A mum who was left ‘eating her feelings’ after suffering with severe health problems says she has been given a new lease of life after losing six stone. Lauren Lowe needed strong pain medication just to get her through the day as she battled with IBS and gallbladder problems.
At her heaviest the 32-year-old was almost 18 stone (17st 10lbs) which made it more of a struggle for her to be the full-time, primary carer for her now five-year-old son, who has additional needs. The mum, from Rainworth in Nottinghamshire, couldn’t even get down the stairs without ‘crying in pain’, before she began her weight loss journey with diet and meal replacement brand, exante.
After ditching her high-carb diet of pizza, pasta, potatoes and takeaways every weekend she’s now a comfortable 11st 10lbs - and no longer suffers with IBS. She has been without the need for any pain medication for more than 18 months, and can finally run around the park with her son.
