A man who weighed nearly 37st looks unrecognisable after losing 18st in a drastic change of lifestyle and diet - and he’s now a personal trainer who has helped more than 350 people.
Neil Scurrah, 41, said he has had issues with his weight from the age of eight but when his dad passed away from cancer, he fell into a pit of despair and turned to food for comfort. At the height of his 'six-month eating binge’, Neil weighed 36st 10lb, wore 6XL clothing and had a 60-inch waist.
But as his mental health hit 'rock bottom' and even getting out of bed became a struggle due to his size, Neil said he was jolted into action. He started walking regularly and cut down on his calories to around 2,500 a day to lose 18st in just under four years.
