Pete at Lidgett Methodist Church

After years of eating unhealthy food and living an unhealthy lifestyle, my weight had crept up to nearly 23st by 2018, I knew I had to do something, so I plucked up the courage to join my local group and I've never looked back. It was the best decision Iʼve ever made. Before, I was being treated for breathing difficulties and high blood pressure, I was on three tablets a day and I had a BMI of 50. Fast forward 18 months and Iʼve lost 10st 9.5lbs, reached my target of 12st, Iʼm a healthy BMI of 22 and Iʼm medication free. I genuinely feel about 20 years (at least) younger, I feel fitter and I have so much more energy and a real lust for life now. I just want to help others find the real them, just like I did, with Slimming World.
