Stephanie's story

The severity of Type 2 diabetes is what motivated Stephanie to set her 2024 goal of losing more than half her body weight.

Stephanie has battled with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), menopause, and other metabolic disorders, and has more recently faced a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes. Causing symptoms such as tiredness and blurred vision, Type 2 diabetes is a lifelong condition that can affect a person’s everyday life. 

The severity of Type 2 diabetes is what motivated Stephanie to set her 2024 goal of losing more than half her body weight. She hopes that losing weight will help her rely less on her current medication, especially before her diabetes becomes even more serious.

Getting more active and losing weight, by herself and with the help of people at Gosport Leisure Centre, means the world to Stephanie. 

Stephanie’s wish to lose weight isn’t just about looking or feeling better, it’s about inspiring others. Turning her life is something that really matters not just to her, but to her family. “I want to fight and beat this, get healthy, and be an inspiration to others who are struggling.” Stephanie says.
