Moment mum 'knew something had to change' before shedding 10 stone

A mum shed 10 stone after becoming breathless "even on the shortest of walks" with the dog.

Christine Barnett, from St Helens, dropped from a size 24 to a size 8 in 18 months, after following health and wellbeing brand exante’s 800-calorie diet plan. In August 2020, the 39-year-old weighed 21st 13lbs and when she bought her Cavapoo Goldie with husband Chris, Christine was disheartened by feeling breathless and unfit on every dog walk.

Christine said: “I wanted to give Goldie the long daily walks she deserved but I was panting and becoming short of breath, even on the shortest of walks. By the time I got home I was completely breathless and I knew something had to change, if not for myself, for my family and my dog. It was a huge reality check for me after years of struggling with my weight.
