Mrs. Kelly weighed 206 pounds when she joined Weight Watchers in 1987. She lost 71 pounds in six months and has keptit off. "Painful childhood memories are faded now because of all the wonderful things that have hap- pened to me since I found the self-confidence to stop eating and take a bite out of life," she says. Her proudest moment was when she participated in the Canadian Olympic torch relay on Boxing Day, 1987. "I couldn't even walk up two flights of stairs when I was heavy," she says. "Today, I have so much energy I do aerobics three times a week at the Prince Albert Hall and I walk every day." Mrs. Kelly's adventurous side began to show after losing the weight. With the encourage- ment of her sister-in-law she de- cided to put an ad in her former hometown newspaper's com- panions column. She met her husband Rob through the ad and is now the proud mother of two children. Mrs. Kelly shares her experi- ences with others who are fight- ing the battle of the bulge. She is the leader of the Port Perry Weight Watchers group which meets on Tuesday evenings at the Presbyterian Church.
