A MUM who lost four stone is hoping to inspire others to change their lifestyles.

Leonie Gray, 30, of Basildon, wanted to lose weight after giving birth to her son.

When he was six-months-old, she realised that she had put on more weight after having him and was determined to shed the pounds.

She joined Weight Watchers and was thrilled to lose four stone, bringing her weight down from 12 stone 10lbs to eight stone 10lbs.

She said: “Weight Watchers helped me to become me again. I suffered with anxiety and depression because I was so down about my weight - seeing the weight fall off me easily just eating healthy, portion controlling and exercising lifted my mood and made me feel so much better.

“Confidence started to come back, I felt like me again.

“The old Leonie was back.”

Leonie know leads a group and has been awarded her Diamond Leader award for her work and dedication.
