Nicola Wood has lost more than seven stone since she began her weight loss journey just over 15 months ago.

The 36-year-old, who dropped from a dress size 26-28 to 12-14, has now been voted 'Woman of the Year' by her fellow Hingham Slimming World members

The annual award recognises members who have "transformed both inside and out by becoming healthier, happier, slimmer and more confident."

Miss Wood said: "Going to a Slimming World group has completely changed my life and I have made so many friends.

"It really is a lifestyle change not a diet and I can't thank my consultant Sally Foreman enough for all her support and for giving me a new lease of life with bags of new found confidence to match.

"I've even been able to climb St Patrick's Holy Mountain, in Ireland, on a recent holiday, something I would have never been able to do before. The view from the top was amazing. It marked the start of a new beginning for me."
