Gail first started ProKick to lose weight where she went from 17 and a half stone and began her fighting career at under 8stone, she lost an incredible 9 stone over a 20 year period.

Unfortunately since leaving she has ballooned up and put double that on and now sits at a staggering 22 stone and she's only 5ft2.

So the motto of the story is, don't give up exercise at any cost.

Gail said from her cruise today on the Belfast lough (a birthday present from her long suffering husband) "At least I'm not as fat as Fran." another ProKicker who also once fought under 8 stone.
