A husband and wife lost an astonishing 27 stone between them after having abuse shouted at them in the street. Kieron Buxton, 50, and Helen, 51, decided to take action when Kieron developed diabetes.
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.
After a leg injury was struggling to heal, Kieron was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It pushed the couple to join Slimming World - which they did, on February 14, 2020 just weeks before lockdown - and in just two years they shed an incredible 27 stones.
