A single mum has spoken about her incredible weight loss journey after deciding to shed the pounds because she was so self-conscious about getting in pictures with her daughter.
Lara McReynolds, 32, was weighing in at 18st 6lb last year and said that as a result she struggled to play with her daughter Halle, aged seven.
She said she hated how she looked in photos and would only take pictures of her face but would always hide her body.
