The 44-year-old mother of three has lost an amazing 6st 5lb in time to enjoy a slim festive and party season.

To add icing to her cake, Jackie has changed her hairstyle for the first time and enjoyed a complete makeover at a Colchester hair salon to go with her new, streamline look.

Jackie, of Laing Road, Colchester, joined Slimming World in February, weighing it at 17st 5lb.

She is now at target at 11st and said she feels slim for the first time in years.
