Why slim Wendy is happy to be a loser

A SYDENHAM woman is enjoying the lighter side of life after losing six stone in two years and being awarded the title ‘greatest loser’.

In September 2009 41-year-old Wendy Irwin weighed 15 stone and and her size was affecting every aspect of her daily life.

But after joining the Slimming World group in Calder Walk not only is she lighter, she has also won the club’s Greatest Loser 2012 prize for the member who has lost the most weight.

Mrs Irwin said: “I feel like a new woman since losing weight. In fact, people I haven’t seen for a while say they don’t recognise me.

“I look so different and much younger, I feel happier and healthier, I’ve got more energy and I’m more confident in general.”

Wendy is now waiting to find out if she’s in the running for the £3,000 cash prize.

The Slimming World group, led by Cadelle Hill, meets at Sydenham Primary School every Wednesday from 7.30pm. Call 07956 175099.
