Unislimmer of the Year: ‘I shed 7 stone — now I’m living my life’

Ireland’s Unislimmer of the Year Jean Kelly once wished she was a woman in her 60s wearing a big cardigan with a long skirt so nobody would look at her again.

“Now I am actually living life and shopping for clothes. If you stick with it, it really is worth it,” said Jean, 37, who now weighs slightly more than 11 stone after losing almost seven stone in just over a year.

The mother of a teenage boy and girl from Bray, Co Wicklow, had to give up work as a horticulturist after sustaining a work- related injury in 2008.
