A new study at the UW-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health is recruiting participants to test whether involving a persons significant other in their weight loss helps the process.

The study, Partner2Lose, comes after increased public interest in quarantine weight loss trends, such as Beat Quarantine 15 and Quarantine Lean. They started due to increased weight gain during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is clear that many people want to do something to improve diet and exercise during these challenging times, said UW Health in a statement. The organization noted that while people are working from home, essential workers on the frontlines, at home more because they are in a high-risk group, unemployed or caring for relatives, many people are eating more and exercising less since the pandemic began.

Limited gym access and decreased free time also contributes to weight gain causing UW Health physicians and researchers to be concerned about the potential consequences of significant weight gain such as an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes.

People are clearly worried about the effects of the safer-at-home orders, said Dr. Corrine Voils, professor at the School of Medicine and Public Health and study lead. I worry the people who have gained weight are going to take risky paths to try to lose it or try things that just dont work in the long run.

The weight loss study requires participants to have a partner, but participants are randomized to participate either alone or with their partner in attending classes and personal consultations with a nutritionist. The patient-only group learns a curriculum about weight loss. The partner group learns weight loss and communication skills.

Studies have demonstrated that several options are safe and effective for long-term weight loss including a healthy diet and increased exercise, Voils said. These strategies are part of the Partner2Lose study.

Gov. Tony Evers office told the Wisconsin Restaurant Association it is compiling a list of businesses whose employees tested positive for COVID-19 to fulfill an open records request, not because it intended to publicly identify them, the groups executive vice president says.

The WRA, Wisconsin Grocers Association and Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce this week sent the guvs office and the Department of Health Services letters raising alarm bells about the suggestion the administration planned to publish the names of businesses and the number of COVID-19 cases contracted by their employees.

WRAs Susan Quam told WisPolitics.com the guvs office told her the list was being compiled in response to an open records request and it wasnt something DHS was proactively doing on its own. Quam said that doesnt diminish the WRAs concern about the information being made public.

We do believe that whoever is going to get this information, based on this request, that it still can be easily misconstrued by the public or by whatever entity is going to use it in implying that businesses are unsafe because they had employees who tested positive, Quam said.

Evers office declined to comment, instead referring questions to DHS.

We have no immediate plans to list businesses with COVID-19 positives on our website, said DHS spokeswoman Elizabeth Goodsitt.

She said the agency has received hundreds of records requests and emails relating to businesses that the records custodians and legal team are currently working through to determine what DHS legally must withhold.

All three groups sent their letters to the guv on Wednesday. In its message, the WRA said it had heard from multiple sources that DHS will release the names of businesses that had two or more employees test positive for COVID-19 and had heard the information was expected to be released July 3.

The conservative Empower Wisconsin reported Wednesday that businesses with two or more COVID-19 cases would be outed by DHS, which the outlet reported would post the names.

Several GOP lawmakers seized on the report with Sen. Kathy Bernier, R-Chippewa Falls, writing on Twitter DHS Secretary Andrea Palm should be fired if the agency posts the names of businesses with multiple coronavirus cases.

Thirty-six Wisconsin counties are ranked high by DHS for COVID-19 activity.

Counties hit with both a high burden of cases and a growing trajectory are Brown, Dane, Milwaukee and Walworth. Those four counties alone accounted for 1,057, or over 57 percent of the weekends newly confirmed COVID-19 cases.

In terms of infection ratios, Milwaukee emerged again as the states largest hotspot among other southeastern counties. In three days, Milwaukee County added 584 new COVID-19 cases to its count, giving the county a cumulative total of 12,233 confirmed cases and the highest infection ratio of 12.8 per 1,000 people.

The second-largest hotspot in the state is Brown County which added 81 new COVID-19 cases in three days for a cumulative total of 3,018 confirmed cases and an infection ratio of 11.6 per 1,000 people.

Racine County has an infection ratio of 11.3 per 1,000 people and a cumulative total of 2,217 confirmed COVID-19 cases after adding 30 cases in three days. Kenosha Countys infection ratio is 9.4 per 1,000 people and cases number 1,586 an increase of 55 cases in three days.

Walworth (6.7), Rock (5.6) and Dodge (5.5) counties follow.

And in terms of cases, Dane County went from ranking fourth on Thursday to third yesterday with 2,386 cumulative confirmed cases an increase of 325 in three days. It has an infection ratio of 4.5, up from 3.9 on Thursday.

The Northeast, South Central and Southeast Healthcare Emergency Readiness Coalition regions of Wisconsin are labeled as both high case burden and growing trajectory.

MON AM News: UW-Madison to test if persons significant other helps their weight loss process; Holiday weekend brings record COVID-19 cases -...

Adele Celebs from Adele to Pippa Middleton reportedly love the trendy Sirtfood Diet, but can it help you lose weight? Here, experts explain what the diet involves.

In early May, Adele dropped a shockerbut it wasnt the new album we were ready for (and still waiting for, tbh). Instead, she debuted a totally new look on her birthday, showing off her dramatic weight loss transformation on Instagram while wearing a little black dress.

Though Adele didnt nod to her weight loss in the posts caption, she did speak to a fan about her weight loss journey back in January while she was vacationing in Anguilla. According to People, Adele shared that shed lost about 100 pounds, and while she hasnt made any public statements about how shes lost the weight, several sources have claimed that her new lifestyle reportedly revolves around a trendy eating plan: the Sirtfood Diet.

In January, the New York Post reported that Adele had lost 50 pounds by following the eating plan (and her name was originally attached to the diet back in 2016). A former trainer of the star also told The Sun that she believes the changes in Adele's physique come down to "90 percent diet."

And Adele isn't the diet's only fan. The Sirtfood Diet has allegedly received love from a number of celebs in addition to the "Someone Like You" singer, including Pippa Middleton and famous athletes like former pro boxer David Haye.

The short version: The Sirtfood Diet is said to be rich in foods that contain a particular nutrient that helps trigger genes in the body connected to fat loss and fat storage (more on all this in a minute). And some people say they love it because there are some pretty delicious foods that have these special nutrients (hi, wine and chocolate), so you don't feel deprived.

But...is the Sirtfood Diet too good to be true? Here's everything you need to know about the oh-so-buzzy-right-now weight-loss method, with input from nutrition experts Caroline Apovian, MD, director of the Nutrition and Weight Management Center at the Boston Medical Center, and Edwina Clark, RD, head of nutrition and wellness for Yummly.

The diet comes from the book of the same name. The authorsAidan Goggins and Glen Mattenof The Sirtfood Diet advise eating mostly foods rich in sirtuins, a type of protein in plant foods. "The eating plan itself is designed to 'turn on' the sirtuin genes (particularly SIRT-1), which are believed to boost metabolism, increase fat burning, fight inflammation, and curb appetite," says Clark.

Early studies suggest that calorie restriction and resveratrol (a polyphenol found in foods like grapes, blueberries, and peanuts), activate the SIRT-1 gene, and these two principles underpin the Sirtfood approach to eating.

The diet lasts a total of three weeks and is divided into two phases.

Once those three weeks are up, there's no set plan to follow. To continue on the Sirtfood path, all you have to do is tweak each of your meals to include as many Sirtfoods as possible. Exercise is also encouraged (30 minutes of activity, five days a week), but getting sweaty isn't the main focus of the weight-loss plan.

Though the diet may require you to consume foods you maybe don't on the regular, the meals aren't any less tasty. Potential meals you can have while sticking to the Sirtfood Diet include a celery and blue cheese soup, chicken and kale with spicy salsa, and butternut pumpkin with buckwheat. All three of these recipes are found in the The Sirtfood Diet: The Ultimate Sirtfood Diet Book For Beginners, a recipe book for people new to the diet, but you can also grab inspo from other recipe books or research online. The Sirtfood Diet's website also provides a few meal options, like a baked salmon salad with creamy mint dressing and baked potatoes with spicy chickpea stew.

As for the green juice, which is huge component of the diet, you'll need to have a juicer handy to make it. Here's the recipe:

What foods are considered "Sirtfoods"?

Sirtfoods are any food that is rich is the sirtuin protein, which is type of plant-based protein that has shown some promise in clinical studies to improve metabolic health. Sirtfoods include:

You can get a complete list of Sirtfoods recommended on the diet within the book.

So, can you lose weight on the Sirtfood Diet?

The Sirtfood Diet includes many nutritious foods that are beneficial for weight loss, such as celery, kale, green tea, Medjool dates, lean chicken, lean red meat, and parsley, says Dr. Apovian. The diet also restricts or eliminates many foods that could lead to weight gain, such as refined flours, added sugars, and processed foods with little to no nutritional value. And thanks to that ridiculously low calorie intake, followers will likely lose weight provided they stick to the plan, she says.

"Evidence to date suggests that caloric restriction and intermittent fasting can be an effective strategy for weight loss and improving metabolic health," says Clark. "However, this may not be appropriate for everyone," she says.

There have been no studies done on humans that examine the Sirtfood Diet's effects on weight loss and health, but researchers have done studies on the effect of sirtuin proteins in animals. Sirtuins may play a role in slowing down the aging process and extending lifespan, particularly SIRT1 and SIRT6, per a 2014 study conducted on mice.

An older study, conducted on mice in 2004, found that an increase in sirtuin levels led to fat loss. Though both of these studies concluded in promising results, they don't guarantee that the results would also apply to humans.

Are there any downsides to the Sirtfood Diet?

The long-term sustainability of this plan is questionable. Once you're past the first few weeks, there's no eating strategy to follow other than adding more Sirtfoods to each meal. This makes the diet much more flexible than most, which is a huge perk, but a three-week long stretch of deprivation could easily lead to overeating during phase two, ultimately placing you back at square one.

Even if you're uber-disciplined, this is still a tough diet to follow. "A mere 1,000 calories will leave most people feeling very hungry," says Dr. Apovian. And if you're not a fan of green juice, a staple of the first week, that will make you even hungrier, she says. Also, since most of the weight loss in phase one is water weight, it will come right back on once you resume normal eating, she says.

According to Men's Health, eating fewer calories can come with its own troubles. If you're not used to eating less throughout your day, you may also experience fatigue, nausea, impaired mental focus, and headaches.

Plus, following any diet that doesn't include a healthy amount of protein (e.g., during the first week of the Sirtfood Diet), may result in muscle loss and a slower metabolism, says Dr. Apovian, making it harder to manage your weight. To lose weight and keep it off, building muscle through eating plenty of protein and working out with weights is paramount.

On top of all that, research on SIRT-1 activating foods is still very much in its infancy, so it's unclear whether consuming polyphenol-rich foods has a substantial impact on weight in everyone. "Weight is a multi-faceted concept, involving complex interactions between our unique genetic makeup and our diet, movement patterns, sleep habits, and emotional state," notes Clark.

Ultimately, eating a diet rich in a variety of healthy foods, including lean protein sources, different fruits and vegetables, and whole grains is a healthier, more sustainable way to lose weight and keep it off, says Dr. Apovian.

The bottom line: The approved foods in the Sirtfood Diet are low in calories and high in nutrients, which is great for weight loss. However, this particular diet may be restrictive and tough to maintain. Talk to a doc you trust about whether the plan is right for you before starting it.

Adele's Dramatic Weight Loss Is Reportedly Tied To These Metabolism-Boosting Sirtfoods - MSN Money

As we are stuck at home due to the lockdown, we tend to eat more unhealthy foods and spend more time doing nothing. And most of us are already seeing the result of this sedentary lifestyle in our waistline. Looking for the best ways to shed those extra inches? Going to the gym is not an option now. But you can do at-home exercises and control your diet to prevent weight gain or reduce those extra kilos. There are also certain foods that can help with weight loss. Oat and rye bran are one of them. Also Read - Weight loss: This is how ginger diet will help you battle the bulge

A new study, published in the Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, suggested that consumption of dietary fibre from oat and rye bran can help reduce weight gain and hepatic inflammation by increasing the growth of beneficial microbes in the intestines. The study was jointly conducted by researchers from the University of Eastern Finland, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and the University of Hong Kong. Also Read - Want to reduce facial fat? These food habits will help

Previous studies have already linked consumption of oat, rye and other whole-grain products to decreased inflammation and improved glucose, lipid and adipose tissue metabolism. They are also known to reduce the risk of obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases and type-2 diabetes. Also Read - Try the lacto-vegetarian Indian diet for sustained weight loss

For the study, the research team fed mice with a high-fat Western diet for 17 weeks. They then divide two groups who were fed the same diet enriched with 10 per cent of either oat or rye bran. This study especially focused on the gut microbial metabolites relevant to the development of fatty liver disease, which is often linked to obesity. The microbial metabolites were assessed by measuring cecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), ileal and faecal bile acids, and the expression of genes related to tryptophan metabolism.

The researchers found that both bran fibres enhanced the production of SCFAs, which improved gut integrity, and reduced liver inflammation. Moreover, both oat and rye supplementation was found to reduce weight gain associated with a high-fat diet, the researchers noted.

For years, grains have been a major part of our diet. But high intake of refined grains has been shown to cause health problems like obesity and inflammation. So, opt for whole grains, which can provide multiple health benefits. Whole grains are high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and protein. It is the bran the hard, outer shell that provides most of the fiber in whole grains.

Eating whole grains is associated with various benefits, including a lower risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. The fiber in whole grains can improve digestion by giving bulk to stools as well as a lower risk of constipation. Some researches have also suggested that whole grains can prevent cancer. Whole grains strongest anticancer benefits are seen against colorectal cancer, one of the most common types of cancer.

You can add whole grains to your diet in many ways. You make a cooked porridge out of oatmeal or other grains, sprinkle toasted buckwheat groats on yogurt, make polenta out of whole-grain cornmeal, add barley to vegetable soups, etc.

Want to lose some weight? Add oat and rye bran to your diet - TheHealthSite

As lockdowns begin to ease across the world, plenty of us have only interacted with friends and colleagues on video calls for the last few months. It's no surprise people are now looking to lose weight: without having to leave the house (or even dress properly from the waist down), "lockdown weight gain" has become a real worry for many.

Some people might want to lose belly fat to get back to the way things were, while others might be using this lockdown period to make a real lasting change to their health and fitness habits. With gyms currently off-limits, here are a trio of common sense, science-backed health hacks to start losing weight faster.

It sounds almost too simple, but drinking a single pint of water can have an immediate weight-loss effect.

The scientific Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found drinking just one pint of water increases your metabolic rate, which means your body will burn more calories while at rest. After drinking 500ml of water, the study recorded metabolic rates improving by up to 30%, with the benefits lasting for one hour.

It's a great way to lose belly fat: often, we confuse thirst with hunger and get "snackish" when dehydrated, so drinking lots of water also curbs our appetites in addition to raising our metabolic rate. Drinking pints of water in regular intervals throughout the day will result in you feeling less hungry and burning more calories, all without lifting a finger.

It's long been thought there's a link between a lack of sleep and increased appetite. If you have less energy while you're tired, you're naturally going to try and grab more energy from food. However, the connection between sleep and appetite runs even deeper than we thought.

One researcher from the University of Washington found lack of sleep interferes with the production of leptin and ghrelin, the two hormones in our bodies responsible for regulating appetite. Sleep doesn't just recharge our batteries, preventing us from getting that energy elsewhere: it also has a direct hand in appetite regulation.

Second Nature, a new online habit change programme commissioned by the NHS, recommends getting between seven and nine hours sleep each night.

With the stresses of a global pandemic outside your door, it's easy to turn to a glass of wine, beer or gin and tonic to take the edge off. However, the more we drink, the more we disrupt our body's approach to food.

A study in the journal Nature Communications reveals why so many drinking sessions end up with a late-night burger or kebab: alcohol switches the brain into "starvation mode", simulating hunger and encouraging us to eat more.

Combined with the fact lots of alcoholic drinks like beer and wine are chock-full of calories, and it's easy to see why an increase in our alcohol consumption also increases our waistline,

She will mostly stay quiet on her diet and exercise plan to stop it being fixated on.

Speaking to The Sunday Times, she said: It's a personal thing for me, and I think people get obsessive with it.

"Everybody knows what leads to a healthy lifestyle, but it's not up to me to give you a blow-by-blow account of what I've eaten that day. It's not helpful, and it's not what's important.

Weight Loss Drinks, Global Market Expected to Witness the Highest Growth 2026 - 3rd Watch News

Gregg Wallace

Gregg Wallace has transformed his lifestyle amid the coronavirus lockdown.

The 55-year-old host of 'MasterChef' has managed to lost four stone in recent months and Greg has revealed the secret to his dramatic weight loss.

He said: "I have changed my habits for life.

"I've lost four stone and there is no way right now I would eat a fry-up. I couldn't tuck into a vindaloo like I used to, I just wouldn't want it.

"If I am going to eat pizza I make it myself. I still like a glass of wine or beer.

"But can you remember when you had your first puff of a cigarette, or first drink?

"If we can convince ourselves beer, wine and tobacco taste OK, it's far easier to convince your body that the apple, banana and glass of water are nice.

"In the end you don't feel like you want the bad stuff."

Gregg also revealed he has a "fantastic working relationship" with his 'MasterChef' co-host John Torode.

He told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "We have a fantastic working relationship, spend a lot of time with each other over a year, then give ourselves a lot of space when we aren't working together.

"I don't know if anyone has written a pamphlet on what makes a successful TV couple, but no one would argue with the success of me and John on 'MasterChef'."

Gregg previously claimed he feels he has "knocked 10 years off" after shedding four stone.

He said: "I'd never suggest a diet that was going to leave you hungry. It's about filling yourself up with good food with good ingredients and exercise.

"I know I look good now compared to those days when I had a beer belly, but I also feel incredible. I feel like I have knocked at least 10 years off."

Gregg Wallace reveals secrets to weight loss - The List

As we're coming out of lockdown, many of us are looking for ways to get fitter and shed some of pounds.

Whilst staying indoors and working from home, it was easy to grab yummy snacks from the fridge and order pizza and Indian takeaways, as there were no other options to eating out.

Plus, gyms, leisure centres and weight loss groups have been closed and a lot of classes and groups have been moved online, also adding to the difficulties of losing weight.

But despite this, some determined weight loss superstars have utilised their spare time to learn new recipes and cook from scratch, take up a new hobby or start exercising outdoors.

Some have even joined up to an online weight loss group for the first time.

So if you need some motivation, have a look at some of the incredible transformations below.

If you have an inspirational story to share, get in touch here.

A mother of five from Plymouth has shed a whopping six and a half stone, which has had a drastic effect on her mental health.

Just over a year ago, Jemma Jones was a "complete recluse" and tried to "hide" herself under baggy clothing, making every effort to avoid being seen by friends or family.

The 32-year-old said that she struggled with suicidal feelings as she was not happy with how she looked or felt about herself.

In January 2019, Jemma decided to start her health journey and joined Slimming World, in order to help her pass on healthy habits to her children.

She said: "I have five children and having them makes me all the more determined to succeed, along with teaching them nutritional values so they hopefully wont suffer with obesity."

Before joining the weight loss group, Jemma would gorge on take-aways and junk food and did not partake in any exercise, but now she sticks to plan and eats in moderation, but is not restricted to the food choices she makes.

She said: "If I can do it, anyone can. If you can dream it, you can do it.

"Its not just a diet, its a lifestyle and for me its a matter of self care.

"I eat everything in moderation. I dont do work outs as such but I am more able to walk a good distance and move around more freely."

Jemma attends Lauren Fidler's group every week in Mount Gould, and said that being around others who are on similar journeys as her keeps her motivated and inspired.

She said: "The best thing is hearing other people's success stories and believing in myself through the inspiration of others.

"I feel like I can achieve a goal that I set out and am slowly gaining more confidence and self belief."

Jemma has now overcome depression and credits it to her weight loss.

She added: "I've turned my life completely around, with a lot of determination I can honestly say I'm the happiest I've ever been.

"A year ago I was a complete recluse and tried to hide myself under baggy clothes hoping not to be seen, now I can wear a figure hugging dress and feel fabulous.

"I'm no longer the suicidal recluse i once was, I'm confident and happy.

"Group really does keep me going each week and offers me a lifeline during the lockdown."

A Plymouth teaching assistant has reached her goal weight during lockdown, despite obstacles in her way.

Tamsin Fleming has been at home on maternity leave with her two young children and was concerned about having "access to food all day long", but has found ways to keep herself on track.

The 30-year-old has been working her way through a vegetarian Slimming World recipe book, which not only keeps her busy, but has introduced tasty meals to her family.

Tamsin was pregnant for the majority of her Slimming World journey and has lost almost two stone.

She said: "I am astounded by how much Slimming World has helped me overcome my food obstacles and help me achieve what I set out to do.

"I was pregnant most of my Slimming World journey and this proved a lot better than I thought.

I gained 11.5lb in 9 months and lost 11lb my first week back!

"If I hadn't have stayed with the group, I would have gained a huge amount more and felt awful.

"Staying on plan, weighing in each week and pre-planning meals meant that I could still be in control of my eating whilst juggling what life had in store."

The mum-of-two said she consulted her midwife to check that she was allowed to continue sticking to her plan.

She said: "My midwife was happy for me to keep on plan as I wasn't losing weight rapidly and I was keeping healthy.

"Since having our daughter, I have tried to stick to healthy food and pre-plan weekly meals to help me keep on track.

"I have also joined the virtual SW group, allowing me to chat regularly with other members and my supportive consultant Tracy."

Tamsin admits it "hasn't been easy", but she has been "picked back up" by members on the virtual classes when she needs a boost.

She said: "They have helped me keep positive through the lockdown and pick myself back up when I have a gain. It hasn't been easy, especially through the lockdown and having two little children, but their support has been essential.

"Though there have been ups and downs, I still feel it was the best thing to do and couldn't be happier with my overall weight loss. It has also made me feel better since giving birth.

"I haven't had to try and lose a huge amount of weight whilst managing with a newborn, it would have added to the stress been detrimental to me. The number on the scales is smaller than it was, but also those non-scale victories have been important to me.

"I am able to walk more, have had to buy smaller jeans, can fit in dresses I haven't worn in years. Sometimes the visual things help you get yourself back on track too."

Tamsin now makes time to batch cook healthy food, instead of grabbing convenience snacks, which has also helped keep the weight off.

She said: "Before I started Slimming World, it was very easy to reach for snacks and convenience foods for dinners, but now I make the time around the children, to batch cook healthy food so we always have something to take out of the freezer.

"Always having fruit and vegetables to hand too has been helpful. I try and walk to work whenever I can, but since being on maternity and in lockdown, daily walks to feed the ducks with our daughters is as much as we can do!

"I would advise anyone to join Slimming World if they want to truly lose weight and maintain it. I am still shocked to see how my weight has dropped over the last year, and with being pregnant!

"It shows me that it really works and it was a worthwhile decision."

A retired Plymouth servicewoman has lost an incredible 2st 4.5lbs during lockdown, whilst self-isolating in South Wales with her father.

Nicola Thomas-Botwood moved to Wales to be with her father to care for him during the peak of the pandemic, which added extra difficulties to her weight loss.

But she set herself a target and smashed it, taking daily walks in the welsh mountains.

The 48-year-old even landed herself the gold body magic award and found the support from her friends and fellow members at Slimming World virtually, helped her reach her goal, even though she was in a different country.

She has even started running, which she found difficult in the beginning.

"Losing weight in lockdown was about thankfully having three things," she said.

"A daily routine, access to a local fruit and vegetable shop and living in a rural area with great walks, right from my doorstep.

"Staying on target meant giving myself new challenges such as body magic and then successfully starting to run distance, which I had never done in my life."

Nicola has now moved back home with her husband, which meant further challenges.

"Coming out of lockdown after I had reached my final target and moving back to live with my husband was challenging," she said.

"I had to adapt my routine, try to relax eating to not lose more weight and find new fitness challenges."

Nicola said she feels more positive about her health for the first time in years.

She said: "The best thing about my weight loss is the positive effect it has had on my health and stamina.

"After injury and illness leading to medical retirement, it is amazing ten years later to be this way.

"Thanks to Slimming World and all the support of my amazing group and husband, I have a real positive attitude to food and my shape."

A Plymouth mum feels better than ever after losing weight, which was prompted by an "idiot" who told her he did not date "fatties".

Karen Mayhew said she was aware that she had gained some weight, but she was given a "kick up the bum" after a man asked her what she weighed.

The 43-year-old instantly knew the man was an "idiot", but found that the comments gave her the motivation she needed to lose weight and lead a healthier lifestyle.

Now Karen, a mother-of-one, has lost a whopping 1st 9lbs and is well on her way to achieving her goal of 10st.

"I knew Id put on weight, but when a man told me he didnt date fatties after asking my weight, it gave me a kick up the bum," she said.

"I know he was a completely idiot but strangely it helped."

Karen then decided that she wanted to "lose weight, feel healthier and gain confidence", so took to Plymouth Gossip Girls to ask the best advice and tried-and-tested methods to shed some pounds.

Many people suggested joining Slimming World and dozens of people recommended Samantha Ball's group, who runs the Honicknowle meetings.

"I'm very happy now", she said.

"I'm determined and confident.

"I can now fit into some of my favourite clothes that I couldn't previously.

"I'm a clothes size smaller and I can now exercise for 30-40 minutes easily."

Karen said her heaviest weight, which is what she weighed when she first stepped foot into Samantha's group, was 12st 13lb.

She now weighs 11st 4lb and has hopes to reach a 10st target.

"I still have treats but now I understand how bad some can be, I find myself choosing better options," she said.

Before Karen's diet consisted of sweets, chocolate, paninis, lots of bread, takeaways, crisps, cheese, wine as well as Malibu and full-fat coke.

Now, Karen has switched her diet to include more fruit, vegetables, fish, meat, eggs pasta and sugar free drinks.

Her 12-year-old son also eats the same meals as her and it has helped introduce healthier eating habits.

Shaun Sandell said he felt "ashamed and embarrassed" of how he looked after struggling with his weight for the last 13 years when he went to university.

At the beginning of the lockdown, the 32-year-old weighed 19st 10lbs and had a BMI of 37.8 and after seeing "countless news articles about how excess weight can lead to complications in the event of contracting coronavirus", he knew it was time to improve his health.

"I have a young family, a one-year-old and a four-year-old," he said.

"I became increasingly concerned about the impact that it may have on all of our lives.

"I was ashamed and embarrassed, but always put on a brave face and a bucket load of bravado. But in all honesty I was always very conscious of my size."

Shaun, from Southway, said he also enjoys holidaying with his family in Florida and did not want to worry about weight restrictions.

He said: "We love to holiday in Florida, and there are some rides where restraints can sometimes feel a little 'close'.

"I want to continue enjoying these."

When deciding to lose weight, Shaun called on his wife who has a degree in nutrition.

He said: "I made the decision to finally do something about my weight, but chose not to go down the Weight Watchers, Slimming World route and went solo.

"Well, my wife has a degree in nutrition, so she gave me some vital pointers. In a time where much of our liberties and privileges became much more restrictive, I made the decision to become much more active.

"I set myself a challenge of walking every day. I would walk seven to eight miles, pushing my youngest in the pushchair. I also started running, trying to hit 5 miles on a daily basis.

"Surprisingly, I found it remarkably easy and I completely changed my diet."

Shaun said he completely cut out chips and potatoes which he was eating with every meal and limited his bread intake to one or two slices maximum per week.

"The running and walking soon got easier and all of a sudden clothes started to become too big," he said.

"Now we find ourselves 13 weeks on from the start of lockdown and I now weigh 15st 9lbs, having hit 4 stone in weight loss in just 13 weeks."
