Three sisters lose 18 stone between them on the same diet
Three sisters lose 18 stone between them on the same diet They were facing surgery, diabetes and blindness before working together to cut their weight Emma, Katie and Tammy went on a weight-loss journey together Three sisters who have lost more than 18 stone (114.3kg) between them by following an 800-calorie-a-day diet have said it transformed their lives more than they could have imagined. Emma Castle, 48, reached her heaviest weight of 22 stone 6lb (143.1 kg), wearing a size 24, in summer 2023 and realised she needed to make a change after discovering she had high blood pressure and was pre-diabetic. In January 2024, she began the 1:1 Diet by Cambridge Weight Plan, a step-by-step weight-loss programme that provides one-to-one consultant support and starts with 800 calories a day through meal replacement products and a small evening meal. The NHS recommends 2,000 calories daily for women, with a 600-calorie reduction suggested for weight loss. Emma is now 14 stone 6lb (92.1 kg) and a size 16, making everyday actions easier, such as walking, doing housework, and even sitting on a bus without taking up two seats. She has also become a consultant for the 1:1 Diet. Tammy Fisher, 46, started the same diet at 16 stone 5lb (104.1 kg), wearing a size 20, desperate for change after years of feeling 'hopeless' and even considering gastric surgery, but has since slimmed down to 10 stone 12lb (68 kg) and a size 12. She is now also a consultant. Katie Nutt, 46, who does not work because of health reasons, began the diet in February 2024 and has gone from 17 stone 4lb (110.3 kg) and a size 22 to 12 stone 1lb (76.7 kg) and a size 14 – she has hypertension on the brain and since losing weight her condition has stabilised. Tammy, who, like her sisters, lives in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, told PA Real Life: 'It makes you feel in control of what you're eating. I feel like it just works for us even though some people might think it's not enough calories to start with. I thought surgery was my only option but how wrong I was – I don't need any injection or surgery – I did it myself and it's just unreal.' Emma reached her heaviest weight of 22 stone 6lb in the summer of 2023, after years of overeating and having large bars of chocolate most evenings. But after a visit to her GP revealed she had high blood pressure and was pre-diabetic she slowly began to realise she may need to make some changes. In January 2024 she began following the 1:1 Diet by Cambridge Weight Plan which is a tailored weight-loss plan that provides one-to-one consultant support for every dieter and became a consultant for the diet too. She said: 'I realised that actually I'm not going to be able to get through life unscathed if I continue as I am.' The diet consists of several steps. Step one involves replacing your everyday food for nutritionally complete meal replacement products. Emma started at step two which includes three 1:1 products daily – such as snack bars or porridge – along with a 200-calorie evening meal made from ingredients such as chicken and vegetables, with no carbohydrates. By May 2024, Emma had lost four stone (25.4 kg), and a check-up confirmed her blood pressure and blood sugar levels were within the normal range. She said: 'It made it all worth it, I felt so much better in myself. It's really quite life changing, losing that amount of weight, and it's just everyday things that you notice are easier, like walking, housework, sitting on a bus and not taking up nearly two seats.' Tammy also began the 1:1 Diet in January 2024, becoming a consultant too, following the same 800-calorie plan. At the time, she weighed 16 stone 5lb (104.1 kg) – the 'biggest' she had 'ever been' – and was 'desperate' to make a change. The sisters supported each other throughout the process. (L to R: Tammy, Emma and Katie) (Collect/PA Real Life) She had been considering gastric surgery, even contacting private hospitals and arranging payment plans, but was inspired by Emma to try the diet instead, avoiding a procedure that could have cost around £10,000. She explained: 'I got to the point where I didn't like what I saw in the mirror at all. I didn't like my clothes … friends would invite me out and I wouldn't go, and I used to cry a lot and think it was all hopeless.' However, after just a few days on the plan, and despite feeling light-headed during the initial 'detox', she suddenly got a 'spring in her step'. Katie began the diet in February 2024, starting at 17 stone 4lb (110.3 kg). Katie, who was on the waiting list for gastric sleeve surgery because of hypertension on the brain, was advised to lose weight to relieve her symptoms such as headaches and neck and back pain. Since following the diet – also consuming 800 calories a day – she has halved her pain medication. There had also been a risk of her going blind, as the condition was causing pressure on her optic nerves, but her eyesight is now stable. Katie said: 'I think my family have noticed a huge difference – I used to look so poorly all the time and my kids used to just think, 'God, mum's in bed again'. Now they see me up sprightly.' Together, the sisters have lost more than 18 stone (114.3 kg), with Emma shedding eight stone (50.8 kg), Tammy five stone 7lb (35.4 kg), and Katie five stone 3lb (33.5 kg). All three sisters, who are 5ft 2in, started in the obese category – Emma had a BMI of 57, Tammy had a BMI of 42, and Katie had a BMI of 44. After losing weight, Emma's BMI is the lowest level of obese at 36, Tammy moved into the overweight category at 28, and Katie reached the borderline between overweight and obese at 30. Emma said: 'I don't actually think my brain is caught up in my body … I keep buying bigger sizes thinking they're the right size.' When the sisters are closer to their goal weights, they will eventually move on to the final steps, with their calories increasing each time. The final step involves eating one 1:1 product a day and eating a healthy diet of around 1,500 calories each day, while keeping active and working towards maintaining weight. The sisters believe their weight-loss journey has brought them closer, supporting each other along the way. 'Every celebration used to revolve around food,' said Emma. 'But now we spend that money on experiences, like holidays together and we've found new ways to reward ourselves. It's a whole new mindset.' Since losing the weight, their lives have changed beyond their 'wildest imaginations' – Tammy and Katie are no longer considering surgery and they all feel healthier, with more energy, and have more confidence than ever. Looking ahead, the sisters believe the diet will be 'part of (their) lives for the rest of (their) lives', and Emma and Tammy are excited to continue their journeys by helping others as consultants.

Tammy Fender: She Created Hollywood's Cult-Favorite Skincare Line!
Share with your friends! Pinterest LinkedIn Email Flipboard Reddit Tammy Fender has been a trailblazer in the world of plant-based luxury skincare for decades. Known for her handcrafted botanical formulas and deeply personalized approach, she's earned a loyal following — from celebrity fans like Gwyneth Paltrow to wellness insiders like Melissa Wood-Tepperberg. Now available at Private Edition in Green Hills, Tammy's line, Tammy Fender Holistic Skincare, brings her healing touch closer to home. We sat down with Tammy to talk about her roots in clean beauty, her move to Nashville, and how she helps people glow from the inside out. Pin What prompted your foray into holistic skincare? I've always been someone who connects deeply with nature and feels called to help others. Working hands-on in the treatment room and creating my skincare collection allow me to do both. I've been lucky to find a way to merge my passions and build a company around what matters to me most. I love delving into holistic health — how the body, mind, and spirit are intertwined, and how we are interconnected with the plant kingdom and nature as a whole. What inspired the expansion from Palm Beach into the Nashville market? Nashville reminds me of Palm Beach many years ago when we first started out there; it's surrounded by beautiful countryside and full of fascinating people. It just has a real sense of home. In the same way, arriving at Private Edition feels natural. It was recommended by more than one mutual friend and client, and once we visited, it was such an obvious fit for the brand. Pin You have a devoted following! What are the fan-favorite products? We're thrilled that all of our most coveted and award-winning formulas will be available at Private Edition, including the Plant Milk Serum, a soothing botanical emulsion to nurture and protect the skin (especially during the post-care phase after dermatological treatments), and our most popular moisturizing cream, Intensive Repair Balm. What has surprised you most about life in Nashville since moving here from Palm Beach? I'm awed by the beauty of the seasons! I'm also consistently discovering new plants, trees, and flowers as we find new hiking trails, and as I've been out riding with my daughter. Nashville is surrounded by such a wealth of natural beauty. We've also loved the dining scene. There are so many great restaurants and cafes that we have yet to try. Pin Tell us about your partnership with Blackberry Farm in East Tennessee and the retreats you do there. My collaboration at Blackberry Farm includes both residencies — where I'm offering facial treatments in the Wellhouse — and multi-day retreats, which I host with Charlotte Hardwick. They allow us to guide small groups of guests through an immersive learning experience as we explore different aspects of holistic wellness and the skin in a very intimate way. Blackberry Farm is an incredible place, and these opportunities to explore and share always leave me so inspired. How do you personally unwind and recharge? For me, taking time in nature, spending time with my family, and being in quiet contemplation are essential. I'm devoted to my early mornings in meditation and prayer, which keep me grounded and fuel my days. Having dinner with my family and getting out into the wild are just as important. Is there a morning ritual or product you never skip, no matter how busy your day gets? My morning skincare routine is a daily pleasure, as much as it's also a necessity. I love the sensorial experience of spritzing with Bulgarian Rose Water after cleansing my face, and taking a moment for a gentle facial massage as I press in ultra-concentrated Quintessential Serum. Grounding myself in a moment of gentle awareness in this way, before starting the day, is essential. Any local spots you've fallen in love with? I've been so captivated by the music scene since we've arrived. It's a true gift to spend time listening to the music of Nashville's singer-songwriters — the talent is unfathomable. And I've found discovering these inspiring venues both relaxing and energizing. I've also loved finding hidden gems like Patina Home & Garden, which has become a favorite spot. Not only is the store beautifully curated, but the owner, Brooke, offers an ongoing series of intriguing workshops and classes. I'm excited to join the farm and garden tour of her Patina Meadow this week as I learn more about the lush local landscape. Pin What is the best piece of advice you've ever received? One of the best pieces I've received is that there's no need to rush to the finish line. While there is so much pressure to move quickly in this world, if you love what you do and are happy sharing your passion, you shouldn't be afraid to slow down and enjoy the process. I've found that this ultimately helps me stay aligned with my vision. And integrity is so key to longevity, especially in a market often swayed by trends. We've been slowly building our brand for many years, but by staying true to what matters most, we've been able to build something that lasts while also expanding. Aside from faith, family, and friends, name three things you can't live without. Travel, nature, and great sleep. I love traveling to new places to discover with my family. I have an insatiable curiosity. Having access to nature and being able to immerse myself in the plant world is also so important to my spirit. And none of it is possible, of course, without a great night's sleep, which is my delight. There is nothing like waking up completely refreshed for the day ahead. Pin LIGHTNING ROUND! Favorite recent book or podcast? The Book of Nature: The Astonishing Beauty of God's First Sacred Text by Barbara Mahany. What would surprise people most to learn about you? I'm a minimalist. What's on your nightstand? Bulgarian Lavender Body Oil, nature's ultimate sleep remedy.

CAB sells Dublin home of convicted robber for €573,000
The Criminal Assets Bureau has sold two homes in Dublin and Laois that were the proceeds of crime for a total of €664,000. The home of the convicted armed robber Stefan Saunders, a semi-detached double-fronted five-bedroom house in Hazelbury Park in Clonee, was sold for €573,000, €228,000 above the asking price. CAB took possession of it five months ago and it sold this week in an online auction. Stefan Saunders and his wife Tammy had lived in the expensively furnished and extended house but the High Court ruled three years ago that it was purchased with the proceeds of crime. The couple failed in two appeals to keep it and then failed in their attempt to have the case heard by the Supreme Court. Saunders was one of the country's most prolific and dangerous armed robbers and was jailed for seven and a half years for an attempted ATM robbery in 2016. The 46-year-old was part of a criminal gang suspected of being involved in several high-profile crimes, including the armed robbery of over €1.8m from a Brinks Allied security van in Artane in Dublin in January 2005. He and his wife then went on "a spending spree" on expensive cars, houses and extensive renovations from April 2005 until 2007. This included a six-week luxury holiday in Orlando with extended family, the purchase of two BMWs, the purchase of the house in Clonee for €360,000 and a €125,000 refurbishment and extension to the house. Stefan Saunders claimed he worked as a plasterer while Tammy claimed she drew a salary from an interior decorating business they owned, claims which were rejected by the High Court. House in Laois sold for €91,000 CAB also sold a house in Portlaoise, Co Laois this week that it seized from a woman who claimed she worked as an escort in Australia. Mary Cash's semi-detached four-bedroom bungalow with a large back garden at 7 Harpur's Lane sold online for €91,000, €1,000 over the asking price. The High Court was told Cash was the wife of Andy Cash, a member of a notorious burglary gang which carried out robberies all over the country. CAB told the court she is believed to be the driver for her husband and the organised crime gang. Over €420,000 was lodged to her bank account over a ten-year period. She claimed she was a lone parent with two children and was separated from her husband. She said she moved to Australia in 2015 and worked as a cleaner, childminder and escort, while her husband did power-washing, tarmacking and gravel work. They earned €150,000, she added. The High Court ruled the house was the proceeds of crime.
