Woman drops five stone and buys her first home after turning weight loss into a business

A 26-year-old woman who dropped five stone of “freshers’ weight” has now purchased her first home thanks to her dieting know how. Katy Postlethwaite, from Norwich, had always struggled with her weight, but when she started living independently at the University of East Anglia in 2014 the pounds piled on and soon the once sporty teen had ballooned to 15st over three years.

Determined to lose the weight, Katy joined Cambridge Diet Plan in May 2017, shedding five stone and hitting her target weight of 10st in the summer of 2019. So when Katy hit financial hardship after graduation, the slimmer decided to turn her success into a business and became a consultant, purchasing her first home in November last year thanks to her slimming know how.

“It’s been life changing,” said Katy. “It sounds corny, but I feel like the old me. My confidence has skyrocketed, and I’ve been able to turn something I love into a business.”
