A hairdresser says she can finally be the mum she wants to after losing more than 13 stone. Natasha Gibbs, from Essex, dropped from a size 32 to a size 12, determined to be able to have fun and enjoy life with her son Jayden.
The 37-year-old knew something needed to change after being unable to fit on rides at theme parks or play football with Jayden, 11, who she vowed to be a good role model for. Natasha lost weight with diet and meal replacement brand exante’s products, by substituting her three main meals a day with nutritionally-complete, low-calorie shakes, pot meals, soups and bars.
Natasha, who dropped from 24st 4lbs to 10st 9lbs, said: “I was overweight for most of my life, I was a size 16 when I was 15-years-old, and I was about 18 stone in my 20s. I remember back then being told by a doctor I was dangerously overweight for someone with my 5ft 7inch frame, and that I was lucky not to have other serious health problems.
