A 27 stone dad has lost nearly 15st after his dying relative's dying wish was for him to lose weight.
Dave Winchester, 36, broke beds, sofas and chairs and would get abused by strangers in the street over his size. But after hearing that his father-in-law’s dying wish was for him to lose weight, he bit the bullet and joined Slimming World and has never looked back.
Thanks to a healthy diet, which still leaves him feeling full, he saw his 27st 1lb frame shrink. He now tops the scales at 12st 6.5lbs, and his waistline has gone from 48" to 32". He's been crowned Slimming World’s Man of the Year.
