It was the strain of moving to Cardiff at the age of 10 – leaving her friends and starting afresh at a new school – that prompted Paige to turn to food for comfort. She began spending all her pocket money on chocolate, and by the age of 14, she was a size 20 and well over 13st.

Unhappy at school, Paige dreamed of leaving to escape the teasing about her size.
That was until she joined Wendy Brown’s Slimming World group in Thornhill, where she lost 5lbs in her first week, 2st in four months, and started to come out of her shell. Now she’s a slim size 10, and – far from abandoning her education – she’s hoping she’ll soon be heading for university!

Find out how easily Paige has stayed at her target weight for a year – plus more about her exciting plans for the future – on p8 of the July issue of Slimming World magazine.
