Clydebank mum who 'sounded like Darth Vader' lost seven stone and dropped five dress sizes in a year

A Clydebank mum who ‘sounded like Darth Vader’ after reaching 17-and-a-half stone has changed her life by losing over 100lbs in just one year.

Lorraine Gallacher regularly found herself in pain and out of breath when trying to climb the stairs, with the 40-year-old beginning her weight loss journey after she was warned by her doctor that her blood pressure was far too high for someone her age.

In a bid to avoid being put on medication, the mum-of-two was referred to her local WeightWatchers (WW) group by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde for 12 weeks.
