Chelsea Pateman, 23, would splash 40 to 50 per order on home delivery Pizza Hut orders with husband Matt and the pair enjoyed gorging on fast food up to four times a week.

The early years practitioner, who scoffed more than half a loaf of white bread, four chocolate bars and four packets of crisps a day, unsurprisingly ballooned to 14st 7lbs.

Chelsea, from Crewe, Cheshire, was mortified when she saw pictures of her huge body after a holiday to Poland - and was inspired to lose a whopping 5st 9lbs in just 15 months.

The stepmum-of-one said: "Matt and I were comfortable in our relationship and we used to binge eat on unhealthy food together.

Soon the couch potato's weight rose to 14st 7lbs and she wore a size 20 to 22.

Chelsea joined Slimming World in July the same year and began losing weight at the rate of about a stone a month.

By November 2015 svelte Chelsea had reached her lowest weight of 8st 8lbs and now wears slinky size eight to 10 clothes although in some styles she even fits into a size six.

She enjoyed a family holiday to Majorca in April last year where she wore shorts and a bikini for the first time ever after covering up in leggings on previous beach breaks.

Chelsea now works out three times a week and enjoys cooking healthy curries, casseroles and stews.

"Last year's holiday was the first time I had ever worn a bikini and shorts, I used to wear leggings on the beach and on a previous holiday had to buy cycling shorts for under my dress because my inner thighs were chafing so badly while I walked.

"Now I look back at pictures of myself and can't believe that was me. Everyone says it's amazing and they can't believe how well I have done but I can't really remember being that big any more - all I have now are photographs to remind me.

Breakfast: Bacon sandwich on two slices of white bread, big bowl of Coco Pops, or skipped breakfast.

Does the 5:2 diet actually work and is it safe? One nutritionist spoke to Express.co.uk to discuss the diet.

Explaining how the diet works, Robert Brennan, fitness, lifestyle and nutrition consultant, said: "The 5:2 diet is simply eating what you would normally for five days of the week; and then restricting calorie intake on two days; 500 for women and 600 for men.

It is best not to count calories at all on the five non-fasting days and whilst it is not a requirement of the diet, I have found far greater results when clients, as well as observing the fast days, eat a generally healthy diet, free from processed foods and rich in vegetables and protein with plenty of water.

I wouldnt call this a diet but rather an eating pattern, as it doesnt prescribe what foods to eat.
