A mum who used to get breathless after running around with her kids for just 30 seconds says she was determined to look and feel good for her wedding day. Amy Keane found the motivation to drop 10 stone in less than two years when her partner popped the question. At her largest, Amy weighed 20 stone 5 pounds and was a UK dress size 20. Despite trying various diets and detoxes, nothing seemed to work, and cravings took over.
When her partner proposed, Amy was determined to finally lose the weight for good. She has now lost over 10 stone in less than two years. Amy shared, “I didn’t want to just look good on my big day, I wanted to feel good, too.” The healthcare worker from County Meath, Ireland, expressed how she used to envy other mums rushing around after their kids and wished she could do the same.
In July 2022, Amy embarked on a program called Body Slims, involving calorie counting and committing to at least one hour of exercise per day. She eliminated triggers from her house and reintroduced them gradually without temptation. By their wedding in February 2023, Amy had shed three stone. She continued her weight loss journey to reach a UK dress size six. Amy’s next goal is to run a marathon while maintaining her newfound fitness.
Amy advises others to start their journey towards a healthier lifestyle now, emphasizing that it’s never too late. She believes that keeping the weight off has made her feel incredible and encourages others to make positive changes for themselves and their families.
