A woman has lost a massive 15st after beating her addiction to cheese. Rachel Margison, 32, from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, once scoffed on 1kg worth of cheese per week – the equivalent of 8 STONE per year. Whether it was Cheddar, Edam or Red Leicester, she just couldn’t get enough. But after ballooning to a huge 28st and a size 32-34, Rachel decided to ditch the dairy once and for all. Now the admin assistant has lost a colossal 15st and is a slinky size 10.
