A woman from Newark has said that she has 'gained her life back' after losing six stone in less than a year. Laura-Jo Webster was determined to lose the weight after she caught coronavirus in 2020 and was struggling with long-Covid.
The 45-year-old was told she would need bariatric surgery to help her with the effects of the disease. Laura-Jo decided that was not the right option for her and so re-joined Weight Watchers in an effort to prove doctors wrong.
The insurance consultant joined Fernwood Weight Watchers in August 2021, the same group she went to in 2001 where she had previously lost six stone. Laura-Jo said: "I re-joined following that horrific hospital appointment and off course, post COVID, had to become a fully paid up member.
