A mum-of-two lost seven-and-a-half stone in eight months after her dream holiday was ruined because of her weight
Jeanette Painting, 44, opened up about struggling to lose her baby weight after giving birth to Taion, 12, and Tarlia, nine. saying she got "stuck in a rut", hiding her size 24 figure in tracksuits and reaching 19st 13lbs.
The mum, from Gloucester, even shied away from being photographed with her children when they were young because of her size. She now regrets not having many snaps with them together to look back on and feels that she's hotter now in her 40s than she ever was in her 20s.
