\n

A mother of four who said she tried more than 10 extreme diets across a span of 10 years has lost 84 pounds<\/a> \u2014 after both surgery and starting a regular hula hoop routine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Laura Johnson, 42, said she tried every “fad diet going” during her decade-long battle to shed excess baby weight, as SWNS, the British news service, reported.<\/p>\n

During that time she said she tried Slimming World, SlimFast, Weight Watchers, juicing and calorie counting \u2014 with no success.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Johnson, a police dispatcher from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England<\/a>, weighed herself every day in a bid to lose weight but said “nothing worked” for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite her best attempts, she tipped the scales at 224 pounds, SWNS noted.<\/p>\n

Then a friend recommended she look into gastric sleeve surgery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She had the procedure in the summer of 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In over a year she lost 70 pounds, not just from the surgery but with the help of a weighted hula hoop, which she said she uses for 15 minutes every day.<\/p>\n

Johnson \u2014 who now weighs about 150 pounds and slips into a slender size 10 \u2014 said, “I was so busy being a mom and doing shift work. It left me no time to focus on a diet and getting healthy.”<\/p>\n

She added, “It got to the point where I didn’t want to leave the house. I felt so big and I knew that wasn’t me,” as SWNS reported.<\/p>\n

She said the surgery she went through was “tough” but overall said it’s “been amazing” for her.<\/p>\n

She said that now, she’s active and that she “loves” hula hooping.<\/p>\n

“I got a weighted one online from Amazon and I’m obsessed.”<\/p>\n

Johnson first became a mom in her early 20s, in 2001, she said \u2014 and found that the baby weight “dropped off her” easily. <\/p>\n

She said the same thing occurred when she had her second child in 2003 and her third in 2009.<\/p>\n

Then, she said, “I had my fourth baby at age 32 in 2013 \u2014 and something was different. I couldn’t shift the extra weight no matter what I did.”<\/p>\n

Among the things she tried were classes and aqua aerobics, she said.<\/p>\n

But “it was so hard to commit to anything long-term though because of my job and having four kids.”<\/p>\n

She also stopped smoking<\/a> in October 2011, she said \u2014 noting her sweet tooth “went crazy” at that point as she reached for cakes and other sweets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite making sure her children were eating healthy, home-cooked meals, she said she herself often relied on processed snacks and ready-made meals.<\/p>\n

What turned her around, she told SWNS, was an invitation to a girls’ weekend away with her friends \u2014 which she declined, saying all she wanted to do was “stay at home and hide.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

She added, “I knew my weight was controlling my life. I’m usually the life and soul of a party” \u2014 so something “had to change,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After she had the gastric sleeve surgery, she lost nearly 30 pounds and said she’s continued to lose weight since.<\/p>\n

She said taking up exercising \u2014 which includes her daily round of hula hoop work<\/a> plus long walks and running \u2014 has made all the difference.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I feel lighter in my head and feel free,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I no longer overeat and I trust myself to make healthy choices \u2026 I still treat myself every so often, but I just don’t binge.”<\/p>\n

She also said, as SWNS reported, “Life is so much more fun now. I try things with the kids that I wouldn’t have before.”<\/p>\n

She added, “I got my life back and I’m dancing on tables again like I used to.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
