A Belfast woman has opened up about her weight loss journey which saw her lose five stone in a matter of months.
Shannon Mitchell, 26, was given a fright after a GP explained that her BMI was sitting very high. She had gone to enquire about a breast reduction when she learned that she would need to lose a lot of weight to go ahead with it.
Hearing those words from a medical professional, gave Shannon the kick that she said she needed to take her weight seriously. After trying well known weight loss groups and years of yo-yo diets, nothing seemed to work.
