Having lost over 5 stone, Rosaleen Sexton from Newcastlewest, Co Limerick is loving her new figure.
Determined Rosaleen lost 5st 5lb and transformed her life. “The moment I realised I had to take action about my weight was in December 2013 when I was out shopping for a dress for a wedding. I found that nothing fitted me and I had to go to the plus size section and buy a size 20 dress,” says Rosaleen.
Teamed up with the fact that Rosaleen was prescribed pain medication for illnesses that were magnified by her weight, it was definitely time to make a change.
Joining Unislim in Newcastlewest in January 2014, and weighing exactly 15st, Rosaleen said that she felt surprised, but determined, telling her leader Anne Hynes that she would “never to see that number on the scale again.” Rosaleen was right, on December 31st of the same year, she had lost just over 5st, reaching her target weight.
“Walking into Unislim class and meeting my leader Ann Hynes was the best decision I ever made,” says Rosaleen. “You never feel alone with Unislim, the classes and the online support with their Facebook Unislim Chatroom has helped me achieve my dreams.”
“Unislim has really changed my life in every way possible. I’m so much happier, I sleep better and I have more energy. I also love going shopping for clothes now that I have a new found confidence.”
Her entire family have benefitted from Rosaleen’s transformations and now everyone eats healthy meals. But Rosaleen still has time for her treats “I love a little chocolate a glass of wine every now and then, it’s great that I can work them into my life and still lose weight with Unislim”.
Now, shopping is a breeze and Rosaleen just loves to try new styles that she never thought she would be able to wear. Her advice to anyone who feels that they need to make a change is “I never imagined myself getting to where I am today – it feels surreal, but if I can do it, you can too – just join your local Unislim class and even if the going gets tough, just keep going.”
