‘Felt realistic’ - South Shields mam celebrates dropping three stone in five months
A South Shields mam is celebrating her life-changing weight loss.
Sarah Richardson, from South Shields, is celebrating losing three stone in just five months - dropping from a size 16 to a size 12 in the process.
The 42-year-old joined Slimming World at the South Shields Indoor Bowls Centre, on Horsley Hill Road, in an effort to transform her life.
Sarah has explained that her weight had slowly crept up, something that was leaving her feeling low in confidence and constantly tired.
She commented: “I knew something had to change.
“I wanted to feel comfortable in my own skin again and have more energy for everyday life.
“It didn’t feel like a diet - it felt realistic, and that’s why it worked.
“The biggest change is how I feel.
“I’m more confident, I sleep better, and I don’t shy away from photos anymore. Reaching Target has shown me what I’m capable of.”
Throughout her weight loss journey, Sarah has built life-changing habits that she believes will last for good.
She now plans meals ahead, fills her plate with healthier choices and has rediscovered a love of cooking from scratch.
Now being a ‘Target Member’ with Slimming World, she hopes that her story will inspire others in South Shields and beyond to start their own weight loss path.
Sarah added: “If I can do it, anyone can.
“You don’t have to do it alone, and small changes really do add up.”
