Lisa Marie says:
"I got told that if I didn’t do something about my weight that I could die. I’ve always said that I needed a boot camp. I’m fed up, it’s now or never. I want to go on holiday and not be worried about asking for an extension to the seat belt for the plane. I get taxi’s everywhere so I don’t have to sit on a bus because the seats aren’t big enough. This is my last chance. I just want to be able to be what everyone calls normal.”

Raz says:
“I’m doing this to help Lisa and I want to do it for myself. Next year myself and my husband are renewing our wedding vows because we’ve been married 25 years and I don’t want to wear fat clothes. I’m looking forward to getting to wear a pair of heels again.” “I’ve got a granddaughter now, she’s two nearly and she’s running around. I want to be able to say let’s go to the park and to be around when my kids are old, to see them grow up and get married.”
