Since then, through her hard work and with the support of the group, she has lost six and a half stone.
She said: “I would have struggled to lose weight on my own, but being part of a group was the key to my success.
“The group is so warm, friendly and caring - there is never any judgement, no discrimination and no humiliation.
“I’m still able to cook my favourite meals such as curries and spaghetti Bolognese.”

She said: “My top tips are don’t give up, if you have a bad day then you can always start again the next day.
“You need to persevere, some weeks will be harder than others but keep going.”
