Obese mother who battled with her weight since she was eight loses TWELVE STONE after hiring a personal trainer - and she ends up marrying him

Sara Magnusson Backström, 37, from Gothenburg, Sweden, tipped the scales at 23 stone (left), piling on the pounds after turning to fast-food at the age of 19 when she gave birth to her son. 


However, Sara said she knew she had to lose weight after being left red faced when a camping chair snapped underneath her at a garden store. Determined to shed the pounds, she immediately hired personal trainer Fredrik Magnusson, who she tied the knot with the following year (inset). She lost a total of 12st 6lbs and is now just over 10 stone (right).
