Sharon, lisa and alice are living their best lives.
Chrissie de Dulin never lived to see the dramatic change in her three daughters, but two years on, they know she would be incredibly proud of how they turned their lives around.
In the midst of her cancer battle, the 67-year-old Christchurch mother urged her daughters to pay attention to their wellbeing.
What followed is a remarkable weight loss, with the Canterbury mums shedding 50kg between them, dropping up to six dress sizes and getting into the best shape of their lives.
“She would be looking at us and feel very blessed that we’ve managed to achieve what we have and that we’re living really healthy lives,” says eldest daughter Sharon Ross, who lost more than three dress sizes after joining homegrown programme Busy Mum Fitness, just as her mum was given weeks to live.
Now proudly showing their svelte bodies, Sharon (38), Lisa Harrison (36) and Alice Jackson (33) say they know they are honouring their mother’s dream to lead healthy lives.
While all three have slimmed down, it’s been a dramatic transformation for Lisa who, at 80kg, felt her life was at stake after her mother’s brave battle.
“My main focus was to become healthy so I would be around for my children,” says Lisa, who is mum to Jasper (12) and eight-year-old Zoey.
