A woman who was once morbidly obese has told how a diabetes diagnosis forced her to get into shape.
Lori Yates' 5ft 3in frame used to tip the scales at 307lbs thanks to a daily diet of pizza, chips, cookies and around two liters of soda.
But when the 48-year-old realized the impact her diet was having on her health, she decided to hit the gym and now, 130lbs lighter, she has become a fitness fanatic.
Detailing her her transformation on the Huffington Post Ms Yates, who is based in Lakewood, Washington, explained: 'Now, I can do anything I set my mind to do. In 2011, I set out to compete in 12 sports competitions and met that goal.
'In 2012, I set out to compete in 14 sports competitions and did it. My life is full of energy. I am physically strong and fit.
