I knew something had to change, and two of my sisters were already going to a Slimming World group so I decided I would go along with them.
Sheila McLoughlin, 63, told RSVP Live that with five kids and a full-time job, she wasnt looking after herself properly - and the weight started to creep on.
Before I joined Slimming World I would have been eating a lot of takeaways, and using a lot of ready-made sauces, she explained.
Now I can still have all my favourite foods but Im cooking them from scratch so theyre a lot healthier.
It suits everyone in the house as I dont have to cook one thing for me and something else for the rest of the family.
I can still have my treats too, whether its a chocolate bar or a sneaky glass of wine in the evening.
