FOR Michelle Simcock, life was a struggle seeing her baby boy grow up to become an active little toddler and not be able to join in his fun.

Weighing 19 stone, the single mum was constantly lacking the motivation and the energy to go out and do things.

But wanting to be more involved in her three-year-old Alfie's active life, Michelle was determined to slim down for him.

And in just under a year after joining the Chell group of Slimming World in June, 2013, she has managed to shed an impressive five-and-a-half stone, and drop 10 dress sizes.

"When I had my little boy, I just wanted to do everything I could with him," said the 38-year-old, from Harriseahead. "I didn't want to be an overweight mum in the playground. "It could have meant bullying for Alfie and I never wanted that for him.

"I'd always felt uncomfortable doing things, but he was the real reason I took the first step and joined a group."

But it was only after Michelle had joined the group did she find the desire to change the way she looked. "It was very daunting getting on those scales for the first time," she said.

"I was so shocked at how much I weighed. I'd deluded myself into think t wasn't so bad, but I thought now I can see how big I am, I never want to go back to that. "I'd always been a bit of a yo-yo dieter, but that was the heaviest I'd been.

"From that point on I was 100 per cent committed to the plan."
