Mum and daughter who weighed 44st left totally unrecognisable after ditching junk food

A mum and daughter who tipped the scales at 44 stone between them are have undergone a dramatic transformation after ditching junk food.

Angela, 63, and 32-year-old Katie Warrell have lost 15 stone in total after eating their way to 24st and 20st respectively.

Angela used to eat around 35 packets of crisps and drink more than a dozen cans of Coke per week while her daughter would indulge on chocolate and sweets.

The pair would get through entire sharing bags in one sitting - after large meals of battered chicken and chips, the Daily Record reports.

But they decided to swap the junk with healthy alternatives like fruit and veg after Angela couldn't fit her seatbelt round her on a flight during a family holiday.

The pair, from Portnoy in Scotland, joined Slimming World and signed up to a strict diet and exercise regimen.

Now they enjoy healthy meals like salads, home-made soups, yoghurt with fruit and veg stir-fry.

Instead of snacking on crisps and chocolate they now opt for fruit if they get peckish between meals.

Katie, who was 20st and is now 14st, said: "It was hard at first but it gets easier when you see the weight coming off.”

Angela, now 14st 13lb, added: “I’m looking forward to going on a plane and not asking for an extension."
