Overweight student who couldn't fit on tube seat sheds an incredible nine stone

As a university student, Hannah Schofield found she piled on the pounds until she was tipping the scales at 18st 5lbs.

Eating almost anything she could get her hands on, she loved sweets, chocolate and takeaways, admitting her lifestyle was anything but healthy. But it took a trip to London for Hannah's life to change forever.

Realising she could no longer fit on a single Tube seat, she realised something had to be done. Now, after a radical overhaul, the 30-year-old from Lincoln has lost over nine stones and is enjoying life following her total body transformation. To top it all, she has also become a champion bodybuilder competing for titles across the country.
