Angela McManus admits that she never really thought much about what she was feeding her children when they were younger. But she and her son are making headlines this week for their incredible yearlong transformation to a healthier, happier lifestyle — one that's truly astonishing.
"My sons lived off chicken nuggets and chips and a standard meal for me was something like a frozen chicken kiev," she told MailOnline. After all, it's easy to fall into the habit of eating poorly when time is tight and you've got mouths to feed. "Looking back," she says, "I can’t believe how long this lasted. I just did what I thought would be cheapest and easiest without considering other options."
Around this time last year, however, Angela decided that it was time for a change. The 48-year-old mother started feeding herself and her boys healthier foods, and she enrolled herself with a personal trainer who helped her drop two dress sizes.
Inspired by his mom's transformation, 20-year-old Bradley took up the gym as well. Over just the period of 12-months, Bradley went from eating poorly and skipping regular exercise to a toned and healthy weight.
"It feels so great to have improved my son’s life as well as my own," she tells MailOnline. "A few years ago, I could only imagine feeling and looking the way that I do now, so it’s fantastic to achieve what I have."

Angela McManus, 48, decided that she'd had enough of her unhealthy lifestyle.
At a size 16, Angela decided to start eating better and hire a personal trainer. "Looking back," she says, "I can’t believe how long this lasted. I just did what I thought would be cheapest and easiest without considering other options."
A year later, Angela is hardly the same person.
She dropped two dress sizes from size 16 to 12 over the course of a year, and adds that she feels much healthier.
Her son Bradley, 20, was inspired by his mother's weight loss transformation.
He too began working out and eating healthier. "It feels so great to have improved my son’s life as well as my own," Angela tells MailOnline. "A few years ago, I could only imagine feeling and looking the way that I do now, so it’s fantastic to achieve what I have."
Angela says that both hers and Bradley's lives have changed for the better.
"He’s seen a huge change in his life and the two of us support each other, not allowing ourselves to make the excuses that stopped us from good health previously," Angela told MailOnline.
