Obese mum-of-three who was so ashamed of gaining weight that she cut the size 22 labels off her clothes is left unrecognisable after losing SEVEN STONE

Katy Gill, 34, from Liverpool, snacked on cakes and biscuits to help her get through night shifts as a 999 operator. 

But she decided to overhaul her diet after her daughter Molly, 10, complained that - at 17st 7lb (left, with daughter Olivia in 2011) - her mum was too big to hug . 

Now at 10st 7lb Katy has had a glamorous makeover and enjoys trying out different looks and showcasing her transformation on Facebook to inspire other slimmers.
