Mum Loses 90lbs, Seeks Surgery for Loose Skin
8 Dec
Summary
- Meg Scott lost 90lbs in 11 months by adopting a Japanese-based diet.
- She seeks £7,000 for surgery to remove loose skin impacting daily life.
- Meg aims to inspire others with mental health struggles to lose weight.
Meg Scott, a 32-year-old biomedical science student, has achieved a remarkable weight loss of almost 90lbs over 11 months, shedding from 16st 12lbs to 10st 11lbs and dropping to a size 10. Her journey began as a response to declining mental health and weight gain, exacerbated by depression and medication side effects.
Adopting a Japanese-based diet, rich in protein and fruit while minimizing processed foods, was key to her success. She also established a home gym, exercising three times weekly. However, this significant transformation has left Meg with excess skin, causing physical discomfort, dermatitis, and preventing her from wearing trousers or engaging in high-impact activities.
Unable to secure NHS funding for skin removal surgery, Meg is crowd-funding the required £7,000. She hopes the surgery will allow her to be a more active mother to her son and encourages others facing similar challenges, emphasizing diet as the primary driver of weight loss, with occasional treats being acceptable.
