170 Pounds Losing Weight - Success Story

A woman who had resigned herself to "being a bigger lady" after reaching 310 pounds decided enough was enough when she overheard a stranger making a vile comment about her in a nightclub. Fran Drake, now 31, struggled with her size for much of her life after turning to comfort food when cruel school bullies nicknamed her 'Fat Fran'.

Over the years she tried a handful of diets, including the 5:2 diet, but none of them kept the pounds off for long and she was stuck around a size 24. So she decided just to accept her body, and before long her confidence grew dramatically.

She said: "If I couldn't change myself physically, I was going to change myself mentally. Just because you're not a size 8 doesn't mean you can't be happy in yourself."

And in 2011 – then a size 18 - she started dating Matt after they got talking at a Christmas party. "Bagging myself a fit man really reinforced the idea that I could be happy in my own skin without losing any weight,” she said. "I was never confident when it came to dating before I met Matt. I always ended up with men that didn't appreciate me and I thought I didn’t deserve any better because of my weight. But the problem was that after settling into a happy relationship and feeling more confident in myself, I started to eat more and more."

Though her relationship with Matt was great, Fran saw her diet go from bad to worse and on a typical day, she would eat 3,500 calories a day – almost double the NHS recommended daily amount for women of 2,000 cals.

 

Things reached an all time low when she was flicking through photos from the trip of a lifetime to Walt Disney World, Florida, in April 2016, and was reduced to tears at realising just how overweight she had become. From there, Fran, of Bournemouth, Dorset, ditched her diet of Pop Tarts and cheese-laden pasta bakes, and signed up Custom Keto plan ( Read more : Custom Keto Explained on Fox News) Now, she has shed a mammoth 170 pounds , slimming to a 140 pounds – and has even fulfilled her ambition of becoming a trainee firefighter.

 "I convinced myself before jetting off to Florida that I'd lost enough weight to finally look good on holiday, when in reality I'd lost a few pounds and was still grossly overweight. Now I'm healthier than ever, I'm finally training with the fire brigade and doing something meaningful with my life for the first time in what feels like forever. Thanks for Keto"  She said: "It was pretty intense getting this far. I had to haul equipment weighing up to 40kg (6st 2lb) and was taking part in a bleep tests - something I thought I'd left behind in my school days. "It's all been worth it though, and I feel like after almost 20 years of being nothing more than the fat girl, I'm finally going to be giving something back to the community and keeping fit at the same time."
