A MUM of twins has launched her own Slimming World group after she lost three stone in seven months.

Kelly Wright, 35, from Worcester, has had a rollercoaster ride with her weight but now, after finding success, she wants to help others and so has set up Hallow Slimming World.

After trying to conceive naturally for over four years without success, Kelly was advised that weight loss was a requirement to access the NHS IVF programme, but she struggled due to a busy work schedule and the pressures of daily life.

With private help, motherhood happened for Kelly in 2017 with the arrival of twins Ava and Jacob and, but the joys of parenting were tempered by her low self-esteem over her weight.

Seven months after giving birth, Kelly felt at an all time low living in baggy clothes to hide her heavier post-baby frame.

The turning point was a teary changing-room exchange in December last year, with her husband Pete insisting on a proud twirl to show off her new Christmas jumper and Kelly remaining in the cubicle sobbing from her lack of body confidence.

So Kelly decided it was time to take action. Her sister recommended Kerry Hill’s Slimming World group in Halesowen and since joining two weeks before Christmas, Kelly has thrived.

Seven months later, Kelly is three stone lighter and the master of a range of Slimming World recipes.

From being a mum to two energetic twins to settling back into work after maternity leave, life is as busy as ever for Kelly but she has managed to maintain her weight loss.

She has also dusted off her trainers and will take part in the Worcester City Run 10k this Sunday (September 16) and the London Marathon next year.

 Kelly said: “If you’ve tried and failed, or if you’re trying for the first time to improve your body confidence, take the leap of faith and join me in my new Slimming World group, which I promise will offer a friendly, welcoming, non-judgmental and supportive environment.”

 Kelly said she is confident that this Christmas, when husband Pete – who is nearly two stone lighter himself – takes her shopping for a festive jumper, she’ll be strutting out of the changing room.

Join Kelly’s Slimming World group on Monday October 1 in Hallow, then every Monday at 7.30pm.
