Weight off my mind

Sharon Reed has achieved her goal of dropping four clothes sizes, shedding 23lb to go from 12st 2lb to 10st 4lb on her way from a size 16 to a size 12.

The mother-of-two of Westergate Street, said: 'I had my gorgeous baby boy last February. After eight months of feeling mumsie, I decided I needed to lose weight to turn into a fit, fresh and funky mummy.

'I was also due to return to work and I wanted to look good '“ and I do.

'I feel much more energetic and my three-and-a-half year old son stops playing football before I do because he's the one in need of rest.'

Sharon (32) became slim through 14 weeks of attending the Weight Watchers' sessions held at 7pm on Tuesdays at South Bersted CoE Primary School in Church Lane by Zo Lysandrou.

As well as seeing her waistline re-appear, her reward for reaching her goal was a stunning pair of diamond earrings from her husband.
