Half the person I was ... and I couldn't be happier!

TEACHING assistant from Southport has transformed her life after losing 13 stone - over half her body weight - after joining Slimming World.

- BY ANDREW BROWN

Half the person I was ... and I couldn't be happier!

The changes for mum-of-one Charlotte Howard have been remarkable.

She has cured the sleep apnoea which stopped her sleeping; surgery on her knee has been put on hold; and she has gone from struggling to walk 100 steps a day to walking 10,000 steps per day.

It has given a new life to Charlotte who has escaped a life “carrying pain, fear and a life that had slowly grown smaller” to one with infinite possibilities.

The determined 52-year-old has made the changes she needed after walking into her local Slimming World group at Fleetwood Hesketh sports and social club in Marshside, Southport in April 2024, run by Kelly Barker.

She said: “Before joining Slimming World I was so unhappy and knew I needed to take control for me, my health and my family.

“I hope by sharing my story - if it motivates or inspires just one person, then that’s a win for me.
