A woman has told of her life-changing weight loss journey after she felt "too embarrassed" to ask for a seatbelt extender on a plane. Claire Faulkner-Green, 46, said she got a "wake up call" when she tipped the scales at 17 stones on January 1, 2022.
"I knew I could not live like this, I was shocked," she said. She embarked on a weight loss programme, having lost two-and-a-half stone at the time of publication.
"I swam every single morning between 60 and 100 lengths every day at Retford Swimming Pool. I used to swim every day for 14 minutes to an hour.
