A mum-of-four has stood up to yobs who cruelly chanted "who ate all the pies?" at her in the street by shedding over 12 stone.
Tricia Appleby, 54, had ballooned up to 23 stone at her heaviest but has since dropped more than 15 dress sizes after embarking on her weightloss journey.
Tricia, who works as a healthcare receptionist, says she had been obese since she was a teenager and used to have people chant at her on the street - with some even making jokes about her own weight.
