  • Why did you decide to nominate your family to take part in the series?
  • Me and Lloyd were quite fit before starting Cwm Sâl Cwm Iach but we nominated our family so we could encourage Mum to do more. As a family, we're all members of the local gym and we enjoy playing squash and swimming. Lloyd is also on the books at the Ospreys and plays rugby all the time.
  • What's the hardest thing about healthy living?
  • Eating healthily! We all like to eat things full of fat and cutting down was hard.
  • What's the best thing?
  • To follow a better way of living and to feel better about yourself.
  • Who in tour family had the most difficulty to adjust to living a healthier lifestyle?
  • Lloyd. Before we started, Lloyd's diet wasn't good at all. He's got a sweet tooth and likes to eat fatty things so he had a hard time on the whole. His problem was that he doesn't like to eat pasta or salads - he likes chips and other unhealthy things which are not good for you.
  • What was your favourite challenge?
  • I think that walking up Pen-y-fan was my favourite challenge. I enjoyed being out in the fresh air with friends. Lloyd's favourite challenge was a training session with some of Wales' rugby stars including Dwayne Peel and Andrew Bishop. He enjoyed it although it was hard work.
  • Which challenge proved most difficult?
  • I don't like needles and things, so the challenge where we had to monitor our health by taking blood was hard for me. I remember feeling sick just thinking about it.
  • What advice would you pass on to a family who would like to follow your lead?
  • Support each other because it isn't easy and follow a well-balanced diet.
  • How has the process affected the family as a whole?
  • By now we do more things as a family. We eat together often, go to the gym or swimming together and now I help Lloyd practice his rugby in the garden.
  • Is there anything you'd change about your time on the programme?
  • I think we could have put more effort into the challenges at times.
