I lost 14 stone without doing exercise - I can finally play with my kids

Janine Hurst, a mother of three from Rotherham, recounts her journey of losing over 14 stone (around 178 pounds) through dietary changes alone, without exercising. At her heaviest, she weighed 25 stone (around 312 pounds), wore a UK dress size 30, and relied heavily on unhealthy foods like sausage rolls, pork pies, and greasy takeaways, costing £6,200 annually. Her struggles with comfort eating worsened after two of her children were diagnosed with autism, leading to poor health and mobility issues, including a dislocated shoulder. After a wake-up call regarding her health and the need to be present for her children, she adopted a healthier diet, starting with an English breakfast made with low-calorie spray, followed by salmon and salad for lunch, and roast dinners with vegetables. Within a year, she lost six stone (around 78 pounds) and now weighs 10 stone 6 pounds (around 132 pounds), wearing a dress size 12. This transformation has allowed her to actively engage with her children, participate in activities like TikTok dances, and regain confidence at the school gates.
