Facebook photo shocked Co Fermanagh woman into weight loss – Belfast Live

How to lose weight quickly Comments Off on Facebook photo shocked Co Fermanagh woman into weight loss – Belfast Live

A shocking Facebook photo proved the key factor in motivating one Co Fermanagh woman to do something about her weight.

Jeanette Wilson from Enniskillen says she had "always been a bit chubby" and had failed on numerous occasions to lose weight by herself.

But after seeing a photo of herself posted on Facebook , Jeanette says it was the motivation she needed to take action.

She said: I had always been a bit chubby, I was always hovering around the 14/16 dress size mark, and although I had tried to lose weight by myself, it never worked.

"Then in October 2015 I went to a friends 70th birthday party and afterwards someone posted at photo of me up on Facebook as soon as I saw it, I thought, no way! So I found a local Weight Watchers class and off I went."

Jeanette said she quickly learned the mistakes she had been making with her diet, including skipping breakfast.

"I soon realised I had been making lots of mistakes, I never had breakfast and I ate a lot of take-away dinners.

"I was always nibbling at food, and buying all sorts of rubbish instead of having proper healthy meals. So when I got home from my first class, I gave the cupboards a good clear out.

"I cut down on all the bread I was eating and I make sure to have lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, its all second nature to me now. "We get lots of recipe ideas in the class each week, so I follow those.

"I have a slow cooker so I put my food on before I leave the house and when I come back home its all done. Preparation is a really important part of staying on track."

Jeanette says going to her local classes helped give her the motivation and support she needed.

"The first week after I started, I lost five pounds and from then on I knew it was working, so I was determined to stick with it it was just a case of getting my head around it and staying positive. The weight kept coming off slowly but surely.

"Of course there were bad weeks, but I kept going. Just before I joined Weight Watchers we got a dog, and when I see those eyes looking up at me, I cant say no, so Im out a couple of nights walking three or four miles.

"I still go to class every Tuesday morning, its almost like a social event now; I really enjoy it. Sharon is more than a leader, shes a friend; shes always there when I need her, and if I ever feel stuck I just send her a wee message.

"Everyone in the class is helpful and supportive, we all share our stories and our tips."

Delighted at losing 2 stone 4lbs in total, Jeanette said she feels so much better and has more energy.

"When I finally received my Gold Card, it was like getting a million dollars! It feels so good to have slimmed down, I took part in the Weight Watchers fashion show last year and to be able to fit into a size 10 without any problems is amazing.

"I have so much more energy than I ever had, and I feel so much better in myself, Im delighted!

Here are Jeanettes tips for success:

Get up and go to Weight Watchers now!

Even if you do slip up, you have to stick with it it does work; it certainly did for me!
