Nadina Knight, Dropped Four Dress Sizes And Became Miss Northampton, England

She said: 'The whole Miss England experience was incredible. I was with everyone for four days straight and you really start to become a family. I enjoyed myself so much. I made some great friends. The rumours you hear about beauty pageants being catty aren't true, everyone was really friendly. Once you're in, you're part of it forever.' As for losing the weight, Nadina says she is more confident than she has ever been before. She said: 'It has been bizarre after losing all of the weight. I look completely different and people who knew me then don't recognise me now. It has given me the confidence I didn't have before, I'm happier and most importantly I'm healthier which was my main goal.'
Nadina's top 10 flab fighting tips:
1. Swap white for brown: 'Ditch white carbohydrates in favour of wholemeal. Think brown bread, brown pasta and brown rice. This is such an easy rule to stick to and I noticed the difference almost immediately - less bloating and more energy.'
