Gran who once weighed 35 stone and has shed 20 stone.

A gran who weighed twice as much as a baby elephant shed more than 20 stone after she overheard a nurse saying: "If I ever get that fat, SHOOT me". Sue Callear (corr) weighed 35 stone at her heaviest and was classed as super-morbidly obese - meaning she could have died at any time. The 50-year-old tipped the scales at over 35 stone and her body mass index was a staggering 79 instead of between 18.5 and 25 for a healthy adult. She even had to make her own clothes using two-and-half METRES of material because she couldn't fit into size 38 tops. Sue also broke several beds and had to use special heavy-duty handrails to drag herself upstairs at her home in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs.
