Sarah Riseborough is launching her own Slimming World group in Capel St Mary after she trimmed from a size 18 to a size 12 in one year.
The 41-year-old joined Slimming World in Hadleigh in September 2014 weighing 13st 7lbs after having two children – Caiden, five, and Cacey, three.
“Things changed when I became pregnant and suffered with health issues,” Mrs Riseborough said.
“After having my children it was difficult for me to regain my level of fitness. I had returned to work as a full-time soldier but I also had two young children and a husband to take care of too.”
Mrs Riseborough, of Malyon Road, Hadleigh, left the Army as a sergeant in October last year after 22 years.
“I loved the warm and friendly atmosphere I felt when I walked into the room at the group and knew a career as a Slimming World consultant would be the perfect option for me after life in the Army,” she said.
