‘I lost 20 stone after doc said I could die in 2 years’

A BRITISH woman who lost almost 20 stone after being told by her doctor that she could be dead within two years has dropped 12 dress sizes to be named Slimming World’s Woman of the Year 2011.

Carole Wright, 54, from Southport, Merseyside, weighed almost 30 stone and was virtually housebound, unable to perform simple tasks such as putting on her shoes or loading the washing machine — leaving her house just four times between January and September 2009.

In just over two years, Wright has lost 19 stone 10lbs and 27 inches from her waist after attending her local Slimming World group.
