A veterinary secretary has lost the equivalent of a baby elephant in weight after a two-year diet.

Kim Stock lost 99kg (15st 8lbs) after being told her weight was one of the reasons she could not get pregnant.

‘People used to shout at me in the street. School boys would offer me “more cake”, things like that.

‘I was stuck in a vicious cycle. I would hide indoors and eat away the pain of being hated by random strangers.’


The 41-year-old, who is 160cm tall (5ft 4in), has now been able to go on holiday to Portugal with her fiance Peter Nelson, 35.



It was her first trip abroad for a decade.

‘The thought of asking for an extension to go around me or touching some stranger next to me because I overflowed the edges of my seat was mortifying, and the looks that this would accompany this stopped me from flying,’ she told the Mail Online.

‘This meant that I never had a chance to say goodbye to my nanny, who lived in Australia, in person – sadly, she died last year. She was my number one fan and followed my weight-loss progress with a keen eye.

‘I’ve just had my first flight abroad to Portugal with my fiance, and it wasn’t scary at all. There was loads of room in my seatbelt. I even took pictures to prove it.’

Before she went on the diet, Ms Stock weighed 168kg (26st 8lbs), was a size 32 and had a dangerously high BMI of 65.

After two years on the Cambridge Weight Plan, she now weighs 69kg (11st) and can fit into a size ten.
