 Episode 21, Jessica Faulkner the most positive bride to be amidst COVID-19 shares her weight loss as a Slimming World member.

 

Jessica joined her local slimming group with the intention of just losing half a stone. Several stones later and with healthy eating choices embedded into her lifestyle with a newfound love for fitness inches followed the weight loss, reducing Jessica's dress size from a U.K size 22 to size 10 - 12. Jessica exuberates confidence and it's difficult to imagine Jessica ever feeling any different but during our conversation, Jessica opens up about how changes to her diet and fitness have increased her confidence and how happy she feels compared with life in a larger body. This episode was published during COVID- 19 but Jessica doesn't show any signs of overwhelm a testament to the support of a loving fiance, family, and friends. Shopping for a wedding dress had been a worry for Jessica but now in a smaller size, Jessica has the freedom to choose whatever style she finds on the rail in the wedding boutique. Being an overweight mum was something that once laid heavy on Jessica's mind but now she is free to keep up with her young daughter and shine as a role model providing healthy footsteps for daughter Felicity to follow in.
