Gemma Naughton spent years trying to lose weight. At her heaviest she weighed almost 19 stone and had to wear a seatbelt extender whenever she flew abroad.
The 37-year-old tried all kinds of diets over the years but nothing seemed to stick. That was until she plucked up enough courage to join a gym and start classes with a personal trainer – eventually going on to shed an incredible seven stone.
Gemma, from Newton-le-Willows, south of Wigan, says her amazing weight loss journey started with a simple programme which initially focused on increasing her calories to help fuel her new training plan.
