Maidstone Lady is Given 48 Hours to Live Opens Up New Slimming Club

In December 2011 the day before her daughter’s 14th birthday, Marion began feeling unwell, she pushed aside the severe headaches she had been having as it was such a special event so close to Christmas .The following evening Marion was rushed to hospital where it was discovered she had Meningitis she was given 48 hours to live.

Thanks to the superb care she received months later Marion returned to work but was still feeling ill the consultant advised that it was due to her unhealthy lifestyle & said she really needed to start looking after herself. Marion joined Slimming World that week weighing 14st 8lbs, she was amazed to lose an 6lbs in 1st following the Extra Easy plan, everyone was so supportive & friendly, then the awards started to Slimmer of the Week & Slimmer of the Month .As the weeks went on the weight began to fall off a few pounds each week, Marion joined the local leisure centre and even went swimming which did wonders for her confidence and Marion gained bronze, silver and gold Body Magic awards.
