Local mum Hilary Richardson is starting 2025 having transformed her life after losing more than 7 stone with Slimming World.
After being hit by a car back in November 2022, which damaged her ankle and ligaments, Hilary found herself in constant pain.
Her weight was a real issue as she was unable to easily use crutches, with her lack of mobility leading to even more weight gain.
When she hit size 26, Hiliary realised how miserable she was and that something had to change.
Fed up with her situation and the negative feelings that came along with it, she joined her local Slimming World group in April 2023.
Now, 18 months later, Hilary is boasting a 7st 6lb weight loss which has transformed her life.
Speaking about her journey, Hilary has said:
“It can be so difficult to lose weight alone, so being in our group really kept me motivated and helped me make the changes I needed to make.

“During the group I learned about the food I could enjoy without feeling guilty and going hungry and I use the Slimming World app to give me inspiration with recipe ideas so I never got bored with food.”
Celebrating her new, slimming self, Hilary recently completed the 2-mile Swim Serpentine – a swimming event that takes place in the world-famous Serpentine Lake in London’s Hyde Park.
She said:
“There is no way I could of dreamt of doing that before losing weight let alone completing it.
“Food Optimising and the support of my group has helped me turn my life around.
