Michelle on how she lost weight
The Scot said: “I started to try and lose weight. All these diets I hear are amazing. But the more I was trying to lose weight, the more I was gaining weight.
“I was looking at myself in the mirror and I should be thinking, this body has given you two kids. But I was really miserable.”
She then added: “It isn’t about what the scales say. It’s not about the label that’s on your clothing, it’s finding that moment where you can look at yourself in the mirror and say, I really like you.”
The mum met life coach Liza Hardingbuck, and they devised a plan and began weight training and swimming – with her now losing nine stone.
