英国大妈2年内减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岁的Carole Wright，两年前曾经因为太肥胖，连自己穿鞋都困难。她拥有29英石又10磅(约190公斤)的体重一度只能坐在烤炉壁上，以免把塑料凳坐坏。(注：stone， 英石，重量单位，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.

　　但自从那时起，Carole改变了自己的人生，成功减掉了三分之二的体重，体重变为10英石(约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.

　　她记得医生说过：“如果你再不对你的体重做些什么的话，你将会在两年内死去。”

　　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."

　　她意识到她需要改变生活方式，于是她加入了一个减肥俱乐部。“重达30英石的体重对我是个巨大的打击，我瞬间泪流满面”，她说道，“过去我所做的就是天天坐在电视或者电脑前，我不仅仅被限制在房间里，也被限制在自己的体型里，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(约1.6米)的她在吃了一礼拜家庭健康餐后减掉了1英石，接着的每个月都能减去英1石体重。

　　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的努力让她获得了2011年世界苗条女士的称号。“现在我可以做所有那些大家都理所当然做到的事情，像穿鞋、涂脚甲、上楼梯等，”她说，“上一次体重停留在10石的还是在我10岁那年。唯一感到遗憾的是我没有在35年前就开始这么做(指减肥)。但是我现在可以弥补我丢掉的时间啦，我打算在这个年纪过得'放纵点'。”

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

　　“这是我一生第一次感到和正常人一样，这让我感觉很棒！”
