Tamsin Hatch's story

After my mum was scheduled for open heart surgery in August last year for a hereditary cholesterol condition, I was shocked into doing something about my weight.

At 19 stone 7.5lbs and size 22 I was miserable about my appearance.

My husband and I joined Slimming World with Alison Sait at Bebington Legion in the July of last year.

My husband left me while my mum was fighting for her life post surgery in ICU so it would have been very easy to give up and comfort eat but I've stuck to it as I owe it to my two beautiful kids to be around as long as I can.

Now I weigh 12 stone and I'm in size 12/14 - so much happier and healthier.

I still have a few stone to go until I reach my ideal BMI and personal target but it's not far off.

Claire Cabo's story

After years of yoyo dieting, trying every diet fad going, always failing and being miserable in my own skin, I joined a gym called BodyTech Fitness on the Wirral.

With the correct guidance and advice I became something I never imagined possible.

"I thought the only way my stomach would ever look flat would be to have surgery, in actual fact, all I needed to do was eat right and workout.

"I went from 2 meals a day to 6 and the weight fell off and I swapped Diet Coke for water, which was extremely hard as I had an extremely bad addiction to it and had to wean myself off it as it caused me to get the shakes, sweats and migraines.

"Since changing my lifestyle I have become so much more happier and definitely more confident."
