A 31-year-old who has lost a combined 13 stone with her mother in preparation for her wedding this year has shrunk in size so much she has been told to stop dieting by her tailor as her wedding dress “can’t be taken in any more”. Gaby Labrum, a 31-year-old HR manager from Bishops Cleeve, Gloucestershire, became determined to shift the pounds in January 2022 ahead of her wedding, set for May this year.
Signing up to The 1:1 Diet by Cambridge Weight Plan, Gaby said her weight started to drop and her mum, Debbie Labrum, 55, a finance director from Cheltenham, decided to join her. Since then, Gaby has dropped five dress sizes, while Debbie has dropped four dress sizes, and the duo said the support they have given each other has brought them closer together.
Gaby has had to sell her entire wardrobe for new clothes that fit and have her wedding dress altered as it became too big for her. Since first getting measured, she has gone down six wedding dress sizes and when her gown arrived for her first fitting, it was still two sizes too big.
