She said: 'I gave myself four weeks - that’s how long I thought I’d last at slimming club. But by the end of the fifth week I was still there, and I was amazed to find that I’d lost a stone and a half. As I kept losing more and more, I was only more motivated to keep going with the eating plan.'
Today, Miss Nicholson weighs 11st 2lb.
She said: 'I have so much more energy now and keeping up
with the kids is great fun - we race each other on the school run.
'James always loved me the way I was, but it’s something
that I had to do for myself. I’m so glad I managed to keep going, when I only
gave myself a few weeks to start with.
'My life has changed out of all recognition - I feel so
much better now, and I don’t worry about putting photos on Facebook any more.'
