Stephen drops four stone to become a ‘big loser’
Since joining the WNP’s Biggest Loser programme in late September, Stephen has lost 61 pounds in weight - that is almost four-and-a-half stones.
“I got up to about 20 stone, but I lost a couple of pounds before signing up. I was 19 stone 10 lbs when I started and that was on September 23 at the weigh in. I had had this thing about my weight for quite a long time, and turning 40 was a big incentive. It was the realisation that I had got too big. I had no medical difficulties, but I was worried with the weight about certain conditions like Type 2 Diabetes and heart attacks.

I now have a training regime and I train most days and that is the thing I have taken from this. I go walking most nights and I go for a swim and my eating habits have totally changed. I have cut down on bread and eat smaller portions. Before I would not have had breakfast, now I do and I eat more small meals rather than large fatty heavy meals,” he said, adding: “I take my time and enjoy my food rather than rushing it”.
