Congratulations have flooded in from readers for super slimmer Sarah Glaister-Mackereth, who managed to transform from a size 24 to a size 10 and says she feels "like a new woman."

Sarah, who has lost a life-changing 8st 6lb, after attending Wigton Slimming World Group, has taken the title of Greatest Loser which is awarded to the member who has lost the most weight.

She still enjoys some of her favourite meals including pasta and potatoes, but by making some simple changes, such as choosing low fat meats, and increasing her vegetable intake she's been able to shed the stones.

She said: "I look so different that people who I haven’t seen for a while often can’t believe I’m the same person.

“I have to say though, it’s the change on the inside that’s been the greatest. I’m happier, healthier and much more confident now.”
