Claire Crowthers, 31, used to weigh 198 pounds. She worked as a midwife, and her crazy schedule forced her to eat junk food and pre-cooked meals. Her diet got out of control until she didn’t like looking at herself in the mirror anymore. When her boyfriend proposed, she rejected him. She said that she didn’t want to walk down the aisle looking like a ’fat bride’. Claire decided to find a healthy lifestyle once and for all.

Claire joined a fitness class and lost 56 pounds over 10 months, but that still wasn’t good enough for her. She began going to the gym with her boyfriend, who supported and helped her throughout the journey. He was following a diet and working out, too.

In October 2014, Claire and Stephen got married.

’The support of my husband was integral to the success of my weight loss, and working to a goal together again felt great,’ she said.
