Mom Loses Half Of Her Body Weight For Son’s Dream Wedding

To avoid embarrassing her son on his wedding day, a mother has revealed how she had to shed about half of her body weight.

Clare Howard, aged 48, has always been attacked for her weight, and when her son – Luke said he was getting married, she decided she doesn’t want to weigh 22 stone on her son’s wedding day.

Joining a Slimming World Group and cooking for herself a healthier food, Clare has shed 11 stone and has gone from size 26 to size 10. This, however, means the ex-karate enthusiast has taken up her favorite sport once again as she now exercises seven days per week.

Clare has since lost a whopping 11 stone in weight and has gone from a dress size 26 to a size 10

Clare achieved her weight loss hit after joining the Slimming World session in Cwmbwrla, Wales and speaking about her experience, Clare said: “ It all started when my son announced he was getting married and I honestly didn’t want to embarrass my son because I was so huge.”

Before Clare shed the pounds, she has been watching a program on Snowdon Railways and had always felt she wouldn’t be able to climb the mountain ever again

She added: “And by the time he got wedded in November, I had officially lost about six stones and four pounds.  When the photos were matched up, everyone was amazed and then I looked and saw that my son was proud of me. I didn’t think I would lose that much, but sincerely I’ve gone from 21 stone and 13 Pounds to 10 Stones and Seven and ½ pounds currently.”

Clare reached her target weight loss on her birthday and has insisted it is the best present she could ever get
