A retired NHS worker who tipped the scales at 18-and-a-half stone has turned his life around after losing 75 lbs by ditching his fast food diet. Obese Alistair Murdoch was given a stern warning from his GP after being placed on three different medications for high blood pressure and told he was pre-diabetic in 2021.
The 65-year-old, from Paisley, previously managed to lose three stone during a bet with a pal who thought he had turned into ‘a slob’ over the years. But after rewarding himself with a delicious lunch and round of golf in St Andrews, the former physiotherapist began packing on the pounds again - becoming the heaviest he had ever been.
After being offered a free membership with WeightWatchers by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Alistair jumped at the chance to live a healthier lifestyle. Now weighing 12st 6lbs, the keen golfer is back on the green having purchased a whole new wardrobe.
