Cannock's slimline Kerry loses 7st in JUST 14 months
She lost 7st in just 14 months - and now 26-year-old Kerry Beeston will compete to become the top female slimmer in the country.
Kerry, who lives in Stafford Road in Cannock, lost the weight after joining her Slimming World branch in May last year after becoming unhappy with her size.
She plummeted in weight from 18st 13lb to 11st 10.5lb now, dropping from a size 22 dress size down to a 14.
She has now been been chosen to represent the Huntington Slimming World group in the nationwide Slimming World Woman of the Year 2015 competition.
The national Slimming World Woman of the Year 2015 will be announced in November with the winner to take home £3,000.
She said: "I started to put on weight in my teens and when I reached the largest size available in my favourite store I realised that it was time to take action.
"After losing 7st I'm the slimmest – and the happiest – I've been in such a long time.
"My boyfriend is ecstatic and cannot believe the change both physically and mentally – I feel so much more confident and positive, my whole outlook on life has changed. I'm who I wished I could be for all those years.
"As the weight started to come off and I began moving down dress sizes – I've gone from a size 22 to a 12-14 – I started to believe I could actually lose the weight and keep it off. Losing the weight has made such a huge difference – it's changed my life.
"I feel like a winner already, so being voted the Huntington group's Woman of the Year 2015 is just the icing on the cake."
Rose Ward ,who runs the Huntington group, says: "I'm so proud of Kerry. She's a huge inspiration to us all and I hope she inspires other women in Cannock to change their lives in the same way."
