A DENBIGHSHIRE super slimmer who transformed her life by losing seven stone and dropping six dress sizes wants to pass on her secrets to others.
Steph Thomas wants to use her success to shape a whole new career helping other people change their lives and achieve their weight loss dreams.
Steph joined her local Slimming World group in Denbigh and dropped from 16 stone to 10 and a half stone with her group.
She had lost a stone and a half on her own before joining Slimming World, but had lost all motivation and needed the support that her local group had to offer to help her lose the extra five and a half stone to reach her target weight.
Steph said: “Millions of people in the UK are struggling to manage their weight, with serious health implications for themselves and for our hard-pressed health services. Yet many of us find it difficult to lose weight or stick to a weight loss plan. Opinion is divided as to why some people struggle more than others, though most scientists agree that there’s no single reason – it’s down to a complex combination of factors including environmental and social influences, and the often deep-rooted psychological nature of our relationship with food."

Steph added: “I had tried to lose weight so many times before by following numerous diets but they were never sustainable because I’d always get tired of restricting what I ate. I thought I was destined to struggle with my weight for the rest of my life, but when I came to Slimming World it was different. The eating plan encouraged me to eat lots of tasty, filling foods like pasta, rice, potatoes and lean meat and fish, I was never hungry and with no foods banned there was no deprivation. I couldn’t believe I’d found a way to lose weight without starving myself and at the same time discovering about myself as a slimmer - really understanding my behaviour around food and activity. What’s even better is that everything I cook is family friendly and suitable for my two boys to enjoy as well!"
