Hannah Nash, 25, said she did not want to keep going to groups while she was "big".

The carer, from Norfolk Road, Sheringham, lost 6st 3.5lbs in just over a year and is now 10st 12lbs, but she still wants to lose another 6lbs.

She said: "I started at Slimming World in Sheringham just over a year ago. I wanted to be able to run with my son Rupert, who is one, and not keep going to groups while I was big.

"I feel 100 times better. I did suffer from anxiety before.

"I did not have to give up any particular foods. I just followed the plan."

Jane Keil, Slimming World consultant and training developer in Norfolk, said: "She's certainly an inspiration to other local young mums who would like to improve their health for their new families."
