SUE Radford has been left “really chuffed” after managing to lose a whopping two stone in weight.
The mum-of-22 revealed her success in a post on her social media pages, as she posed in a figure-hugging minidress while on the family’s holiday in Florida.

Alongside the snap, Sue – who owns a pie shop with husband Noel – admitted she’d “put on so much” through “eating rubbish food“.
And now she’s gone from feeling “awful” to being “much more healthy and confident”.
“I never thought I’d ever wear anything like this again but I feel so much more healthier and confident for losing nearly 2 stone,” Sue wrote in the Facebook post.
“I had put on so much just eating rubbish food and felt awful.

“I’m now back in the 8 stone bracket, which is where I wanted to be, so I’m really chuffed.”
The family matriarch was clearly delighted with her newly-slim frame as she smiled widely while modelling the Mickey and Minnie Mouse strappy dress, which also highlighted her holiday tan.
And the majority of the people commenting on the post praised Sue for achieving the impressive weight loss.
“Well done! Not sure how you manage it, as I always find myself snacking around Epcot!” one person wrote.
“Wow you look fantastic Sue,” another added.
“You really are an inspiration and a wonderful mum…
“Hats off to you – I know how hard it is to lose weight and I’ve only had 3 babies!”
“Unfortunately nature is very cruel to the female species, but you look amazing and us ladies of a certain age know that isn’t easy,” a third commented.
“Why do females get dealt the raw deal? Maybe because we can handle it better than males!”
“You look amazing and look like you haven’t even had any kiddies – let alone your gang!” someone else laughed.
However, as with any of the Radfords’ social media posts, trolls also had their say in the comments section, with many taking aim at Sue’s revelation of her new weight.
“Sue, think you’re more than 8 stone,” one wrote.
Q&A with Sue and Noel Radford
With 22 kids, Sue and Noel have learnt a lot over the years.
Who is the stricter parent? Sue
Who is the naughtiest child? Archie
Do you prefer being parents or grandparents? Grandparents, you can spoil them more, and give them back at the end of the day!
What’s one thing you can’t teach your kids? Driving lessons, don’t even attempt to do them with your kids, it’s not worth it.
What’s something you’ve never told your children? We’ve never sat down with any of the kids and told them ‘this is how babies are made’. We’ve never had that conversation.
What’s your best parenting hack? Turn chores into games – making them fun to get them involved and help out.
How do you manage arguments and disagreements? There’s always someone falling out with someone else. When they get older, they have their own own opinions, and arguments get heated and last longer. We try to listen to them both, be the reasonable one, and get them to see it from both sides.
To which Sue hit back: “Yeah – 8 stone 12 which is in the 8 stone bracket!”
“Sorry but there’s no way you weigh 8 stone!” another accused the 50-year-old.
“You look good but definitely not 8 stone.”
“Totally agree – DEFINITELY NOT in the 8-9 stone bracket!” a third added.
Sue didn’t reveal in the Facebook post exactly how she’d lost the weight, but someone else snidely said: “Bet she’s on Mounjaro“.
“So what if she is!!” another hit back, referring to the GLP-1 drug that’s worked wonders for millions of people trying to shed the pounds.
“It’s helped her lose weight and she looks fab.
“Don’t automatically assume she is she could have changed her diet regime and eaten more healthy as well.”
