Woman lost 72lbs after 'disgusting' Christmas picture made her join Slimming World

A woman who found herself 'disgusted' by a picture taken of her on Christmas day decided to join Slimming World after realising she had been avoiding mirrors and cameras. Caroline McNeil, 40, weighed 15st 5lb when her husband took a picture of her on Christmas morning and sent it to her - she deleted the image immediately.
