Mum says secret to losing nine stone was buying meal replacement shakes from Aldi

An Australian woman lost nine stone with one simple Aldi product.

Jackie Burrows, 53, shed the weight by drinking Aldi meal replacement shakes and exercising, reports say.

Ms Burrows, from Brisbane, Australia, piled on the pounds after having four children - leaving her no time to look after herself.

When she hit 127kg and a size 22, the mum decided to make a change.

She heard about a friend losing more than five stone through shakes and decided to give it a go.

According to 9Honey , she said: "I had never tried diet shakes or program weight loss. I didn't want to get fixed into weight loss programs and I didn't want to be noticed as a failure."

After replacing her breakfast with a shake she started to see results - and eventually switched to two meal replacement drinks a day.

She added: "I often put one in my drink cup/shaker and put in my handbag so I don't make bad choices when I am out."

The mother also adopted a healthy lifestyle, increasing her exercise and eating healthy food.

Ms Burrows said: "Getting active was the hardest part. I was the laziest person. I now exercise daily and have never missed, in all this time, a day of my exercise — I feel lost if I haven't done it!"

The Australian claims to have never felt happier and is confident she will keep the weight off.
