At just 18-years-old Yolanda Barber stepped on the scales and saw that she tipped over 200 pounds.

She was grossly overweight at 14 stone and knew something had to be done.

Exercise wasn’t her problem, Yolanda was always sporty but she was also a huge binge eater and had no self-control, she confessed.


Now, the 20-year-old Australian has lost almost 50 pounds thanks to an an eight week program.


Yolanda joined a ‘cheap and local gym’ and started to follow fitness expert Chontel Duncan’s nutritional advice uploaded regularly to Instagram and Snapchat.


‘So throughout my uni degree I followed Chontel’s recipes and tips online,’ she said.

Yolanda also began to follow other personal trainers on Snapchat like Australian coach Hannah Dales who posts daily workouts. Yolanda would do the workouts at her local gym.

‘Just by following Chon’s meal prepping and Hannah’s strength trainingworkouts I lost 15 kilos in a matter of months,’ she said.

Yolanda then joined HIIT Australia who devise an eight-week challenge that encourages clients to follow a set structure of nutritional and exercise plans.


She worked really hard at the program saying some weeks she got to the gym 10 times. Yolanda ended up being crowned the ultimate transformation winner with her shocking before and after pictures.



Post-challenge she is now almost 50 pounds lighter at 156 pounds (11 stone). She also has continued her training and exercises 6 days a week.

‘I just have so much more confidence in myself now,’ she said.

ISIS Supporters Celebrate Ariana Grande Concert Explosion in Manchester, UK

Supporters of the Islamic State group (ISIS) are celebrating an explosion at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, UK that has killed at least 19 people and left another 50 injured. Social media accounts linked to ISIS supporters were posting messages supporting the deadly incident Monday night at the sold-out 21,000-capacity Manchester Arena.


The group has has not claimed of responsibility for the explosion, nor have any others, but police said they were investigating the incident as a terrorist attack.
One pro-ISIS post, highlighted by co-founder of private intelligence firm Search International Terrorist Entities Intelligence Group (SITE) Rita Katz, said “Kill him everywhere, Britain and England and Manchester and UK and Britain.” Other accounts were linking to the first statement about the attacks by Greater Manchester Police.Pro-ISIS users called the incident a “successful and surprising blow” to Britain. It was framed as retaliation for airstrikes which Britain has been carrying out on ISIS targets in Iraq and Syria.Michael S. Smith II, a United States based terrorism analyst, linked to further posts celebrating the attack on ISIS-linked Telegram channels. He said such response online was a “strong indicator” the attack was linked to the group.

There were similar posts from ISIS supporters online following an attack near parliament in London’s Westminster in March (the group later claimed responsibility for it).


The source of Monday's explosion was reportedly a nail bomb, the same type of device ISIS used in an attack in Brussels in March 2016.

Chocolate eaters ‘may have lower risk of irregular heartbeat’


© Provided by The Press Association Chocolate bars (Anthony Devlin/PA)People who regularly eat chocolate may have a lower risk of developing an irregular heartbeat, a new study has found.


Atrial fibrillation is a heart condition that causes an irregular and often abnormally fast heart rate.


But a new study has linked regular chocolate consumption to having a lower risk of the condition – which affects around one million people in the UK.


Patients with atrial fibrillation have higher rates of heart failure, hospitalisation, stroke and cognitive impairment.


Following on from previous studies which have linked chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, to good heart health, a team of international experts set out to asses the link between chocolate consumption and atrial fibrillation or flutter.


They examined data on 55,500 people aged 50 to 64 who were taking part in the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health Study. Participants provided information on their usual weekly chocolate consumption.


During a 13-year follow-up period, 3,346 cases of atrial fibrillation or flutter were identified.


The study, published in the journal Heart, concluded that higher levels of chocolate intake were associated with a lower rate of clinically apparent atrial fibrillation among men and women.

The newly-diagnosed atrial fibrillation rate was 10% lower for those who ate between one and three 30g servings of chocolate a month than it was for those who consumed less than one serving a month.


The associations were strongest for one serving per week for women and between two and six servings a week for men.


But the authors caution that more often than not, chocolate is eaten in high calorie products containing fat and sugar, which are generally not considered good for heart health.


A linked editorial also questions whether the results could be applied “outside of the study population”.


The authors, from the Duke Centre for Atrial Fibrillation in North Carolina, USA, wrote that chocolate eaters in the study were healthier and more highly educated – factors associated with better general health — which might have influenced the findings.


The authors also highlight that European chocolate has a higher percentage of cocoa compared to countries such as the USA.


Victoria Taylor, senior dietician at the British Heart Foundation, said: “Although this is a large study, it is only observational and so other factors could also be responsible for the effects seen. The type of chocolate eaten wasn’t recorded either, therefore we can’t directly translate these findings into recommendations.”
