A man in his 60s has shown that it's never too late to change your lifestyle after deciding to take action after his weight ballooned to 23 stone. Terry Burt would regularly spend his evenings watching telly while snacking on crisps, chocolate and sweets, but opted to embark on a weight loss journey with his wife Angela.
The pair, from Greater Manchester, signed up a weight loss support group and took on a calorie-counting regime and the weight began to drop off – with Terry quickly losing almost five stone.
“I could still have snacks, but instead of a pack of Walkers, I’d have some that were 70kcals instead,” Terry told the MEN. “With chocolate, I would have an Alpro bar instead of a Mars bar. My head is still having these treats, but not the calorie count I would have had if it was normal.”
