Surfing helps Grandmother lose 35 stone!

Fiona here.
I heard this great story on the news this morning. Nancy Makin is an American grandmother who used to weigh 50 stone. For more than 12 years, she was a virtual recluse, too big to even stand up for more than a few minutes.
Everything started to change when her sister gave her a computer. She ignored it for a few weeks but gradually started to explore and through the internet, she started to rediscover her self-worth by chatting with people who couldn’t judge her by her appearance alone. This in turn inspired her to lose weight and over 3 years, she lost 35 stone!
Now, thanks to the wonders of technology, her life has been completely transformed. She has written a book and has her own website here.
