Lose 138 pounds in 7 months

Before and after pictures of woman who lost 10 stones or 138 pounds in 7 months.
Here’s how she did it:
AT 20 and a half stones, Joanne Illingworth couldn’t tie her own shoelaces.
But what really made her change her non-stop eating and lack of exercise was when doctors warned her she might never see her daughter grow up.
The 29-year-old had dangerously high blood pressure and was at risk of a stroke — and turned to a clinic she had read about in the YEP.
Seven months later she has lost 10 stones, dropped from a size 26 to a size 12 and is closing in on her target weight of 10 stones.
She is now looking forward to a new life filled with activities she could never do before — like swimming and horseriding with daughter Nadia, three, and scuba diving with her brother.
Joanne, who is 5ft 6ins and works at Ecotex textile recycling in Batley, said: “I feel ecstatically happy sometimes that I’m normal, that I’m not at risk of ill health in years to come.
“I want to do lots of different things that I never did before because I was so big.
“It stopped me doing a lot of things.
Even getting in and out of the bath and walking up and down stairs at home was hard.”
She said: “I looked at my life and my daughter and thought, ‘I don’t want to die’.”
She signed up with the Cosmetic Medical Clinic, Rothwell, Leeds, and since September has been following a strict meal-replacement system with treatments to help break down fat and help the skin spring back into shape.
She went on her first diet at 14, when she was already around 13 stones and went on to try Slimming World, WeightWatchers, the Atkins Diet, slimming patches, sprays and pills.
On holiday last summer she could barely squeeze into the plane seat, needed an extension to her seatbelt, then spent most of the week in her room, too embarrassed to be seen in swimwear.
She has now been so successful at losing weight the clinic is using her to advertise its new London branch.
The treatment can cost up to £200 a week.
