A woman shed 75lbs and is now helping others do the same after being mortified at a ‘horrifying’ photo taken at a party. Personal trainer Emma Taylor, 45, tipped the scales at 14st 1lb after her weight ballooned from a diet of fast food and sugary snacks.
She would regularly eat two takeaways a day, including a McDonalds for lunch and a kebab for dinner. But she was jolted into shifting the pounds after seeing a photo of herself at a party taken by her sister-in-law.
The 5'1" mum-of-five was shocked by the photo and thought she looked like a 'little barrel'. And she used it as inspiration for her new fitness regime that saw her drop five dress sizes from a tight-fitting size 16, to a loose size 6.
