A mum, who struggled with her weight the majority of her life, shed an incredible 16 stone. Kelly Barker made the life-changing choice to lose weight after seeing an image of herself queuing up for a buffet at a family christening.
The teacher said she was left 'mortified' after seeing the image and decided she needed to change her lifestyle. The 42-year-old had spent years hiding behind baggy clothes, and avoided looking in full-length mirrors.
Speaking exclusively to the Liverpool Echo, she said: "If I'm honest I've kind of been overweight all my life. [When I was at school] I was overweight and my mum, through the GP, had referred me to a dietician.
