Weight loss: Family loses staggering 6½ stone between them and say people no longer recognise them
A FAMILY who lost over six stone between them say that people no longer recognise them following their staggering weight loss programme.
The McGillivray family ditched pub visits and takeaways in favour of family gym sessions - with staggering results.
Sue, 51, Roy, 56, and sons Ben, 24, and Simon, 28, joined the gym together to embark on a whole family body transformation getting gym-honed bodies in just six months.
The family previously dined on a diet of bacon and egg butties, boozy meals out and fat-laden takeaways.
But they ditched their calorie-laden treats for healthy meals and gym sessions with as well as family activity outings that upped their daily step counts.
In six months Sue has lost 3.5 stone, Roy, two stone, and Ben and Simon have lost a stone between them as well as building muscle.
For Sue the decision to lose weight came because of a history of family diabetes and she was concerned that she would meet the same fate if she continued as she was.
She told the : “After the death of my mum, because it was related to diabetes, it was really important to get myself sorted and not go down that same track.”
And after joining the Ultimate Performance Gym in Manchester , Sue began to see results almost immediately.
She continued: “Being overweight made me feel that I had lost myself. I felt like a big person had eaten a small person. I started noticing results within two weeks.”
And her husband and two sons were eager to join her, taking up a gruelling exercise routine devised by trainer Anthony Paulhe.
