Most women would jump at the chance to put on some lipstick, sling on a pair of heels and head out for a romantic meal with their other half. But for super-sized mum Zeena Macdonald, 37, it was her worst nightmare. At 24 stone and a size 24, the home helper and mum-of-four was so ashamed of her appearance that she shunned date nights in favour of baggy sweatpants and a takeaway in front of the TV.

Now the former couch potato is a slinky size 10 and has never felt better.
