EPISODE 33 - part 1, Leah Trainor shares how life as a mum of two boys inspired her 10 stone weight loss with Slimming World.

Leah was overjoyed to be attending her first doctor's appointment with her midwife after receiving the great news that she was expecting her first baby. Leah with overwhelmed with joy and excitement as she walked through the doors in eager anticipation. Leah's friend had spoken about the first appointment as just like any new mum to be Leah felt that this appointment had made it official, Leah was now a mum….there was definitely no going back! 

The excitement and joy were soon to be quashed by her first consultation and it became clear that there were grave concerns for Leah due to the excess weight she carried. Fortunately, Leah gave birth to a healthy baby boy with celebrations all around! Leah loved being a mum, 6 months later Leah and husband Andrew decided to try for another baby and with delight introduced their second baby boy into their family.

Despite the initial concerns for Leah and her health while pregnant Leah was able to have two babies with no complex health interventions.

Leah fully embraced being a new mum but as soon as the boys became more active it was clear that Leah had to make a change. Leah didn't want to be sat on the sidelines watching Andrew or family and friends take her boys around soft play. Leah wanted to join in but weighing over 20 stones this was often difficult.

The realization that Leah could be missing out on activities with her sons motivated her to take action and having lost 10 stone Leah has been able to share her slimming story. Prepare to be inspired!
