THREE stones lighter and Lorraine Whittle has a new career.

Mum-of-one, Lorraine slimmed from 13st 6lbs to a trim 10st 6lbs ... in just seven months.

Now she's sharing her slimming secrets with two Slimming World classes in Bolton.

"I was asked to take over the classes on St Helens Road," she says, "and I was delighted to accept.

"If someone had told me a couple of years ago that I'd be running a slimming class, I would have said they were mad."

Lorraine's classes are held at the Methodist Church on St Helens Road on Tuesday's at 5.30pm and 7.30pm.
