better
When she reached her Target weight with Slimming World in September 2025, she’d lost 12 Stone 2lbs (77.1kgs) – basically a whole other person!
While it’s amazing to fit into size-8 clothes now, her weight loss means so much more than a dress size. Her high blood pressure, plantar fasciitis and prediabetes are things of the past, osteoarthritis no longer gives her pain, and she’s gone from hardly being able to walk to running.
Today, Sherri is stronger – both physically and mentally – than she’s ever been. Whether she’s relaxing in the (now very roomy!) bath, or running outdoors and breathing in the fresh air, she never takes a moment for granted.
Now, when she thinks back to the old Sherri, it’s with nothing but compassion. She was so brave. Despite how low she felt, she took that first step to save herself. She walked, so she could run.
