A simple change in diet helped a woman shed over four stone in weight. Lorraine Blackmore, 54, says that she decided to do something about the issue ahead of starting a new job after battling her weight for a number of years, reports the Manchester Evening News.Lorraine, from Woodley, tried all sorts of diets over the years but after getting a new role as a secretary at a conservative club, she vowed to “knuckle down.” She joined a slimming group and after a simple change to her diet change she went on to lose almost five stone in weight – going from 17-and-a-half stone to just over 13.

She said: “I still have weight to lose but I don’t put myself under any pressure about it.”“I’m more confident and I’m a shopaholic now, I’m always buying new clothes.

It’s nice to be able to open my wardrobe and know things will fit. It’s just being able to go somewhere and pick something off the peg and know it’ll fit.”Lorraine says the main thing that has helped is not being restricted on what she eats.Although she eats healthily every day, Lorraine is also able to treat herself to a “cheat day” once a week where she allows herself to eat whatever she wants.The mum-of-one has also recently taken up swimming.“I don’t ever say I’m on a diet anymore,” she added. “I just say I eat healthy.

When I was younger, I would always say, ‘I need to do this diet, I can’t have this or that’.“There’s nothing I say I can’t have.
