She's the happiest and healthiest she's ever been
A Nottinghamshire mum has a "new lease of life" after going from a size 24 to a 14. Lauren Lowe, 32, from Rainworth, was always known as the "big girl" but was driven to lose weight so she could care for her son.
Lauren was put on painkillers for two years before having surgery to remove her gallbladder in 2019. She had to lose one stone in order to have the surgery. Lauren then realised she could no longer go on feeling the way she was. The biggest motivation was to lose weight for her son. In May 2020, she started the exante weight loss plan and consumed 800 calories for the first 12 weeks, before upping her calorie intake.
"After the first 12 weeks I stuck to the shakes but started having around 1,200 calories a day and I allowed myself some more leeway at weekends. After nine months I was fit enough to join the gym and start walking up to 10,000 steps a day, so I upped my calorie intake again, and then by May last year I had lost six stone.
