A mum-of-four who tried over 10 extreme diets in 10 years has lost six stone - after taking up hula hooping. 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''.
But despite her best attempts, Laura, from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, 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.
