A 42-year-old woman, who weighed 20 stone and was a size 28, has now gone from 20 stone to 13 stone and is a size 14 within 10 months.
Kelly McCracken would eat pizza, chips, cakes and even eat leftover pizza for breakfast and would drink five liters of cola a day.
After giving birth to her sixth child, her eating went out of control and she ballooned to 20 stone and her boyfriend Steven Hall had to help her dress and wash.
In March last year, she was rushed to a hospital with diabetes and high blood pressure and was told by the doctors: “Diet or die.”
The doctors told her she would not make it to Christmas if she doesn’t change her eating habits.
Kelly said: “I was in the hospital bed and made Steven sign me up to Weight Watchers online. That was the day my life changed.”
She started her weight loss journey and began eating healthy and doing exercise.
Kelly said her son used to tell his teacher that he was scared his mother might die because he knew his mummy was bigger than other mummies.
Her weight was a problem for her boyfriend Steven as well as he had to help her dress and wash as Kelly was not able to put on socks and wear trousers.
The most humiliating thing for Kelly was Steven had to wash her because she was too fat to get in and out of the shower.
After the doctors’ warning, she made a change in her lifestyle and has now lost more than a third of her body weight in 10 months. She now weighs 13 stone and is a size 14.
Kelly can now wear clothes that would never have fitted her before and loves going to the gym.
She said: “But the magical thing is my son now puts his arms around me for a hug and says, ‘Look how thin you are, Mummy’. I was too big for him to fit his arms around me before.”
Kelly is happier and healthier than ever and is now focusing on maintaining her new figure.
