‘I lost 14st’

As a real-life journalist, you spend your days talking to people about their very personal stories. But sometimes, their stories crossover with your life too.

It was so inspiring to interview Slimming World’s Man Of The Year Aaron Walker, that I went back to SW myself afterwards and have so far lost a stone. I’m a third of the way to my target, which with chronic pain and limited mobility has often felt really impossible to do.

During our chat, Aaron said he didn’t know where to start and felt like he had so far to go. But he did it - losing more than 14st in the process and gaining his life back. Huge well done to you Aaron, no doubt you will keep inspiring people to help themselves, no matter how steep the journey - you absolutely deserve the MOTY, congratulations!
