Mark's amazing journey to losing 10 stone

EP59: Mark's amazing journey to losing 10 stone Today I welcome Mark to the podcast to share his amazing story of weight loss. I hear how how severe illness prompted him to make serious changes to focus on his health and the success that decision has led to. Mark is a dad to his young daughter Harriet and during the episode we talk about how much of a motivation she has been for him. Although we almost joke about during the show, things like being able to navigate a soft play park if you're needed, or fitting down the slide to be able to enjoy special moments together are key memories as part of being a parent you should look forward to making together. The reality for someone struggling to manage their weight is that soft play, along with so many other day-to-day tasks can be difficult, if not impossible. This can really hurt as a parent and lead to a multitude of emotions from guilt, to shame, to a feeling of letting your child down. With this in mind and a period of being extremely unwell and in hospital, Mark decided enough was enough and took action. He joined his local Slimming World group and began losing weight.  We join Mark as he approaches his target of losing 10 stone and it's amazing to hear how much his life has changed thanks to the effort he has made. Mark is on Instagram: @mark_gets_thin and I'd love that you join me in celebrating his achievement!  I hope you enjoy the episode and would love that you join Mark, myself and the rest of the Weight Loss Warrior Tribe in our free Facebook group.
