A mum who tried extreme diets for a decade with no success says she's amazed after hula hooping helped her finally drop 10 stone. Laura Johnson, 42, said she had attempted every ''faddy diet going'' during her long battle with her weight.
In a bid to shed the pounds gained during her most recent pregnancy, mum-of-four Laura tried Slimming World, SlimFast, Weight Watchers, juicing and calorie counting - all with no success.
She said she would step on the scales every day to encourage her, but ''nothing worked'', reports Wales Online. Laura, from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, weighed in at 16st 5lbs and a dress size 20 and knew something needed to change.
