A mum-of-two who has tried 30 diets over the last four decades and always regained the weight has finally lost it for good.
Carol Tinker, 59, from Lincolnshire, started calorie counting at the age of 18. At the time, she was a size 12-14 and felt like she was putting on weight.
At first, she lost 10lbs and was pleased with her progress, but before long she was trapped in a cycle of losing and gaining weight every year for the next 40 years.
