Darryl
Darryl is 36 from Derbyshire and weighs 33 stone. He has been married for 11 years to his wife Tracey and they have two boys, Samuel and Thomas. Although his wife and kids are slim and athletic, they don't mind his size, as they love him for who he is. However, Darryl is finding it harder to do things which are affecting his health. He wants to lose weight so he can do more activities with his children.
A self-confessed comfort eater, some days Darryl will eat a fry up, roast dinner, baguette, crisps, another dinner and a kebab. Darryl thinks nothing of munching his way through a multi-pack of crisps in a day and, in his own words, 'If I want something I'll have it'.
He admits he's a happy-go-lucky person who performs at weekends as a singing comedy act. He calls himself 'Blobbie Williams' and changes the lyrics of the song from
Let Me Entertain You to
Let Me See the Menu. He is a support worker for adults with autism and learning difficulties.

Yasmin
Yasmin, 27, is an at-home mum from London. Yasmin is struggling to break into the modelling and TV industry because she's too thin. She weighs 7.5 stone and is on a wheat free, dairy free, gluten free, lactose and preservative free diet. This is partly due to her son's intolerances, but also her own. She decided to cut out junk food two years ago because it was making her feel 'bloated'.
Yasmin wants to gain weight so she can have more energy and be happier with her appearance. She comments; 'A lady should look like a lady, have curves not bones sticking out. Seeing my ribs is not attractive, it looks horrible.'
