A pair of super slimmers who weighed almost 40st between them show off their amazing new look after shedding almost half their body weight. Grandparents Jo Beveridge, 50, and John Durkin, 52, tucked into takeaways and indulgent meals during lockdown as 'it was all they had to look forward to'.
But after spending their nights gorging fatty comfort food, John tipped the scales at 21st 8lbs (136kg) while Jo reached 17st 6lbs (110kg). Unhappy with how they looked, they ditched the junk food and daily meal deals for for home-cooked, low-calorie options.
And after shedding 17st between them, they've now been crowned 'couple of the year' by Slimming World. Jo, accounts executive who lost dropped five dress sizes after losing 6st 6lbs, said: “If I’m honest with myself, I’d been unhappy with my weight ever since our first son Alex was born.
