THIS INSPIRING COUPLE have lost an astonishing THIRTEEN STONE collectively – and admit that it has SPICED things up in the BEDROOM and made them better parents. In March 2012, Rebecca Edwards (29) from Hampshire, UK, met her now husband tree surgeon, Aaron (31), through a dating app and five months later she became pregnant with their first child, Lily (5). At the time they were together, Rebecca was at her peak weight of 14st 8Ib and UK size 18, while Aaron was 23st and was an XXL shirt size. They had been overweight for the majority of their adult lives; indulging in junk food and takeaways while Rebecca was studying at university and he had his first job after leaving high school. During this time, they both hated themselves and would have no confidence; Rebecca couldn’t bear to shop for clothes and Aaron felt like he couldn’t wear what he wanted. They struggled to keep up with their daughter and felt like they were failing her. In 2016, they welcomed their second child, Isla (3), and were over the moon and they got married in September 2017, but their weights had prevented them from doing daily activities. Feeling depressed, they couldn’t muster up the energy to turn their lives around. Collectively, they would both consume around 7,000 calories a day from Chinese takeaways and ready-made meals, which caused them to feel lethargic and they lacked romance. It wasn’t until two years later when Rebecca saw another mum pushing her baby in a pram up a large hill that she decided she would work on losing weight. She began cooking all their meals, which meant that they were eating junk food and eating out less. While before Aaron would eat two portions of rice in one sitting, they are now sharing one portion of food between them which helped in their weight loss massively. Rebecca works out in the gym six times a week on weight training and cardio and Aaron works out three to four times a week on muscle training and they each consume 1,700 calories and 2,500 calories a day respectively. Their new lifestyle has resulted in Rebecca shrinking to a healthy 10st and UK size eight to 10, while Aaron is now only 14st and size medium. They say that their relationship has improved a lot since their weight loss; they feel more confident in the bedroom and they feel like better parents to their daughters. mediadrumworld.com / Rebecca Edwards
