A dad's weight became so high that he once broke his bed, but now he is unrecognisable after turning his life around and losing over 14 stone.
Barrie Stewart claimed he is surprised to still be alive despite spending 30 years consuming approximately 5,000 calories a day with a diet of junk food and takeaways accompanied by six to eight cans of beer or cider. He decided to start his weight loss journey after a life-changing trip to the doctors which resulted in losing an impressive 14st 7lbs.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, Barrie said: "I'm shocked now that I've changed my life that I got myself in that position. I'm surprised I'm still here or my bones never crumbled. The start of the journey was the doctor telling me all my stats were in the red. I said to him 'don't sugarcoat it just tell me.'
