Weight loss is not easy to achieve but a diet and exercise plan will help kick start results. One woman lost a remarkable 10st 1lb and seven dress sizes after making a huge change to her lifestyle. What diet plan did she use?

Holly Hague, 27, had always struggled with her weight and would comfort eating to deal with insecurities.

Over the years, she noticed her weight creep up to 21st 5lb and she squeezed into a size 26.

Two years ago, the dieter decided enough was enough and signed up for her local slimming group.

Since then, Holly has transformed her diet and exercise regime and managed to drop an impressive 10 stone.

She said: I know this is clich but at the end of 2017 I was in the mindset of new year new me.

"I knew I wanted fast weight loss that really would change my eating habits for good.

I spent my childhood being chunkier than others in my class and far too many years comfort eating to drown out the mean remarks. It was time I found my self-worth.

The dieter signed up for the LighterLife plan which focused on eating calorie-controlled meals.

DON'T MISS

Holly added: The LighterLife Total Plan was perfect for me because it took food out of the equation.

I didnt have to obsess or worry over the number of calories or if Id unknowingly eaten the wrong thing.

Each day Id have four products which were around 800 kcal: breakfast was a Vanilla Shake with coffee, Chocolate Raisin Bar for lunch, followed by a Chicken Noodle FastPot for dinner and a Toffee Bar.

By changing her diet plan, Holly dropped to 11st 4lb and a slim size 10/12 in just one year. She has since kept the weight off.

Not only did healthy eating help her stay in shape, the slimmer has added exercise into her regime.

This past year Ive found this enjoyment for exercise which I never imagined Id have, Holly added. Ill be keeping up my gym membership!
