A Glengormley woman has said her "life started at 40" after she dropped a remarkable eight clothes sizes in just four years.
Clare McIvor, 43, was spurred on to lose weight as she wished to become a good role model for her two children, after seeing her young daughter following a similar journey to her with weight gain.
Once weighing 23 stone and living with a food addiction, Clare has lost eight stone and since channeled her energy into developing an active lifestyle which she said has changed the lives of her and her children.
