Llandrindod Wells dental nurse shows off staggering 8-stone weight loss
A dental nurse from Llandrindod Wells has shared the details of her weight loss journey in the national press after dropping eight stone in preparation for her wedding.
Bethan Coles, 28, decided to embark upon a quest to lose weight before tying the knot after putting on 4 stone during the early part of her relationship with husband, Lee. Bethan, who had been bullied as a child for being bigger than the other children in her class, went up to 20 stone after discovering a shared love of food and baking when she met Lee. After suffering from back pain, which resulted in her taking time off work, Bethan decided to do something about her weight and started counting calories and eating healthily.
At one point, Bethan was a size 24, but after 18 months of watching what she ate, she had lost 3 stone. Having initially lost weight, she fell back into her old eating habits, gaining a stone. By January 2017, Bethan had decided she needed to take more dramatic steps, and with a goal weight in mind, she joined Slimming World. Shortly after, Lee proposed, and Bethan set her sights on losing weight for the wedding, which was booked for May 2019. Now, Bethan is a size 12 and she has lost 8 stone.
Having lost the weight, Bethan said that she is much more confident and energetic, she enjoys work more, and she feels much happier and healthier.
