Mum and husband pushed to lose 17st together after young son calls her 'fat'

A mum and dad who found the motivation to change their lifestyle after their youngest son called them "fat" have collectively lost an impressive 17st in just one year.

Nerissa Stewart, 38, and her husband Chris Stewart, also 38, went viral after sharing their weight loss journey online, and have shared how they were inspired to become "healthy and active" after a comment made by one of their five kids.

The parents were both active for many years but had put on weight since their marriage in 2014 and after suffering from joint pain, Chris was also prescribed high blood pressure medication.
