Claire Tickle, 39, from Hampshire has lost eight stone after joining a slimming club. However a condition in her legs that causes fat cells to expand means that she has been unable to slim them down.
Super-slimmer who shed a remarkable eight stone has hardly dropped a dress size - because her legs weigh TEN STONE.
