Kelly Rogers, 45, tipped the scales at 18 stone in 2021, and wore a 24 dress size.<\/p>\n
She attributed her weight gain to second helpings, boozy weekends and the eternal false promise that she would \u201cstart the diet on Monday\u201d.<\/p>\n
The single mum, from Fforestfach, Wales, tried several fad diets but could never seem to keep the weight off long-term.<\/p>\n
But in December 2021 she vowed to herself she would take her weight loss seriously and even joined a support group to help her on her journey.<\/p>\n
Taking her goal very seriously, Kelly decided to book every Friday off for the next 12 weeks as annual leave to \u201cfocus\u201d on her weight loss transformation.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI completely changed my eating habits and banished the weekend drinking binges.”<\/p>\n
The local weight loss group also did wonders for Kelly, with the slimmer revealing she lost a whopping eight pounds in the first week alone, which spurred her on to continue.<\/p>\n
“I even took up boxing at the gym where my son works and the weight started dropping off me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Don’t miss… <\/strong> Taking those extra days of annual leave was a godsend for Kelly, who used the time to really \u201cfocus\u201d on her weight loss goals – \u201chaving that extra day, just to myself to focus on my weight loss made the world of difference!”.<\/p>\n Kelly has also totally revamped her diet, swapping instant noodles, fish and chips, crisps, fizzy drinks and wine for eggs, salad, veggies, salmon and waiter – with the \u201coccasional gin and slimline tonic\u201d.<\/p>\n By the end of 2022, Kelly had lost a staggering six stone and was unrecognisable in a dress size 10, weighing in at 11st 8lbs.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
