WOMAN LOSES 11ST AFTER BREAKING TOILET SEAT

The pretty brunette from Hertford now weighs a svelte 12st 10lbs and wears a size 14 - a shadow of her 23st 10lb former self. Gemma, who works as a communications and campaigns officer for Hertfordshire County Council, says: “I’d been unhappy with my weight for years, and I remember feeling fat as young as thirteen.
