Husband and wife drop 27 stone after being abused in the street

A married couple lost a staggering 27 stones between them after having abuse shouted at them in the street.

Kieron Buxton, 50, and wife Helen, 51, decided to get into shape after suffering health problems. At one point mental health charity worker Kieron tipped the scales at almost 30 stone and was so big he couldn’t even put his own socks and shoes on.

The couple, who have been married for 16 years, lived on a diet of fried breakfasts, biscuits, takeaways and beer and wine. Kieron and Helen, who weighed almost 18-and-a-half stone, decided to get healthy after Kieron was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
