A Southfields mother lost nearly five stone in six months in a bid to shift baby weight after giving birth to twins.

Lucy Grainger, 25, saw her weight shoot up to 14st 9lb and her dress size to a size 18 when she was pregnant.

But after visiting the Rosemary Conley fitness club in Tooting she lost 4st 9lbs in just six months.

By cutting out fatty foods, reducing her portion sizes and exercising in the class once a week, the weight dropped off.

She said: "Our family life has definitely improved and I like being a healthy mum. I have so much more confidence now, especially doing simple things other people take for granted."
