A woman who was addicted to GREGGS has lost 9st after giving up her favourite food. Jackie Smithers forked out £50 a week on greasy snacks at the high street bakery chain, and eventually tipped the scales at 19st 7lbs. The 29-year-old from Welwyn, Hertfordshire, ditched her calorific habit for good when she realised her unhealthy diet was ruining her life.
