Lyn Ross was a mother to a young son when she was told her life was at risk because she was so obese.
Having been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes at 29, by the time she reached her thirties the condition was starting to have an impact on her everyday life. She was tired, lethargic, suffered extreme thirst, struggled to heal from infections, and her legs and muscles ached all the time.
But this wasn't the first time Lyn's weight had impacted on her life. She said she had been considered overweight since she was a child and started dieting in her teens. However, every time she lost weight it wasn't long before the pounds would pile on again.
