How Mother and Daughter Shed
Posted on: Friday, 9 September 2005, 15:00 CDT
A mother and daughter have lost an incredible 10 stone in weight between them.
Margaret Horrell, 73, weighed 16 stone 13lbs before she went down three dress sizes with the help of Slimming World and a hospital diet plan.
Her impressive weight loss of three stone 13lbs and healthy eating meant she also avoided dialysis after her diabetes brought on kidney problems.
Margaret, from Grand Avenue, Ely, Cardiff, has been supported by her only daughter Anne Horrell, 33, whom she says 'watches everything I eat'.
Anne herself lost an impressive six stone, dropping from 19 stone 11lb to 13 stone 10lb and going down five dress sizes. Her mother said that people were often 'astonished' by their new look.
This week Anne was voted a Slimming World woman of the year finalist. She had been previously diagnosed with a thyroid problem and was told by her doctor she would be unable to lose weight.
Leesa Edwards, who runs the class at Western Leisure Centre on Tuesday evenings, said: 'The total weight loss between the two is an inspiration.'
Anne said: 'My message to other slimmers is 'don't give up'.
'The people at Slimming World are really friendly and we get a lot of support. No way could I have done it without the group.'
Anne and Margaret, who are both 5ft 9in, followed a combination of Slimming World's green plan, which allows an unlimited amount of potatoes, rice, pasta, beans, peas, lentils, fresh fruit and vegetables, and an original eating plan which includes meat, fish and poultry.
