Scots plumber who used to eat four takeaways a week sheds 12 stone

A Scots plumber who used to eat four takeaways a week and snack on junk food has transformed his life after losing a whopping 12 stone. Stephen Donnelly, from Bishopbriggs, was at his lowest when he was 25st and 6lb but has now nearly halved his body weight.

The 60-year-old was struggling with simple tasks like putting on socks and suffered from constant knee pain but could not have the operation he needed due to his weight and blood sugar levels.

He decided to take action in December 2021 after feeling depressed and contacted his GP for help. He has now dropped down to 13st 6lb - shredding an impressive 12 stone in one year - after being referred to Weight Watchers (WW) through NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
