A mum who spent £4,000 a year on takeaways has dropped four stone in six months and now looks unrecognisable.
Helen Buchanan, 40, used to eat takeaways and junk food each night, leaving her tipping the scales at 13 stone and wearing a size 18. To become a better example for her daughter Elliemae, 13, Helen decided to make a lifestyle change and joined a gym.
She also swapped junk food for healthier home-cooked meals. Helen said she began to enjoy exercise and became determined to become a bodybuilder.
