A WOMAN who lost 13 stone in less than a year was hoping to inspire others to be healthy, this time last year.

Donna Goodall dropped ten dress sizes to reach her target weight of nine stone within 11 months. She previously weighed 22 stone. She decided to lose the weight in September 2016 because she felt uncomfortable with her lifestyle. The 5ft tall, 50-year-old said: “I have a happy GP and for the first time in my life, a healthy BMI.” She said that she felt “amazing” after achieving her target weight. She added: “I feel like a different person. “I have the confidence to do things I didn’t think I could do. “I’m thrilled. But it’s not just about that. If just one person who is in the same position I was, hears and decides to change it’ll be so worth it.

“Take heart, because you can do it.” “It’s something I will never ever regret" said Ms Goodall after 11 months of what she described as a lifestyle change.
