The plane was on the runway; the holidaymakers in good spirits.
And when the stewardess came down the aisle towards Jan Coupe and her husband, she thought the flight attendant was going to check their seatbelts.For the stewardess had to tell the couple - who weighed 38st between them - that they were too heavy for the plane to take off.
As his wife cringed with embarrassment, 20st Alan Coupe moved to the front of the aircraft to help even out the weight. Mrs Coupe, 49, said: 'It was a decent-sized plane full of holidaymakers - it wasn't a small plane - so it was devastating to be told that even a big plane like that couldn't cope with all our weight being at the back.

Now Mrs Coupe has lost 6st 5lb and her 54-year-old husband 5st 13lb.
Mrs Coupe, who has also dropped six dress sizes to a 14, said: 'I don't feel embarrassed about getting on a plane anymore - we all feel so great we could fly around the world now without a hitch.'
