An overweight mum has shed five-and-a-half stone during lockdown - by kicking her 11k-a-year McDonald's addiction.
Poppy Stainsby, 24, used to gorge on burgers and takeaways everyday and would often blow 30 in a sitting - totalling 10,950 a year.
Her habit left her tipping the scales at 18st and struggling to squeeze into a size 20.
But she has slimmed to a size 10 and now weighs a healthier 12st 4lbs after embarking on a lockdown diet and exercise regime.
Poppy was able to squeeze in two workouts and an evening walk because she was working from home during lockdown.
She used the time she previously spent commuting to follow high-intensity Instagram workouts and taught herself to cook healthily.
The office clerk, from Kings Lynn, Norfolk, said: "I am amazed at how quickly the weight came off me.
Thousands of children in Birmingham face a Christmas without a proper home this year - but there is something you can do.
Our campaign, Grant a Christmas #BrumWish, aims to help buy presents for more than 1,000 youngsters cramped together, sharing beds, in soulless rooms in B&Bs, and others who will be in a Women's Aid refuge.
It is all through an Amazon Wish List - meaning you can personally buy a present that will be delivered before December 25.
Make sure you set delivery to the #BrumWish Campaign, and we will ensure the presents get to the kids.
If you can't get on Amazon, you can donate cash through the Winter Wellbeing VirginMoney page - just make sure to put the word BRUM in the comments so it comes through to #BrumWish.
I actually feel confident in myself and I can go for walks without getting out of breath.
Ive completely transformed my lifestyle - I now cook myself nice meals like salmon and rice and actually exercise.
I used to get sore feet and get out of breath from just going shopping.
Now I go on long walks and bike rides all the time.
Poppy made the decision to start losing weight in January, after she had had enough of the sore feet and back pain and wanted to get in shape for her wedding in September 2021.
In the first three months she struggled to shift the pounds and only lost a stone but after joining Slimming World and having a strict lifestyle change over lockdown she is now close to her 12 stone target.
Poppy has transformed her lifestyle and no longer binges on takeaways, instead cooking healthy homemade meals with fresh ingredients and regularly doing home workouts.
Poppy now wears crop tops and bikinis without worrying about her body.
Over lockdown she would wake up early, squeeze in a workout before work and then workout again after she finished. She would often go for a five mile walk around her local area.
She has now swapped her daily McDonald's for healthy meals like chicken and green beans.
Poppy used to have McDonald's breakfasts as well as KFC lunches and Dominoes dinners but has now completely scrapped the greasy food.
I actually cook now, Poppy said.
I would have a takeaway everyday and food was my comfort but now Im eating the good stuff - like loads of fruit and veg.
And Ive been loving doing home workouts all the time.
Im so much more body confident and Im so glad I finally got myself into shape.
I can actually walk to the shops or a hill without getting out of breath and hurting my feet.
I also just went wedding shopping and can get into a size 10 dress.
I feel amazing and I am so proud of myself to have achieved this.
I feel like the best version of myself.
