A slimmer who has lost almost four stone has inspired her family to shed the pounds during lockdown, too.

Andrea Huscroft has been rustling up her favourite low fat meals for her family and they are now benefiting from her weight loss plan.

Andrea's daughter Chole, 21, returned home from university when the pandemic hit and she has since lost 20lbs.

Gone were the takeaways for son Jamie, 18, who has lost two stone and completed a June 150k challenge - where he ran five kilometres a day.

And husband David is at the lowest weight he has ever been.

Andrea, a regional director in the business sector, says hopefully her family's healthier lifestyle will inspire others.

She has been eating a balanced diet since joining Slimming World in October 2015; ditching the takeaways and picking healthier options when going out for a meal.

Her starting weight was 14 stone and four pounds and she now weighs ten stone and nine pounds.

Andrea, 51, of Keyworth, admits: "I didn't like me, I didn't like seeing the pictures of myself".

"I was happy. I wanted to do it for me. I feel fantastic. I don't recognise pictures of the woman I was. Now the whole family has lost weight too".

Andrea reached her target weight after 18 months of slimming and maintained this for four to five months.

But then there were some big family birthdays and she slipped off target for a while but kept going.

Her lifestyle has been less busy during lockdown and that has helped to keep her focused.

Now she finds support in posting her menus on Facebook for other slimmers to read. Fellow slimmers post their recipes and take pictures of their culinary masterpieces.

Lockdown was the motivation for Andrea to begin posting her menu to keep the support and inspiration going for others.

She says losing weight is about "making small changes" and she does not feel like she is missing out on anything.

Planning meals is key, she says, and she cooks something different everyday.

Double gold Slimming World consultant Naomi Wagstaff said: "Andrea has lost almost 4 stone and manages to follow the Slimming World plan despite a busy lifestyle planning and making family meals daily and inspiring the group members each day on the Facebook page with her exciting menus and motivational posts. She is such a big part of the Keyworth group".
