A woman who once weighed 24 stone decided to go on a serious diet after breaking a hotel bed not once, but twice.
Nanette Young, 39, was holidaying in Greece when the bed collapsed under her size 32 frame.
When the couple returned from the holiday in 2013, Young decided to overhaul her lifestyle and inspired her partner Melanie Ramsdale, 30, to do the same.
The couple ditched takeaways and pub food for healthy alternatives and started taking their dog, Teddy, for regular walks. Now, Young weighs 11st 5lbs and wears a size 12, while Ramsdale is 9st and a size eight.

Before she decided to go on a diet Young became so paranoid that she would break other people's furniture that she started carrying her own chair around with her.
"It was the most embarrassing moment of my life when the bed broke, I just couldn't believe it," she said.
"I went to sit down and the frame just went, then after that I lay down and another part broke too."
