Mortified Jade Torry shed seven stone after first getting stuck on a water slide and then being measured to see if she would fit on a rollercoaster while on holiday in America.
The 22-year-old was left in tears when staff at Disney World in Florida pulled her out of a queue thinking she was too fat to go on the ride.
The mum-of-one, who used to eat three dinners every evening is now barely recognisable having dropped from 16 stone and a size 20, down to just 9 stone.

Now she can ride “It’s a Small World?”
But yes, the poster who said she wasn't fat was a little confused.
16 stone is 224. 9 stone is 126. She lost around 100 lbs. Good for her.
I completely agree with good on her.
No woman needs to put on anywhere near that mount of fat when pregnant.
She lost the same amount of weight as I weigh. I’m 6’2”.
Usually but not always...depends on her age, how long she was fat, and how fast she took it off. The biggest problem that people have with loose skin is they take off the weight too fast.
There are multiple ways to minimize and avoid loose skin but in some cases with super obese it's near impossible to avoid.
I have seen men and women lose that kind of weight and not have severe loose skin issues.
Sorry about the mistake...above posts say 100lbs...about half of me.
I misread it. Somehow I got 14 stone stuck in my head, which is 196 pounds. Probably paused to remember how much a stone weighted, and just went with 14 all around.
Mea culpa.
Wow! She lost a ton of weight?? She must have been huge. A two thousand pound woman. Whoda thunk?
I notice there was a lot of butthurt in the comments section over that remark...
My fault. I doubled her weight loss. Big difference between losing 200 pounds and 100 pounds.
It is though.
She may be big, but you can see THOUSANDS of bigger fatter people at WDW any time.
That's true. The article does not say if she was one of the people who rent scooters because they don't want to have to waddle all the way over to the snack counters.
What’s a stone in real fat?
If you do it at the right speed your skin has a chance to shrink back, no surgery necessary. In fact if you’re getting hanging skin you’re almost certainly burning weight too fast and digesting muscle, bone and organs.
Simple expalanation: Lower photo, three days after the wedding. Top photo: three years later....
when you’re only 20 years old, your skin shrinks up more. It wouldn’t surprise me if she didn’t need anything done to her skin.
How true.
Now THAT'S some motivation!
It looks like they both went to the body shop, so let’s hope that the support they gave each other created a tighter marital bond.
At least she didn’t so to have Disney make the seats etc bigger ETC
A good exercise and muscle building program takes care of that.
