From 21st 8lbs to XS: Woman's Incredible 10-Stone Loss
9 Feb
Summary
- Woman lost 10 stone in six months, shrinking from size 3XL to XS.
- Medication Mounjaro helped her recognize fullness cues.
- Daily diet shifted to chicken salads with controlled full-fat mayo.
Holly Barron, a 22-year-old from Manchester, has undergone a dramatic transformation, shedding 10 stone in six months. At her heaviest, she weighed 21st 8lbs and wore a size 3XL. Her weight gain was exacerbated by diagnosed polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and type two diabetes, diagnosed at age 20.
Her life changed significantly in June 2025 when she began Mounjaro, a medication recommended by her diabetes clinic. This treatment helped her regain control over her appetite, enabling her to recognize when she was full, a sensation she previously struggled with. This medication, combined with a strict diet, led to her current weight of 11st 8lbs.
Barron's new diet consists primarily of chicken salads with 15 grams of full-fat mayonnaise, a stark contrast to her former diet of fast food and takeaways. She now wears an XS and has a new outlook on life, feeling she is finally living rather than just existing.
