A SUPER slimmer is discovering a new world after halving her dress size and shedding more than five stone.

Emma Meek, 21, of Wood Vue, Spennymoor, launched her weight loss campaign after seeing holiday photographs from a trip to France last summer.

Following her mother, Andrea Meek, Emma started attending weekly Slimming World in the town.

Emma, who works with adults with learning disabilities at the Oak Centre in Newton Aycliffe, is now a size 10 and weighs under 10 stone.

Slimming World classes are held at the town's Salvation Army Hall, Dundas Street, every Tuesday, at 10am. For details call Marion Nelson on (01388) 609882.
