A portly grandad now has “the body of a 25-year-old” after a heart attack pushed him to get fit. Tucking into takeaways and drinking a litre of brandy each week, Richard Gouldon admits he couldn't even wear his wedding ring due to his "fat fingers".
But drastic change came in June 2021 when, weighing 15st, Richard suffered a heart attack. Cutting out booze and and overhauling his diet, he started a fitness programme in Leeds with “life-changing results”.
The 54-year-old, who lives with his wife, Claire Gouldon, 48, and two of his five children, Phoebe, 13, Grace, eight, said: “I looked like an old man and now I look like a 25-year-old. All I wanted was to be healthy and to not die, but what they’ve given me is this amazing new body that has transformed my entire life."
