NEWENT mum Sarah Richards has managed to lose four stones in just five months.

The 26-year-old decided to lose weight when she saw a picture on a family holiday and could barely recognise herself in it.

Sarah, said: "I had always struggled with dieting as I don't like to feel hungry and I enjoy my puddings. I used to eat out or have take away meals up to four times a week as I didn't think I had time to cook tasty, nutritious meals.

"Slimming World has shown me that I can cook quick meals that are healthy, tasty and filling and then still enjoy a pudding afterwards!"

Sarah started gaining weight when she began working long hours in a stressful job where she felt like she didn't have enough time for a healthy diet. Things then began to spiral after the birth of her son.
