Using diet and exercise only to begin with, the 52-year-old was able to ditch an impressive 6 stone, taking her to 18 stone, but she struggled to get any further with her weight loss, despite keeping up with natural techniques.<\/p>\n
Also struggling with Type 2 diabetes<\/a>, cancer<\/a> survivor Angela began taking\u00a0Mounjaro on the advice of a health expert\u00a0and watched in amazement as the ‘weight just melted away’, leaving her a total of 11 stone lighter.<\/p>\n Starting her journey as a size 26, Angela has seen incredible results and has now slimmed down to a trim size 12 to 14 and is even in remission from diabetes<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n But following her weight loss, Angela revealed she has now been left with an enormity of ‘excess skin’, and is now campaigning on her own GoFundMe<\/a> page to raise funds to have surgery abroad to remove it.<\/p>\n Although she is pleased with her results, the grandmother said she still struggles with body confidence due to the excess skin left around her legs, arms and stomach.<\/p>\n She said she can hardly look in the mirror and is ’embarrassed’ by the ‘saggy’ skin left by the dramatic weight loss,\u00a0she revealed during an interview with Glasgow Times.<\/a><\/p>\n Angela Brown, from Cumbernauld in Lanarkshire, weighed 24 stone just a few years ago. Pictured during her weight loss journey\u00a0<\/p>\n She told the paper: ‘I\u2019ve lost so much weight and my heath has vastly improved, but instead of feeling confident I hate looking in the mirror.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘My stomach stretches down to my knees and the amount of saggy skin on my legs has left me feeling like my body looks like a melted welly.’<\/p>\n She added: ‘I feel so embarrassed, and I have to go up a clothes size just to fit the skin hanging down into my trousers.’<\/p>\n Much to her dismay, a cosmetic procedure to remove the skin is not be available on the NHS, meaning Angela would need to travel abroad to seek treatment.<\/p>\n Unable to pay for her own surgery, she would need to spend\u00a0\u00a312,000 to have the three surgeries abroad for the results she wants.<\/p>\n Writing on the charity website, Angela said she was ‘looking for a little help towards surgeries’, adding that she wasn’t just looking for handouts, and was ‘also\u00a0saving towards this myself.’<\/p>\n Since sharing the plea on the charity funding page last week, she has raised \u00a35,000.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Angela’s incredible results were inspired by tragic circumstances, she told Glasgow Times.<\/p>\n Starting her journey as a size 26, Angela has seen incredible results and has now slimmed down to a trim size 12 to 14\u00a0<\/p>\n Using diet and exercise only to begin with, the 52-year-old was able to ditch an impressive 6st, taking her to 18st, but she struggled to get any further with her weight loss, despite keeping up with natural technique<\/p>\n The grandmother said it was the death of her father, Robert, in 2023 that marked the turning point in her choosing to finally make a change.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Not only that, but Angela has also faced ‘cancer and other health issues’, only some of which she put down to ‘an unhealthy lifestyle’.\u00a0<\/p>\n Thanks to healthy changes and taking weight-loss drugs, Angela is also now in remission for Type 2 diabetes.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mounjaro,\u00a0also known as GLP-1s, is the brand name for Tirzepatide – a drug that lowers blood sugar levels<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n It is one of a number of now popular weight-loss drugs such as Wegovy and Ozempic, that\u00a0 have become increasingly popular among people trying to shift pounds<\/a>.<\/p>\n It comes following the news that pharmacists are set to start dishing out weight-loss jabs on the NHS<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Under government plans, just a short, over-the-counter consultation will be needed to get the likes of Ozempic and Mounjaro for the cost of an NHS prescription \u2013 this week frozen at \u00a39.90<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Mail understands a deal worth tens of millions of pounds will be struck with a major pharmaceutical firm to fund a pilot scheme across the UK, with a view to eventually rolling it out to everyone in need.<\/p>\n![\"Angela](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/98566627-14730337-Angela_Brown_from_Cumbernauld_in_Lanarkshire_weighed_24_stone_ju-a-1_1747809825604.jpeg\")
