A fizzy pop 'addict' who guzzled 10 cans a day and could barely manage walking from her car to the front door has taken up cheerleading - after shedding a whopping 12 stone. Clair Jones says she began to pile on the pounds during her first pregnancy with son Garyn, now 25, scoffing a family-sized bag of crisps for breakfast and chomping on bags of sweets.
These unhealthy habits saw her weight balloon to 23st 1lbs, until she was only able to fit into size 30 clothing and was unable to work. The self-professed 'greedy' 49-year-old said she'd 'accepted' she'd always be overweight as the word diet scared her and she hated vegetables.
But when two pals joined Slimming World in 2020, she said she felt 'left out' and decided to sign up too. The mum-of-two managed to shed an incredible 12st, slimming down to a slinky size 14 and tipping the scales at just 11st 1lbs.
