I DID HAVE A THIN PERSON INSIDE!

Nurse Heather Campbell, 51, lost 6st 7lb, and now weighs 9st 9lb. The mother of three is divorced and lives in Ayr, scotland. HEATHER SAYS: My job in a busy hospital A&E department meant I’d grab meals when I could — chips in the dining room, chocolate from the vending machine or sweets from patients. At my heaviest I took size 20-22 bottoms and size 16-18 tops — and I’m only 5ft 3in tall. I couldn’t find any decent clothes and I felt frumpy all the time. Then in January 2015 a man asked for help lifting his disabled wife who’d fallen in a minibus outside. I ended up getting wedged between the bus seats — I was totally humiliated. I promptly joined Weight Watchers, as WW was then called, and lost 2st in a year. However, I then slipped back into my old ways and by October 2016, I’d put on a stone.

So I went back to WW, but persevered. By my 50th birthday in February 2018, I’d hit my 10st 10lb goal weight — and felt amazing.

I’ve since lost another stone, and I’m now a size 6-8. Having always been overweight I never thought there was a thin body inside!

I wish I’d lost it and kept it off years ago, but I am so glad I’ve done it now.
