Suzanne Bland has every reason to be celebrating after her steady dieting led to a spectacular success.
The 30-year-old, from Hoxton Road in Scarborough, succeeded in losing a massive 16 stones.
Mrs Bland decided to go on her marathon diet after her 11-year-old son, Stephen, saw a programme on television about losing weight and said: "I wish you could be like that, mum."
She said: "That started me thinking. I'd been taunted for years about my weight, so I decided to change my eating habits."
It took Suzanne two and a half years to lose the weight and she is now down to a trim 12st.
"Losing weight has completely changed my life. I feel so much better and more confident."
