Mum's own family didn't recognise her after seven stone weight loss

A mum who lost a staggering seven stone said her own family didn't recognise her after her weight loss.

Jean Price, from Leasowe, Wirral, dropped seven dress sizes in just over a year - from a size 26 to a size 12, leaving her auntie unable to recognise her when she walked past her. The 53-year-old, who suffers from a lung condition called Bronchiectasis, turned to food for comfort while caring for her dad and struggling with her own health.

Things came to a head for Jean when she was diagnosed with type two diabetes shortly after her brother died from complications relating to the same condition.
