A woman has said an effective weight loss plan saved her life after 20 years of being a size 24 and in the weeks leading up to health checks gaining even more weight.
Chris Hayward from Greasby, in the UK, said that when she was at her heaviest she weighed 21 stones 3.5lbs and was a size 28-30 in clothes.
However, after some routine blood tests revealed the real impact of her weight on her health, Chris decided to work hard to lose it and signed up for a Slimming World programme.
