'Eating eight Big Macs a day left me scared to take bus until I lost 140lbs'

A man who used to eat eight Big Macs a day has lost 10 stone after joining Slimming World. Vic Choules has been named Slimming World’s Greatest Loser.

Vic said: "I used to play football seven times a week and was a goalkeeper. Even though I was quite big, I never thought, 'I’m too heavy for this' but there came a point when I knew I had to do something. My eating had become pretty out of control. I used to love eating chocolate, crisps, bread – bread was my downfall. If I had one piece of toast, I’d have seven pieces of toast. I’ll be totally honest, I sometimes used to eat eight Big Macs a day.

"When I had sleep apnea, I couldn’t drive, so I caught buses but other passengers would call me every name under the sun. As a result I’d get off the bus and wait for the next one.
