Super slimmer turns Christmas cover star

After losing a total of 4st 9lbs in three years, Katie’s glamorous new look is displayed on the front of Weight Watchers monthly magazine.

Katie (27), of St Alban’s Way, Wickersley, is now helping others shed the pounds too as a leader of Weight Watchers Bramley and Wickersley branch.

She said: “I was nervous about being on the cover but it is exciting.

“I was invited to London for the weekend and picked up and taken to the photographic studio.

“I tried on ten different outfits. It was very Christmassy. They were blowing snow in my face, it was lovely.”

Mum-of-two Katie said she hoped her success would encourage others to lose weight.

She added she had put on six-and-a-half stones through pure greed during her pregnancy with daughter Eva Rose, who was born on Christmas Day 2012.

Katie decided to lose weight but that was interrupted by her pregnancy with second daughter Indie in 2013.

Encouraged by her mum Deborah, who was a leader with Weight Watchers in Brinsworth, Katie embarked on a slimming blitz which took her down to her target weight of 12st.

Her efforts have even encouraged fianc Ryan to lose three stones by taking up cycling.

She added that Ryan had been really supportive as she slimmed down and added that they were both now benefiting from a healthier diet.
