weight loss<\/a> \u2013 she works as a consultant for Slimming World \u2013 realised that helping other people wasn\u2019t helping herself. She was gaining weight.<\/p>\nMeanwhile Liz\u2019s father Richard Owens was struggling to lose weight himself. So, the pair decided to work as a team.<\/p>\n
Although Liz felt that she had neglected her own weight problem, in her father\u2019s case it was a matter of needing to do something urgently. Richard recently underwent bypass surgery for a heart condition, and was advised by doctors that he needed to lose the weight.<\/p>\n
Inspired by his daughter\u2019s new found determination, Richard decided that he would be better off if the couple worked together to help each other.<\/p>\n

Richard lost 5 stone in weight, and was also voted the Slimming World\u2019s 2014 Man of the Year.<\/p>\n
Richard was also at his lightest for 40 years.<\/p>\n
