Hampshire gran sheds 10 stone in 18 months

A HAMPSHIRE grandmother is half the woman she used to be after shedding ten stone in 18 months.

Marjorie Boyle has her knees to thank for her dramatic weight loss after she was told doctors could not perform a knee replacement due to her size.

The 63-year-old grandmother who lives in Fordingbridge now no longer needs the knee surgery either thanks to her new weight of 8st 13lbs.

She said: During my first knee replacement operation there were a few complications and afterwards my doctor advised me that they would not be able to replace the other knee as it was too dangerous due to my weight.

That proved to be the final straw for Marjorie who joined her local Slimming World group at the Avonway community centre.

I had tried every diet over the years and I didnt think this would work because you eat so much food but its not really a diet, its all about eating the right foods.

Marjorie who has dropped from a dress size 30 to a size ten, says she is enjoying a new lease of life.
