Nottingham bus driver loses 6st after stranger called him 'fat'

A dad of six has turned his life around after a complete stranger called him "fat" in the city centre. James Salmon, a bus driver from Clifton, has lost six stone since the incident in September last year.

The 34 year old said he had never been bothered by his weight before, when he was weighing 26 stones and 2 pounds. But one day, as he was smoking a cigarette in Milton Street, something made him want to change his way of living.

"I was just standing around, smoking a cigarette, and someone told me 'you are fat. You need to move that belly or you are going to die'", said Mr Salmon.
