A slimmer who lost a stone through a new diet and fitness regime is to launch her own weight loss group to help others shed the pounds.

Lisa Hartgrove had always considered herself to be a reasonably healthy eater but said: 'A pound here and there soon mounted up.

'A number of different diets came and went, lasting no longer than a week to the battle of hunger.

'I would admit defeat, claiming that life was for living!

'Before I knew it my holiday in the sun was just around the corner and I had failed miserably on my mission to lose weight.

'From that moment I knew something had to be done and one thing was for certain, I couldn't do it alone.'

A Slimming World flyer landed on her doorstep, with Mrs Hartgrove saying the group inspired her to make different choices.

In just four months, she achieved her target weight by dropping an entire dress size and shedding just under a stone.

She is now set to re-launch her very own group in Harleston to help inspire others to lose weight.

'If you have 7lbs or more to lose come along to my open group every Thursday from August 10 at 7.30pm at the Archbishop Sancroft High School in Harleston. It's time to start living.'
