A Hucknall man has lost more than half of his body weight after years of 'hard work'. Mark Stephens began his weight loss journey in 2020 at the start of the pandemic, and dropped from over 32 stone to just under 15 stone.
The 43 year old lost 11kg through a variety of exercises and healthy eating, and has managed to keep the weight off for more than two years. Mark, a former hospitality worker, moved to Nottinghamshire in 2019 and, after living with family for a while, was looking for something more independent.
He said: "I had found an Air BNB that I could do temporarily. When I was there the coronavirus then happened and I needed something that I could control, and there was very little that I could control other than my weight and what I did with myself.
