英國大媽2年內成功減肥125公斤

Carole Wright, 54, was unable to put on her own shoes because of her size two years ago. Her weight at 29st 10lb meant she was forced to sit on a brick wall at a barbecue two years ago over fears she could break a plastic garden chair.

今年54歲的Carole Wright，兩年前曾經因爲太肥胖，連自己穿鞋都困難。她擁有29英石又10磅(約190公斤)的體重一度只能坐在烤爐壁上，以免把塑料凳坐壞。(注：stone， 英石，重量單位，1英石=6.35千克)

But since then, Carole, has turned her life around and shed two-thirds of her body weight to tip the scales at 10st.

但自從那時起，Carole改變了自己的人生，成功減掉了三分之二的體重，體重變爲10英石(約60公斤)。

"The doctor said, 'If you don't do something about your weight, you're going to be dead in two years.'It was terrifying to hear, but I didn't know where to go for help," she said.

她記得醫生說過：“如果你再不對你的體重做些什麼的話，你將會在兩年內死去。”

She realised she had to change her lifestyle when she joined a slimming club."Weighing almost 30st was a huge shock and I burst into tears," she said. "All I ever did was watch television or sit on the computer. It got to the stage where I wasn't only trapped inside the house, I was trapped in my own body too and I couldn't see a way out."

她意識到她需要改變生活方式，於是她加入了一個減肥俱樂部。“重達30英石的體重對我是個巨大的打擊，我瞬間淚流滿面”，她說道，“過去我所做的就是天天坐在電視或者電腦前，我不僅僅被限制在房間裏，也被限制在自己的體型裏，我找不到出路”。

Carole, who is a petite 5ft 3in, lost a stone in her first week of eating healthy home-cooked meals, and lost a stone every month for the next year.

身高5英尺3英寸(約1.6米)的她在吃了一禮拜家庭健康餐後減掉了1英石，接着的每個月都能減去英1石體重。

Carole was named Slimming World's woman of the year 2011."I can do all of the little things everyone else takes for granted like putting my own shoes on, painting my toe nails and walking up stairs —in fact, I run up them now," she said."The last time I weighed 10st I was 10 years old. My only regret is that I didn't do it 35 years ago, but to make up for lost time I plan to grow old disgracefully."

Carole的努力讓她獲得了2011年世界苗條女士的稱號。“現在我可以做所有那些大家都理所當然做到的事情，像穿鞋、塗腳甲、上樓梯等，”她說，“上一次體重停留在10石的還是在我10歲那年。唯一感到遺憾的是我沒有在35年前就開始這麼做(指減肥)。但是我現在可以彌補我丟掉的時間啦，我打算在這個年紀過得‘放縱點’。”

"For the first time in my life I feel normal and it's a great feeling."

“這是我一生第一次感到和正常人一樣，這讓我感覺很棒！”
