DON'T you admire people like Bolton nurse Pat Wolfenden who lose huge amounts of weigh to turn their lives around?
Pat, from Blackrod, used to weight almost 18 stone and has dropped to 10st 7lb, and her dress size is down from 24 to 12.
She did it with discipline and by going to Val McKnight's local Rosemary Conley health and fitness class.
She's totally inspirational, especially as she has kept the weight off for the past year.
If there's one thing that will prompt many of us to get the pounds off this New Year it's Pat looking fantastic at 50.
