A mum who tried more than 10 extreme diets in 10 years has lost six stone - with the help of an unusual hobby. Laura Johnson, 42, claims to have tried every ''faddy diet going'' during her decade long battle to shed excess baby weight.
During that time she tried Slimming World, SlimFast, Weight Watchers, juicing and calorie counting - with no success. The police dispatcher weighed herself every day in a bid to lose weight but ''nothing worked''.
Despite her best attempts, Laura, tipped the scales at 16st 5lbs and a dress size 20. A friend recommended she look into gastric sleeve surgery in January 2022, and Laura had the £10k procedure six months later.
