Becky used to be a size eight, but piled on the pounds when she had children, leaving her reluctant to have her photo taken and dreading formal occasions.

The stationary designer who runs online company Dots and Spots was a prolific social media user, and Ideal Home magazine saw her photos of her own pretty home studio.

She was delighted when they popped round for a shoot at her Victorian terrace home in July 2010, but was devastated when the photos appeared in their January 2011 issue.

The 14st 10lb mum from Street, Somerset ditched junk food and managed to lose three stone in a year, but piled half if it back on the following year.

A year ago she joined Slimming World and saw the pounds fall away, thanks to a super healthy diet and regular running, and now she weighs just 8st 10lbs.

Delighted Becky, who is married to teacher Jeff, 46, said: “I feel 20 years younger.

“I can fit into my wedding dress again and I had my hair dyed peroxide white blonde like I used to do in my 20s.”

“I feel so much better in myself.”

Becky, who has a 15-year-old daughter and a son, 13, added: “I have always loved shopping but instead of buying what I could now I can buy want I want.”
