Kirsty, 31, decided that she needed to lose weight after her brother announced his engagement

A mother of five who dreaded the thought of attending her brother's wedding because of her size has lost 10 stone ahead of his big day.

Kirsty Armstrong, from Houghton-le-Spring, County Durham, dropped half her body weight slimming from 20 stone and a size 28 to 9st 6lbs and a size 10-12 in time for the big day.

The 31-year-old had struggled with her size for years but finally found the inspiration to shed the pounds when she found out her brother was tying the knot - swapping takeaways and junk food for fresh fruit and vegetables.

Kirsty said her inspiration behind her weight loss was the thought of being overweight in the wedding photos.

She said:'My brother was getting married in July and I wanted to lose weight for his wedding.

'I never had the confidence but I would try to eat healthy and it wouldn't ever really work.'
