Imagine losing weight equivalent to an entire person.

Well for two local women, they don’t have to imagine any more. They’ve done it and want to go even further.

Coolah women, Wendy Williams and Chris Fitler of Mudgee have both lost 50 kilos thanks to the Weight Watchers diet program.

Mrs Williams struggled to walk up a flight of stairs when she was at her heaviest, now she can sprint up them and won’t even break a sweat.

For the past 10 years Mrs Williams had been gradually increasing in weight and got to the point where she was unable to play with her children.

“I just didn’t have the energy. I struggled just getting around the place,” Mrs Williams said.

“Now my seven year old and I can play together all day. I don’t have to sit and just watch any more.

“I even get in trouble from him if I miss the meetings.”

Chris Fittler decided she needed to do something about her weight when she tipped the scales at 134 kilograms.

“My husband and I were planning on going on a holiday and were going to fly there.

“I didn’t want my weight to stop me flying, because it would have made it so much more difficult,” she said.

Losing a whopping 50 kilos has made these women almost unrecognisable.

“I saw my daughter after she had been overseas and she didn’t even recognise me,” Mrs Fitler said.

The two-year journey for both women has been long, but they attribute all their success to the Weight Watchers program.

“It was tough in the beginning, but it’s become a lifestyle now,” Mrs Fitler said.

With the support of the Weight Watchers group both women have journeyed through the ups and downs and come out with a new outlook on life.

“I wouldn’t have done it without the support of the other members,” Mrs Williams said.

“I’ve made life long friends, and I’m happier than I have been in a long long time.”

But the journey for these two inspirational women is far from over.

For Wendy and Chris the 50 kilo mark is just another step in the road.

“I’ve got 20 kilos to go,” Chris said. “And I’ve got about 30 more to loose, then we’ll both be at our goal weights,” Wendy said.
