A Co Monaghan lifestyle coach believes losing weight can have so many benefits including a sense of more confidence and an all-round level of feeling healthier.
Darren Gallagher has been helping people fit into their old clothes, which for some people they would have thought this would have been impossible.
He says the more important element is that the weight stays off long-term and he said this can be a reality for everyone.
Darren says for some the idea could be daunting but he believes people at any stage can improve their health and lose weight.
He says everyone's calorie needs are different and with this tailored approach you will lose weight. The local coach says he gets great satisfaction at seeing people going on their weight loss journey and knowing you have helped them achieve their goal. Darren says it's very much about getting out of the habit and routine you are in and creating new habits.
