excellent pieces of journalism, detailing events and lessons that matter. Then there is the

mess that is The Daily Mail. Not all awful, but for the most part, quite enraging and pathetic. And that was what struck me the most. The news that resonated with me most, was the stories that did not belong in a newspaper, they belong in a cheap magazine somewhere. And some articles shouldn’t belong anywhere. I already dislike gossip magazines, but I can choose to ignore them completely by choosing to not buy them. I believe the things they publish just make people feel bad about themselves and are no better than school bullies, pointing out flaws, poking at peoples lives and highlighting the pointless. I have extracted articles (mostly from DM) from newspapers and news sites, that I think should never be considered journalism. The articles are real, I‘ve just adapted the headlines to read what they are really saying to me and added my owns thoughts too.

GROUP OF WOMEN GO ON A DIET 'Now we won't be wobbly for our weddings!' Three overweight brides lost a combined 5 STONE over ten weeks to shape up for their big days


Anyone searching for a little inspiration to lose weight before their wedding should take a look at these leading ladies. Kat Badley, 29, Vicki Smart, 30 and Lisa Wright, 45, lost a combined 5st between them over just 10 weeks in preparation for their weddings this year. As part of This Morning's Weight Loss Wedding, the women have overhauled their diet and worked with top nutritionists and personal trainers. Vicki, who weighed 13st 5lbs, lost 1st 2 lbs and went from a size 16 to a 14. Lisa, the oldest of all three, lost the most amount of weight, slimming down from size 18-20 to size 16. She lost 2st 2lbs for her nuptials in three weeks time. This Morning teamed up with nutritionist Kim Pearson who devised a healthy eating plan for the women. Based on the low glycemic method, it’s high in protein and low in carbs and sugar. She said: ‘I’ve really surprised myself through the whole process. It’s given me a new lease of life. ‘I come home and instead of just sitting on the sofa I’m meal prepping and doing exercise. ‘I think it’s made me much happier, a lot more confident and really boosted my self-esteem. ‘I’m the sort of person I’ve always wanted to be. It’s life-changing.’ As well as following the strict diet plan the women upped their exercise, taking up running, boxing, dancing and bootcamp training with trainer James Farmer. Vicki, a self-confessed chocoholic and mother of two was size 16 before taking on the Weight Loss Wedding 10-week challenge. ◊ By DAILY MAIL REPORTER PUBLISHED: 13:19, 10 July 2014 UPDATED: 12:42, 11 July 2014
