A retired Nottinghamshire baker said he probably would not be able to walk if he had not lost five stone in two years. Colin White, 74, decided he had to shed the weight in 2017 after developing type 2 diabetes and COPD.
After being encouraged by wife Rita, who joined her husband to sign up to Slimming World, 5ft 8ins Mr White went on to drop from 19-and-a-half stone to 14-and-a-half stone.
"I wouldn't say it was even a diet, it just changed the way I ate. I eat a lot healthier now," he told Nottinghamshire Live. "If I was still that weight now I don't think I would be able to walk because of my knee. I think it would be impossible to walk about with that weight on top of it."
