A mum who once tipped the scales at 25 stone has lost almost half her body weight so she can be the “best mum possible” to her young son.

Laura Weir said she struggled with low self-esteem after giving birth to her son, Osian, and would comfort eat pizzas, chocolate and other junk food.

But when her son was six months old, she decided to do something about her weight and joined her local slimming world group in MountainAsh, Cynon Valley.

In two years, which included 12 months of coronavirus lockdowns that stopped face-to-face classes, she lost an incredible 11 stone.

An incredible achievement Laura. Sending you the very best from us all here at Global247news.
