A BRITISH man and wife are celebrating after having been named "Couple of the Year" by Slimming World magazine - after the pair lost more than 69 kilograms by giving up their favourite fry-ups and curries in favour of healthy oats, stir fries and walking.
Mark and Amanda Gibbon from Chepstow in Monmouthshire reportedly lamented their expanding waistlines, especially when Mark had to ask for a seatbelt extension on a plane and Amanda ran to the toilet and cried when she looked at the mirror and was disgusted by what she saw.
The couple said they can also now run around after their grandkids "rather than collapsing in a chair after five minutes".

New Zealander Dr Hamish Wright wanted to satisfy his sweet-tooth during his nine and a half month stint in Antarctica at Amundsen-Scott Station.
The doctor didn't see the sun for six months and had a few "weird nuances of life", he reported to Manawatu Standard including having to de-frost the icy treat for six hours to make it edible after storage in -50C conditions.
