How To Lose Weight: Teenager Sheds Six Stone, Praises Slimming World Diet And Exercise

Teenager Sheds Six Stone And Drops Five Dress Sizes
|

Comfort-eating teenager Paige Stoodley dropped six stone and five dress sizes before starting a new life at university.

The 18-year-old previously weighed 17 stone, but chose to lose weight to regain her confidence.

"I was scared to apply for university when I was the size I was," she says, saying that her big personality was a way to cover up insecurities.

She has been crowned Slimming World Young Slimmer of the Year.
