Watch as this woman decided to ‘take off’ half her body weight after needing a seatbelt extender while catching a flight with her friends. 

Ellis McGregor loved to gorge on takeaways and fast food but decided enough was enough after she couldn’t get the belt around her waist on a girls’ trip to Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Ellis, who weighed 23 stone (336 lbs) at her heaviest, had trouble walking without becoming breathless and her junk food habits saw her spending £1,200 a month. 

After feeling ashamed of herself, Ellis knew it was time to change her ways and after a rigorous diet and exercise change she dropped an incredible 11 stone (154 lbs). 

Ellis exercised 12 hours a week and even cut out the takeaways, saving herself a whopping £1,000 on her food shop.
