Mum's 10st Weight Loss: Ditching Jabs for TikTok

Hannah Baldwin, a 36-year-old mother of seven, has achieved a remarkable weight loss of nearly 10 stone. Her journey began after a distressing trip to Disneyland in September 2024, where she required strong painkillers to manage hip and back pain exacerbated by her size 28 waistline and weight of 21st 4lbs.

Initially, Hannah tried skinny jabs for two months, but found them to be both expensive and physically painful. This led her to explore alternative methods. In December 2024, she discovered calorie counting through TikTok, a technique she adopted to manage her intake to approximately 1,900 calories per day.

This shift from consuming up to 6,000 calories daily to a home-cooked meal plan, incorporating fruit over biscuits and crisps, resulted in her transformation to a size 14 and weighing 11st 6lbs. Over the past 16 months, Hannah has significantly improved her quality of life, enabling her to engage more actively with her children.

Despite her success, Hannah is now seeking to address loose skin, particularly on her abdomen, which impacts her confidence and physical activity. She has launched a fundraiser, aiming to collect approximately £7,000 for a tummy tuck and mons lift, potentially in Turkey, to resolve this remaining concern.
