Horley mum-of-three Kirsty Tickner has dropped from 13st 7lb to 9st 7lb using the Slimming World plan and has now trained as a consultant. Her new weekly group will start at Horley Town Football Club on Monday August 29 at 7.30pm.

She said: “When I first joined Slimming World as a member, I never dreamed that I would end up helping other people to lose weight but now I just can’t wait to get started.

“After losing 4st and completing my training, it’s a privilege for me to be able to pass on the experience, insight and understanding that helped me, so that I can give my members the support they need to get to their target. On my journey with Slimming World I have learnt so many things that are now a way of life, I’m never hungry and I don’t crave as much anymore.

“After an unfortunate accident in 2003 I had my leg crushed and I was unable to run due to the pain on my leg which made me do less, I then had children which also put on the pounds. With Slimming World I learnt how to live healthier and I lost weight. I can now run to meet my children from school and I can play in the park with them without feeling conscious of my weight. I love being able to run and not getting out of breath.

“Before Slimming World my emotions were all over the place just down to my weight. I felt saddened and I used to wear baggy clothes to cover my lumps and bumps.”

She found that being part of a group was crucial to her success.

She said: “Support is really the most important thing. It all starts with feeling that you’re not alone. I couldn’t have lost 4st without the weekly help, encouragement and understanding of my own consultant and group.

“As someone who has lost weight myself I know the challenges people can face, which is why, along with the group, I will be there to support every one of my members all the way to their chosen target weight.”
