A Glasgow mum lost more than seven stones after struggling to fit into a dodgem car. Stella Houliotis says her 12-year-old son Krish had never seen her slim before she joined Weight Watchers after doctors told her she was too fat. Now the 56-year-old from Castlemilk says the massive weight-loss has transformed her life and she is now training to help others.
Stella Houliotis says her 12-year-old son Krish had never seen her slim before she joined Weight Watchers after doctors told her she was too fat. Now the 56-year-old from Castlemilk says the massive weight-loss has transformed her life and she is now training to help others.
Because of her medical issues and a family history of heart disease, her GP suggested the WeightWatchers health referral scheme and in September last year she began their eating plan. At her first weigh-in she tipped the scales at 19st 2lb. Just over a year later, she is now 11st 8.5lb. She said: "I never felt comfortable, or safe, getting into seats on things like the dodgems. It was as if I was squeezing my hips in. I also never enjoyed going on nights out because I felt self-conscious."
Her husband Rakesh was never bothered about her weight as long as she was happy but Stella laughed: "He says, 'I've got a new wife'."
