About a decade ago I went to Alton Towers. One of the most embarrassing moments of my life was to find out I couldn’t go on some rides because of the size.

Today I’ve lost 10 stone and was able to take my daughter on every ride at Alton Towers. I feel better in my self and walk a little taller. A lot of people feel self conscious about exercise, find it difficult or don’t know where to start.

This ‘peaceful’ protest involved grown men screaming Tory scum at my 11 yr old daughter…. These people aren’t really bothered about a cause, they make little videos like that try and make a profile for themselves and intimidate others. A disgrace to our city

I felt self conscious about going to the gym, I couldn’t really run and didn’t really know what to do. I started walking, a few miles each day. That turned into going to the gym, late at night when it was quiet. Today I can run miles, having done 2️⃣ half marathons.
