An artist completed this stunning transformation - losing nearly four stone - in less than five months.
Sally Cooper dropped five dress sizes in the same 18-week period after becoming determined to get healthier.
The 59-year-old woman went to a Slimming World group in Countesthorpe, Leicestershire, after seeing photographs of herself at her heaviest, which "started to motivate her".
And, in less than five months, Sally dropped from just under 14 stone to 10st 3lb.
Leicestershire Live says her dress size plunged too - from an 18 to an eight - between dates in January and May this year.
"I've been dieting on and off for years so it wasn't a surprise. But then last year I really felt at my worst and saw pictures of myself that started to motivate me," Sally, from Countesthorpe, said.
It was her second stint at Slimming World. When she tried the group some years ago, she struggled to find the motivation to commit regularly to the sessions.
But with more determination this year, she was able to see the results quickly.
The woman, who paints people's families, pets and homes, said: "I just decided to give myself a kick up the backside and try harder.
"I didn't expect it to happen so easily at all.
"I'd tried Slimming World a few years ago, during lockdown, and everything just seemed to be going against me around then - which is how a lot of people felt, I'm sure."
Sally was the slimmer of the week earlier this month.
She now enjoys running and swimming. "hen she did her first 5km in January, it took her more than 40 minutes, but her latest record was just 28 and a half minutes.
Her furthest run is 16.5km, and she can swim 200 lengths of a swimming pool without resting.
"I used to shy away from the camera, being mortified of how I looked, and hide under baggy clothes," the super slimmer added.
"But now I'm proud to have my photo taken.
"I eat so much more healthily but I never go hungry - it's reignited my love of cooking. It's improved my sleep, my skin is healthier and I generally just feel healthier all round."
