A SUPER slimmer who lost nearly a stone in just one month has bagged a place in the semi-finals of a weight-loss competition.

Amanda Crawford, 45, from Clacton lost an impressive 10st 3.5lbs and was one of just 39 women to win a place at the semi-finals of the Slimming World’s Woman of the Year 2017.

Mrs Crawford was originally 22st 8lbs admits that when she switched parts of her diet, she noticed a change on the scales. 

She said: “Before I found Slimming World, losing weight always seemed such a struggle.

“After I joined Slimming World it was as though my eyes were completely opened and I found a new way of eating that easily fit around my life.

“What made it even easier was the fact that others – including family and friends – could eat the same meals.”

At the Woman of the Year 2017 semi-finals at Slimming World’s head office in Derbyshire, she met with soap star Adam Thomas.
