Kim Kardashian has one of the most lusted after bodies on the planet and one woman was so determined to emulate her curvaceous figure that she lost eight stone.

32-year-old Kardashian look-alike Verity Sandford tipped the scales at 19st 2lb when she decided to embark on the weight loss challenge 15 months ago and used Kim's figure as her inspiration.

"I had the perfect Kim K shape, but its full potential was hiding behind rolls of flab," she told The Sun.

"My friends always compared me to Kim when the Kardashians first became well known, because of my big bum. But I wasn’t able to wear the glam, figure-hugging dresses I wanted to."

It wasn't just Kim's figure that kept her on track, Verity admitted she covets the star's designer-packed wardrobe and used pictures of her favourite looks to keep her from throwing in the towel.

She went on: "I absolutely adore her style. I stuck pictures of her on my wardrobe and my fridge to keep me motivated.

"I downloaded two pictures on my phone of her and pasted them together with the word “inspiration” written down the middle and saved it as my screen saver."

Now a svelte size 10, Verity's transformation has turned her into a weight loss idol herself and after documenting her journey on social media she's been helping others who are keen to shed the pounds.

Writing on Twitter last week, Verity reflected on how far she'd come in less than two years.

She wrote: "Another Tuesday...another #transformationtuesday photo @ww_uk a lot can be done in 15 months!"
