A woman who blew £12k of her student loan on junk food and booze has lost 10st after ditching her unhealthy habits. Nicole Mealey, now 28, was forced to get a part-time job at university to fund her fatty life-style. And, by the time she graduated in March 2013, her weight had ballooned to 23st. Struggling to find flattering clothes for her size 24 figure, Nicole vowed to shed the weight. Now the pretty brunette weighs 12st 10lbs after slimming down to a svelte size 12.
