Fiona has shown the world that with a little hard work, you can still lose weight without medical intervention! ๐๐๐
Fiona, a mum-of-three lost over 20st without surgery or jabs after devastating rollercoaster incident. ๐ฏ
She has spoken about the devastating moment when she was removed from a rollercoaster "in front of hundreds" after being informed she posed a risk to others. Fiona Carter had boarded the ride during a day trip to a theme park, only to discover the safety bar wouldn't close over her overweight frame. ๐๐
Mortified by the incident, the now 46-year-old withdrew from public life, shunning meetings with friends and other social gatherings. ๐
"The safety bar wouldn't close over me, so I was told the ride couldn't run and that I would be putting others at risk. I just wanted the ground to swallow me up."
"After the experience at the theme park, I stopped going on days out. I hid in the background of every photo, avoided social situations and even simple activities with my children became painful reminders of the life I felt I couldn't live. I was existing, not living, and I reached a point where I couldn't take it anymore."
But convinced weight loss surgery was her only option, she joined Slimming World after being informed she needed to shed three stones before the procedure could take place.
Today, she has lost more than half her body weight - and all without any medical intervention. After realising how successful she could be following the healthy eating programme, she declined surgery and went on to lose a total of 20st 8lbs, becoming Slimming World's Greatest Loser 2026. ๐ฑ๐๐ฅณ
She said: "I wanted a healthier, long-term solution. I didn't want another quick fix or temporary diet. I wanted to learn how to eat well, feel confident and set a positive example for my children. I longed to take my children out and enjoy life alongside them. Slimming World gave me the belief I needed to make that change and it became the turning point in my life."โค๏ธ
Fiona is an inspiration and she should be so proud of herself!
