Celebrating St Valentine’s Day can still be a treat if you and your loved one are trying to lose weight according to one Newmains couple.
Callum Wilson and Mark Dougan first met back in 2016 when both were at their lightest but fast forward to October 2020 and they found themselves walking through the doors of Newmains Church Hall determined to lose a few pounds ahead of their wedding this year.
It was definitely their cry for help as Callum and Mark had seen their weight increase, and between them they were nine stones heavier than when they’d first met.
Callum said: “We needed to do something and do it quick, given that we had already planned our wedding for October 2021.
“Our self-confidence had gone down the drain and the thought of getting in front of a photographer for our wedding photos made us both feel physically sick.
“We had tried various different diets throughout our four years together, but nothing had worked for us both, until we found Slimming World.”
Callum and Mark made a lifestyle change after the fabulous support from their consultant Ina Lawrie showed them how to shop, cook and eat differently.
Fifteen weeks into their weight loss journey, Mark and Callum have lost more weight than they ever thought was possible.
Callum has lost a total of 3 stone 7lbs and Mark 2 stone 2lbs.
“It has changed our lives for the better,” said Callum.
“We are never restricted in what we can eat, we’re in a new groove.”
Anyone ready to have their own fresh start for 2021 can contact Ina to book on 07969 565672 or log onto www.slimmingworld.co.uk for further information.
