A mother and daughter have lost an incredible 34st between them the weight of almost three men.

Before the weight loss Liz Paice and Wendy Kenney tipped the scales at 28st each but gastric bypass surgeries have caused the weight to fall off.

32-year-old Liz let her weight spiral out of control with binges on Caramac bars, family-sized pies and huge fry ups.

Since the operation, she has lost an astonishing 17st and now weighs just 11st and is a size 14.

Liz said: "I have two daughters and I wanted to live to see them grow up.

"I watched my mum have horrible health problems, and I saw myself mirrored in her.

"It came to a point where I'd yo-yo dieted a lot and I needed to do something about it.

Liz realised her weight was a problem around three years ago and it took her a further two years before she could get the gastric bypass surgery on the NHS.

She added: I went to the hospital for classes to help change my way of thinking when it came to food and to identify the source of my eating.

"My problems with eating started when I was young - I used to secretly eat and used it as an emotional crutch.

"I used to eat 100 profiteroles, 150 Caramac bars, hot dogs out of the tin - that sort of thing.

The weight loss has had a positive impact on the family as Lizs eldest daughter Allison has even joined the gym at just age 11 so she can lose weight.

Lizs mother, 52-year-old Wendy also jumped on board the weight loss journey after she was forced to use a mobility scooter because of her weight.

Devon-based Wendy said: "I got to the stage where I couldn't walk or look after myself, and I needed help going to the toilet.

"I just thought 'I can't continue'. I'd been big all my life, yo-yo dieting, and I'd tried literally everything.

"In 2014 it became so bad I got a mobility scooter, and my husband told me that would be it if I got one, I'd always use it.

"I was 27 stone - I had to do something.

Wendy explained she was encouraged to eat as much as possible growing up which included a lot of starchy and fried foods, puddings and all big portions.

This philosophy followed her into adulthood and he would find herself eating an entire family pie for dinner some nights.

She explained: "I'd just eat anything I could get my hands on, washed down with four or five high fat milkshakes.

Wendy explained watching her daughter transform her life encouraged her to make a change.

Now, she has dropped from 27st to just 10st and a svelte size 14.

Wendy worked with a dietician to work out a revised eating plan and she also joined an assisted gym.

"The dietician really helped with what was better to eat - lots of protein, then fruit and veg, then carbs at the end of a meal if I had space left.

"I also used the assisted gym to help me lose weight, and joined the British Obesity Surgery Patients Association, which really helped keep me motivated.

"Liz made the first step, and I thought if she was doing it, I ought to."

Liz said it was great to go through this journey with her mother: "It's somebody to talk about meals with and exercise together.

"Because we've been losing weight at different times, we can swap clothes with each other.

"She's been a great emotional support, because there's someone else going through the same stuff."
