A mum who was once too embarrassed to have her photo taken now proudly posts selfies online after dropping five stone.
Jen Hinde, 35, said she can now look at herself in the mirror and wear a swimming costume as she no longer feels like a "beached whale". The mum-of-one suffers from Fibromyalgia, a long term illness that causes pain and muscle stiffness all over the body.
Because of this, she struggles to exercise and would often find it painful to be stood cooking. She would instead fork out on takeaways and convenience food almost daily.
