UK women Alice Day and Sarah Dunbar lose over 100 kg through diet and exercise

Alice Day, a 30‑year‑old nursery worker from Warwick, shed 145 pounds (about 66 kg) over two years after a Christmas party photo left her feeling devastated. She joined a Slimming World club, switched to high‑protein meals and regular running, and reduced her clothing size from 24 to eight.

Sarah Dunbar, a mother of two from Eston, weighed nearly 17 stone (about 108 kg) and struggled with post‑natal depression. She began boxercise, then pursued strength training, earned a fitness diploma during the pandemic, and opened a women‑only gym. She is now preparing for her first bodybuilding competition, highlighting the role of exercise and healthy eating in her recovery.
