A WOMAN who thought she was destined to always struggle with her weight has become a consultant after losing four stone.

Marisa Simms-Crewe, 36, hopes to help others turn their lives around as part of the weight-loss plan.

She said: “When I first joined Slimming World, I never dreamed that I would end up helping other people to lose weight but now I just can’t wait to get started.”

The first session will take place at Winwick Leisure Centre on a Wednesday from 5pm to 7pm on January 25. 

The 36-year-old added: “Support is really the most important thing.

"It all starts with feeling that you’re not alone.

"I couldn’t have lost four stone without the weekly help, encouragement and understanding of my own consultant and group.

"On that first day before I walked into the room I felt my usual shyness creeping over me so I was grateful to be walking in with someone else. 

"As soon as I got in I could see there was no need to be scared.

"I felt no pressure or judgement as I joined."
