At the age of seventeen, and just married, I was content in life. I weighed twelve and a half stone but soon piled on the pounds over a twelve month period, going up to a whopping 19st 6lbs

My health was deteriorating, suffering lack of breath, achingfeet, a bad back and finally the lack of self esteem and enthusiasm to even get out of bed in the morning. Even after all that, I was still not going to lose weight and why should I when my wife still loved me? She called me cuddly and told me she loved me, no matter what I looked like.

Then one day, I took my daughter to school and her friend said to her, "Isn't your Dad fat?". That was it, I was determined then and got down to 18st 3lb. I then joined Super Slim and I am now thirteen stone and feel as healthy as I did at seventeen years old. I can kick the ball with my four children and feel motivated and it's all down to my wife who has helped with the ups and downs, and of course, Super Slim for the easy to follow diets. Last, but not least, thanks to my Group Leader, Penny, for her encouragement.

Starting Weight = 18st 3lbs
Total Weight Loss = 5st 3lbs
