Holiday photographs spurred Sharon Griffin from Cork to take action lose a whopping 5st 4lbs and is now ready for her close up.

“I came home from holidays on a Sunday and I joined Unislim that Tuesday,” says Sharon. “I had previously been told by my doctor that my cholesterol was sky high, but it wasn’t until I seen photos of myself on the beach that I realised I had to make a change. The camera doesn’t lie!”

Hairdresser, Sharon joined Unislim’s Macroom Class and quickly bonded with her leader Phil Lawlor. “Phil was so helpful and supportive in every sense. She was so knowledgeable about healthy foods and she was always on hand if I needed any guidance or advice.”

Sharon says that since joining Unislim, she now eats more than ever before. She has learned to cook the healthy way and says that simple changes, like switching from the deep fat fryer to the grill for example, can make a big difference. Sharon’s favourite healthy recipe is Unislim steak and chips and she also loves movie nights with a Unislim pizza, which is made using a tortilla wrap, passata sauce, lots of healthy veggies & reduced fat cheese.

Sharon’s advice to anyone beginning their own weight loss journey is to join their local Unislim class. “It sounds simple, but if you want to lose weight and keep it off, healthy food and exercise really is the key – it didn’t go on overnight, so it won’t come off overnight, but with the help of your class and your leader – you will see amazing results.”
