Marie and I both contacted the Daily Echo, Southampton's local paper last week to tell them about our meeting having a Halloween themed meeting and also to tell them about me. On Monday I had a call at work from Melanie, a reporter and a photographer turned up at our meeting on Monday evening to take photos of me and the group.
I was a bit disappointed as Halloween came and went and our meeting was not featured, despite the photographer taking a group picture which I was sure they would use. Then on Friday morning one of our taxi drivers at work called over on the radio and told me he had just seen a sign outside a shop on an A board with the Daily Echo headline "How I lost 12 stone in a year!" That person was me. It turns out I had not only made the paper but there was a link to me on the front page and my story was on page 3!!! Who thought I would ever be a page 3 girl eh? LOL!!!!
I've included the link here for you to see the article yourself. I have had nothing but positive feed back about it and I cannot tell you how much that means to me. I also had a call from a national paper but we have agreed to talk again when I get to goal. It will give me the incentive that I need to get there.
Let me know what you think of the article.

Great article, Vicky!
You and your family must be so proud to see your story *in print*.
At least it's spreading the word that yes, Weight Watchers DO work. IF you are prepared to put in the effort!
And hey, congrats on becoming a page 3 girl, LOL....
