A Glasgow man has lost over three stone with the help of his daughter's pre-made healthy takeaways.
James Murray started dieting with slimming world in December of last year and has already lost a whopping three stone.
His daughter Susan runs the Knightswood Community Cafe along with two other women, who all had the bright idea to introduce healthy pre-made takeaways for customers to enjoy guilt free - 74 year-old James from Knightswood says it really helps him "stay on track".

Speaking with Glasgow Live, 48 year-old Susan said: "After speaking to lots of people in the centre about what they wanted some of the care staff told us that they would like to buy home cooked meals for their clients and some of the older customers told us that they would like to buy a home cooked meals to take home with them at night .
"After some thought we came up with the 'Healthy Takeaway' and since my dad was doing slimming world we decided to make the meals compatible with his plan."
Every week the cafe freshens up the menu and offers customers pre-made meals ready to order - going at £5 for one meal and £20 for five, all made with fresh ingredients and they can be reheated from frozen.
Susan and the team are now making around 50 to 70 meals per week and have expanded their kitchen with extra fridges to increase capacity.
The healthy service is available for pick-up and now delivery on Tuesday afternoons for a £4 fee.
James has really enjoyed the journey and doesn't feel the plan restricts him in anyway: "The Healthy Takeaway really helps keep me on track . I get weighed every week at a local slimming world class in Knightswood and apart from the week I took a holiday to Spain, I have lost weight every week .
"I love the different options that they have available every week, I particularly love the Chicken Tikka Masala, it feels like a real treat and it’s actually just a part of the diet .
"They have helped me lose weight and feel so much healthier and I love the meals - I look forward to finding out what’s available every week. I also buy soup for my lunch as it’s all so easy and I think it’s great value for money .
"It’s just so handy for me I absolutely love it."
Susan from Bairdardie say the team cater to all types of people throughout the week and are kept super busy with the classes taking place at the community centre.
As well as the 'Healthy Takeaway' plan they also serve classic cafe favourites like, homemade sweet treats, soups, toasties, teas, coffees and much more.
