A woman who ate greasy takeaways every other day has lost almost 6 stone after years of her body being in "unbearable pain". Nicola Parkin started struggling with her weight after the stresses of marriage and motherhood took over her life.
She ballooned to 19 stone and often suffered intense periods, which only fuelled her comfort eating. When Nicola became "too scared to leave the house", the 43-year-old knew something had to change.
Nicola, who is married to husband Barry, 56, told the Mirror: "I was miserable every day. I had tried to lose weight a few times but only lost around one stone until I gave up, as I struggled to cut back on overeating.
