Overview
- Angelina Bonsor, 39, reached her heaviest weight during lockdown at 26st 4lb before pursuing medical and lifestyle interventions.
- She had a gastric sleeve in May 2024, a procedure the NHS says removes around 80% of the stomach to create a smaller pouch.
- As losses slowed, she hired a trainer in January 2025, did home workouts three times weekly, walked over 10,000 steps daily, and logged food with MyFitnessPal.
- Her weight plateaued at 15st 2lb by July 2025; starting Mounjaro reduced her appetite and helped her reach 13st 7lb, now wearing size 14 with a BMI of 27.9.
- She reports greater confidence and kinder treatment from others, and says her son’s bullying over her size and her brother’s sudden death motivated change.
