Woman who dropped SEVEN dress sizes says she used to weigh more than the scales could take

A woman who used to ‘weigh more than the scales could measure’ has dropped SEVEN dress sizes - and says she feels 40 years younger. Fiona Neilson, 64, used to suffer from heart failure and was unable to walk around her house without getting out of breath.

However, at 60 she decided she needed a new lease of life and began trying to lose weight. She struggled until she found Slimming World in October 2021 – and by June 2022 she had lost four stone and seven pounds.

Now, she’s halved her dress size – shrinking from a size 28 to a size 14 - and says she's never been happier. Fiona said: “I’m 64 and I’ve been overweight for most of my adult life. I never thought I could lose weight and be slim and happy.
