'I lost nearly four stone after feeling like I was in my 70s – I had no energy to move. 'I loved loading my plate and would enjoy at least one kebab and chips or KFC every week. 'I could easily drink a bottle of red wine or a gin and tonic, both on Fridays and Saturdays. 'I couldn't walk up a set of stairs without feeling out of breath, felt ashamed of my health and could barely play with my boy. Now, I'm a muscle mummy – and I love it.
