A mum who lost half her body weight using a 'life-saving' Slimming World programme signed up after worrying that she wouldn't 'be around for her kids'.
Before her transformation, Chris Hayward weighed 21 stones 3.5lbs and was a size 28-30 in clothes. However, it wasn't until some routine blood tests revealed the significant impact the weight was having on her health that the 65-year-old decided it was time to make a change.
Chris, from Greasby, Wirral, told the Liverpool Echo : "I went to my GP just for some routine blood tests and one came back as being really borderline for diabetes. I've got diabetes type two in my family and I'm thinking 'I don't want to go down that track if I can avoid it.'
