There are lots of reasons to change your diet if you are overweight, but for Neil and Caroline Bowers, it was their two little sons who finally motivated them to change.
Their story really highlights how crippling being overweight can be in all areas of life. But, with the right diet, mindset and a motivating factor, great things can be achieved.
Neil and Caroline wanted to become the best parents they could. And, together they lost more than 9 stone (57kg) between them -- an amazing achievement, which has totally transformed their family life.
I wanted to be the kind of dad who could run and kick a football around, not one who struggled to even get out of a chair and had to watch from the sidelines. Without doubt, the best thing about losing weight is that's who I've become. We love going for family walks and playing with the children - now it's them saying they're tired not us.
So, how did they manage to lose so much weight?
The couple started following Slimming World's Food Optimising eating plan, making home-cooked meals, and going to their local Slimming World group meetings for support.
What strikes me most about this couple is how they are now so much more active as a result of their weight loss, enjoying family life, and feeling happier and healthier as a result.
Have you been successful in losing weight? What was the motivating factor, which finally helped you to shift the weight?
