A shop assistant made drastic life changes after she struggled to sleep at night.
Donna Ludlow from Southport weighed 17st 6lbs in April 2019, with a BMI of 44, took inspiration from a friend at work who recommended she joined her local Slimming World group. The 35-year-old made the decision when she noticed she would often stop breathing whilst she was sleeping throughout the night.
Donna, who now weighs 10st 1lbs, said: “I was sick of looking at myself in the mirror and worried about my health. I suffered with palpitations regularly which was very frightening indeed. I had a lot of aches and pains; particularly lower back issues and I was also getting sleep apnoea.
