Michelle cooks up a treat as she shrinks six dress sizes

Being offered a job but feeling so uncomfortable in herself that she didn’t take it was the push that Michelle Evans needed to do something about her weight.

She has since managed to drop six dress sizes, and is helping others to follow in her footsteps at Shifnal Slimming World.

While sitting in her car in a size 22, Michelle finally admitted that it was too small and that she needed a larger one , but felt so uncomfortable when shopping that she just avoided the issue completely.

She couldn’t bring herself to go on nights out with her husband or visit friends, so she decided to make a change.

Michelle had seen one of her friends lose weight through Slimming World, and decided to give it a go.

She said she enjoyed discovering new foods, like celeriac and butternut squash, as well as still being able to have some of her favourite dishes.

Having never cooked a meal from scratch, Michelle learned in group every week the meals that she could easily prepare for her family of four. She lost five pounds and became hooked.

After 19 weeks, she lost four stone seven pounds.

She said: “I’m cooking myself to a slimmer me and I love it.

“I just can’t believe how much I can eat and not feel hungry, my family are loving the new taste of my food too.”

Michelle will join the Shifnal group of Slimming World on Wednesdays at 5.30pm and 7.30pm from tomorrow.
