When Kim Eyre saw a rare 20-pound 9-pound photo, she was stunned by the sight in front of her.

"I'm ashamed. You know you are big, but you shut it out," said the 34-year-old King.

From that moment on, the single mother of three children vowed that she would do something about it. Since that photo was taken two years ago, she has lost more than eight stones.

Kim from Carlton said: "I tried before but failed because my mentality was incorrect. I went to weigh and said I didn't cheat, but I obviously because I didn't "don't lose weight." "

Jin admits that she is an emotional eater, and if anything goes wrong, she will "reach out for milk." She has also developed some bad habits, such as biting Greggs at 11 am, serving sausage rolls or pies as morning snacks, and eating potato chips in the car.

"On the way home from get off work, I can put three or four packs of potato chips in the car. This is a case of,'No one has seen me eat them, so it doesn't count'," said Kim, who was in Lashk. Leif School.

In August 2011, she returned to the Slimming World of the Mapperley Plains Social Club, this time she was determined to succeed. She started a diet plan called "Super Simple", which is slightly different from Slimming World's traditional green days with high carbohydrate content or red days with high protein content.

Kim said: "It's very simple, basically, a lot of food, such as potatoes and pasta are'free.' So you can eat a jacket potato with chicken breast, but the golden rule is that one-third of your plate is full Foods such as'super free' salads, vegetables or fruits.

"It really worked for me, because when I started, I could eat a large salad and I had gradually reduced my portion."

One surprising food has become the savior of her afternoon cravings.

"I eat pea paste. I like them and they are classified as free. If I get hungry when I get home, then I will eat some pea paste before dinner," Jin said with a smile.

She was also allowed to eat a certain amount of "syns" every day, in the form of low-fat potato chips, chocolate or cereal bars-the more indulgent snacks, the higher their syns content. Kim devised a way to ensure that she does not have too many synchronizations in a week.

"All I did was put my week’s synthesizer-my Alpen stick and my low-fat potato chips-in a box. Then if I want to eat five a day I can, but I can see it with my own eyes What do I have left for the rest of the week," King said.

"Because I am a real tasteful person, my savior for the past few years has been Boots shapers potato chips. I have never been hungry; there is always something you can eat."

Her amazing weight-loss results drew praise from her children Harvey, 14-year-old and 8-year-old twins Oscar and Maisie.

"They are really proud, even older people don't speak much, you can tell. When my daughter hugged me and said she can now put her arms around me, I almost suffocated," Jin said .

After trying different diets in the past, Kim understands that it is not easy for overweight people to stay motivated while losing weight.

She said: "We all want to lose weight, but it has the willpower to stick to what you need to do.

"I have always been the biggest person in the photo.

"I have reached the point where I don't like it anymore. I don't want my eldest son to be embarrassed because I am his mother.

"To be honest, I don't know what happened, I just clicked something this time. I'm very focused and determined.

"I now attend Zumba classes 3 times a week and go to Nuffield Stadium at least once a week. My previous exercise included playing a game on the Wii every few months. I feel healthier."

Sheila Holmes, a 66-year-old mother from Mapperley, said she can’t be proud of Kim: “The whole family has always supported her. She had many wrong starts in the past, but she said that she was determined to do so this time. She gained more confidence and More vitality. This gave her new life."

Slimming world leader Debbie Wilson has worked in Knotts for more than 20 years. She said that King was her biggest loser in years.

Debbie said: "When she came, she lost a little weight, but always rebounded. This time she did a good job. She is completely on a diet. She is really organized and determined, and I think this is the key. "

Kim hopes that by the end of August she can achieve her goal of losing 9 stones-she even plans to host a party with family and friends to celebrate her two years of dieting.

Jin said: "I feel better, not only physically, but also mentally. As the saying goes, "It's like the burden on my shoulders is lifted off," which is literal to me."
