💬My Story...
Heyyyyy all, my name is Kerry... I'm the very proud member & now consultant of 𝙆𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙮'𝙨 𝙎𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙖𝙩 𝘽𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙖 𝘽𝙤𝙬𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘾𝙡𝙪𝙗 & 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙍𝙤𝙬 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙗𝙮𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝘾𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙘𝙝 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙚...
I joined my local Slimming World in July 2016 (for the 5th time) after a surgeon bluntly told me I was fat and this was the reason I had endometriosis...it most definitely was not the reason...
I suffered sooo much with this debilitating disease for 20+ years,and when he said this to me, I was sooo upset...
So I swore he would never ever say that to me again...or see me again... And he didn't...
As I said it was my 5th time... and I knew slimming world worked...so I joined my local group... Like any journey it has (as I'm still on my journey)it's ups and downs .. it took me a bit longer than anyone else to lose my weight... Reaching my initial 2st target, after 11 months...I felt like a failure, because people had lost that in a few weeks... but I kept going...
When I joined Slimming world I was a size 20-22... Sometimes I was a 24...
I am now a size 10-12...
I then set a new target of 2½st...
And by the time it was my 40th birthday in May 2018, I was 3st lighter...I was able to go to Galgorm Resort and I was wearing a size 14 dress and swimming suit... I loved getting photos taken that day... (As always)
I then started with a personal trainer and in 12wks I was able to do 100 sits ups...
My shape was changing as I was losing weight..getting fitter and loving buying the new clothes... BUT... the pain didn't ease...so being fat wasn't the reason for my pain...
I was told in October 2018 I'd be having a hysterectomy...I went on to lose 4st, 3days before my operation in the November...and getting the Miss Slinky Award...
Now, a hysterectomy isn't always a cure, but I said if I even got 80% pain free it was a cure for me...
I breezed through it... 4 days after my operation I was wallpapering our new living room... I do believe it was because of the weight I'd lost through Slimming World..
I set ½st targets at a time, never believing I would lose so much weight, (if I had been told I needed to lose that much weight I'd have given up a long time ago)
I won some awards, like Greatest Loser, and then in lockdown, May 2020....I had reached my final target🎯 of 5½st🎉
But that didn't stop me... I went on to lose another ½st and got 6st Award, it was my birthday weekend and I only had it for 1day 🤣
I have fluctuated, but that's the busy lifestyle I have .. I am a full time childminder working 55hrs per week...
As a member I loved the support, the learning from each other and meeting new people...and I have made great friends along the way....
As my journey continued I had an end goal... Fitting into my wedding dress that I had bought... As I was marrying the most amazing man, Brian...He has been my absolute rock, through all my pain, my slimming world journey and beyond...
My fitness levels increased also.. from not being able to walk very far..I built myself up to was 30miles in one day... In 2021, I set myself a challenge to walk 2021miles in that year... I finished it in the August...
My brother challenged and entered me into a 5k run, I said no I can't.. but then it was a challenge and you shouldn't challenge me...
I did it..and have went on to run 3 half marathons, (each one, 13.1miles) and countless other races...
I have also walked 5 mighty hikes (each one, 27miles) for Macmillan Cancer Support where I was able to raise £13,100 for this amazing charity....
I have also climbed all 7 of the Mourne Mountains with my amazing friends...
If you'd told me in July 2016 I'd be doing all this I'd have laughed at you...
So what better way to continue my journey... Other than
✨𝘽𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩 ✨
I decided to become a consultant as our Saturday morning classes didn't have a permanent consultant, and we were all scared that our wee classes would disappear...
So with alot of persuasion from my friends/fellow members, I became the consultant on 7th September 2024...and honestly
𝙒𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝘼𝙉 𝘼𝙈𝘼𝙕𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝘿𝙀𝘾𝙄𝙎𝙄𝙊𝙉 𝙏𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝙒𝘼𝙎...
In my 1st year my members had lost over a staggering 5200½lb... That's nearly 400st..😱🎉 I love each and every single person who comes through my door...
We have all lost over 800st now as of today....
So in November 2025 I made the decision to take on another group(just to cover) in Coleraine.. never would I have thought that would happen when I joined slimming world....I am now the permanent consultant of this group...and I love them all to pieces ..
I am soooo proud of each and every one of my members in all 4 classes...
