Weight loss: Woman shrunk from a size 16 to a size 12 in lockdown following this easy diet – Express
Posted: July 4, 2020 at 4:50 pm
Weight loss can be achieved in many different ways and exercising alongside a healthy lifestyle can help boost weight loss results. With the UK being in lockdown over the past few months, many have put on weight due to spending more time at home and exercise facilities being shut. One woman has shared her story on how she has shrunk two dress sizes following this diet plan.
Lauren Doyle is a 25 year old operating department practitioner from Windle, St Helens.
After being in a car crash back in 2015, doctors thought that she had developed underachieve thyroid, but was later diagnosed as fibromyalgia, a condition that causes pain and fatigue.
After attending her local Bodyline clinic, and spending lockdown to get back into shape, Lauren has now lost four stone and her fibromyalgia symptoms have cleared up.
Bodyline allows anyone the chance to lose weight safely from the comfort of their home.

Lauren said: Soon after the crash, I started to pile on weight. I went from being a confident 9st 11lbs to a depressed 18st 1lb woman, who just wanted to hide and sleep all day.
I did try dieting, swimming and everything else doctors suggested, but they couldnt put their finger on what was causing me to pile on weight. After months of testing and visiting specialists, I was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a condition that causes tiredness and constant pain all over the body.
I thought that would be a turning point but the doctors kind of brushed me off, and I was left to deal with my problems alone the only way I knew how - food. Things got a lot worse.
The bigger I got the more depressed I felt, and I tried to drown my feelings in takeaways and comfort eating - my weight spiralled and my life out of control. I felt like I was on my own, and I couldnt bring myself to leave the house and socialise like I used to.

However, with Laurens wedding just one year away, Lauren decided that enough was enough and took a trip to her local Bodyline Clinic.
She was prescribed a medication used together with dieting and exercising to help treat obesity however Lauren also stuck to exercising regularly to reach her desired goals.
Together, Lauren and her partner Tom decided to try the Couch to 5K challenge, a fitness challenge designed to help those increase their fitness levels gradually and healthily.
The app is a running plan for absolute beginners. It involves three runs a week, with a day of rest in between and helps beginners by having walk breaks throughout their workout routine.
Exercise is crucial in losing weight and its benefits extend just losing weight. It can also help increase your metabolism and help you feel more motivated.
In order to lose weight your calorie intake must be in a deficit meaning you are burning more calories than you are consuming and exercise is a great way of being able to help with weight loss while not cutting out every food group from your diet.
The NHS recommend around one hour of exercise per day but you may want to do more than this if you are looking to shed those lockdown pounds.
She said: On our first run, I was so disappointed in myself and felt embarrassed by the people that stared at us in the park. Although the app only makes you run for a minute at a time, I was exhausted and didnt want to try again.
Tom was my rock and pushed me to try again with him. The second run was much smoother. Now, just two months later, were both able to run 5K with no problem.
Im so proud of how far weve come in such a short amount of time - lockdown has been a Godsend!
Although our wedding has been pushed back during the pandemic, were still looking forward to it. Im even having to get my dress made smaller - from a size 16 to a size 12. Ive hit my target weight and now I want to tone up and lose a little more. Bodyline has helped my life back on track.
The most amazing part of it is that my fibromyalgia symptoms have almost completely cleared as Ive lost weight, and Im no longer in constant pain.
Im going back to university in September to finish my degree. I feel like a new woman.
