Ski Fall Shames Woman Into Losing 5 Stone
26 Feb
Summary
- A skiing accident in France led to a woman's rescue by sled.
- The incident prompted her to lose over five stone with medication.
- She launched a wellness brand to support others on similar journeys.
Natalie Colbourne-Park, a 43-year-old from Shropshire, experienced a life-altering skiing accident in Val d'Isère, France, in January 2024. While skiing, her weight contributed to a slow-speed fall that resulted in a broken knee, requiring reconstructive surgery.
Paramedics had to strap her onto a sled and tow her off the mountain, an event her children found amusing but which deeply embarrassed Natalie. This incident served as the 'trigger' for her to address her weight, which then stood at 14st 7lbs.
In February 2024, Natalie began a course of Mounjaro injections. Within six months, she successfully lost 5st 7lbs, reaching a weight of nine stone and fitting into a size six. She found Mounjaro more effective than previous diets, allowing her to feel in control without constant 'food noise'.
Inspired by her own experience and the extensive supplements she took, Natalie launched HerVibe Supplements. This brand aims to support women undertaking similar weight loss journeys with medications like Mounjaro or Wegovy.
