Yorkshire mum who ballooned to 25st as she 'never felt full' now unrecognisable after losing half her body weight

When Stacey, from Wakefield, joined, she weighed 25st 2lbs. She said she'd tried multiple diets before and always been left still feeling hungry - so had decided to accompany her mother to Slimming World in April 2019.
