A NURSE dropped from a size 16 to a size six in less than a year – and is now wearing party dress hand-me-downs from her friend’s 21-year-old daughter.
Lorraine Fyfe, 38, from Port Glasgow, lost 12 inches off her waist after committing to slimming when she feared she might become diabetic.
The mum of one piled on the pounds when she started working at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow and grateful families would leave boxes of Celebrations for staff.
She said: “People are always handing in chocolates. I was always on my feet so I used that as an excuse not to go to the gym.”
In 2005, when she started her nurse training, Lorraine was a size six. She recalls how a senior nurse joked, “You’ll be a 14 soon”, when scrubs were handed out.
