Two ladies have transformed their lives after losing an incredible 12 and a half stones between them.
Mother of one Rachel Catton, 29, and Rebecca Harrison, 35, both from Soham, have shed the weight since they joined Soham’s Slimming World club, which is run by Diane Anderson.
When Mrs Catton joined slimming world in April 2013, she weighed 19st.
Since then, through her hard work and with the support of the group, she has lost six and a half stone.
She said: “I would have struggled to lose weight on my own, but being part of a group was the key to my success.
