She said: "I saw a photo and it shocked me how big I looked. I tried a number of different ways to lose weight but they usually left me feeling hungry or miserable - or both, in fact.
"My family and friends are all amazed by how much I can eat and lose weight. I still eat all my favourite meals, like roast dinners."
Sharon lost 4lbs in her first week and says she was blown away that the changes she'd made had such a big impact so quickly.
Teresa lost 4.5lbs in her first week and has averaged a 2lb loss a week since. Although she says she is not at her target yet, Teresa is still having weekly losses.
