Woman who was 'too big for treatment' loses seven-and-a-half stone with 'healthy swaps' for everyday items

Salford gran Laynie Nesbitt had been a yo-yo dieter for years, and had seen her weight continue to rise up to 19 stone. But in June 2020, a chance conversation would spark a life-changing journey that has seen Laynie lose seven-and-a-half stone in under a year.

Laynie, 58, has kept the weight off for the past two years, and now feels confident she has made lasting changes for a healthy lifestyle. Her transformation has been so inspiring that her husband and friends have all been inspired to follow her lead and are losing weight too.

Mum-of-five and gran-of-four Laynie admits she could hardly even walk without getting out of breath before her weight loss, and was borderline diabetic with high blood pressure. Now, after losing the weight she loves to hike up mountains and her bloods are at a healthy level.
