After seeing the amazing transformation of her famous sister Cheryl Baker as she lost 2 ½ stone on Jenny Craig last year, Sheila Morrison, 60, from Kent was determined not to let her little sister hog the limelight on the weight loss front!

“My daughter Julie is getting married this July and I have a lovely suit that’s two sizes too small. I did the classic female thing of buying it some time ago and promising myself that I’d slim down into it, but for months it’s been just hanging there in the wardrobe.

“Along with everyone else in the UK, I saw how brilliantly Cheryl had done on The Jenny Craig Programme, so the logical thing was for me to give it a go too,” says Sheila.

I immediately felt the benefit of not having to worry about weighing and measuring everything. The food was really substantial, satisfying and tasty.

So in November 2010, Sheila signed up and just a few months later, is delighted to announce she’s at the halfway stage!

“I tried the suit on recently and even though I still have around half a stone to lose, not only did I get the suit on, it even did up!” says a delighted Sheila. “By July it will fit perfectly - for that reason alone, I’m over the moon.”

Sheila’s weight loss story is typical of many women of her age. Having always been able to maintain a steady weight in the past, she was finding it more and more difficult as she got older, until she started actually putting weight on which was very hard to lose.

“First of all I went up one size and told myself it wasn’t too much of a problem. Then I went up another size and for the first time in my life I was over 10 stone, way over my normal weight. Despite trying lots of diets, I just couldn’t seem to get below it.

I tried the suit on recently and even though I still have around half a stone to lose, not only did I get the suit on, it even did up!

“The added weight was having a very negative effect on me. I found myself getting tired very quickly and felt constantly lethargic and although I kept blaming it on my age, I knew my weight was the real issue.”

But as soon as she started on The Jenny Craig Programme, Sheila knew things would be different.

“I immediately felt the benefit of not having to worry about weighing and measuring everything. The food was really substantial, satisfying and tasty.”

And with just half a stone to go, Sheila’s feeling a million times better already!

“I feel full of so much energy – I’ve started swimming again and going for brisk walks. Playing with the grandchildren is a delight now that I’m not tired old Grandma anymore.

“Thank you, Jenny Craig, for my new lease of life!”
