A woman who lost half her own body weight has been crowned Slimming World's Woman of the Year 2019.

Wendy Deacon, 49, from Dublin, shed an incredible 12 stone 4.5 pounds and is now unrecognisable following her transformation.

She says she was inspired to lose weight after her daughter began to fear she may "eat herself to death".

After originally weighing 22 stone 4.5 pounds Wendy has managed to lose more than half of that and now weighs in at just 10 stone.

Her journey saw her drop 11 dress sizes from a size 32 to a size 10 or 12.

Wendy said her weight began to make her not want to leave the house and despite coming across as "jolly and smiley", inside, she felt anything but.

She said: "I remember once a small boy pointed at me in the street and said 'look at that fat lady' to his mother.

"She tried to hush him, but the damage was done. I'd never felt so embarrassed, I just wanted the ground to swallow me up."

Wendy decided to do something about her weight when she found out that her daughter Amy was fearing for her life.

"Hearing that broke my heart and I knew I needed to change," Wendy said. "The thought of my daughter being so worried about my health really spurred me into action."

She said the weight-loss and recognition have given her the confidence to plan a wedding to her long-term fiance, and she is now looking forward to her 50th birthday in January.

"By far the best thing about losing weight though is seeing the pride in my family's faces, especially Amy's. I've finally started to feel proud of myself too - I've got my whole life back."

Wendy said she found it difficult to get used to cooking from scratch on the Slimming World plan - but was helped by her local group.
