A bloke who was too hefty to shop on the high street has unveiled his incredible transformation, shedding nearly 10 stone. His secret, don't cut out the things you love.
Jack Self from Bolton weighed a hefty 24st 10.5lbs when he decided enough was enough and embarked on a life-changing journey in March 2023. The 23 year old had been struggling to lose weight for years, finding himself restricted in movement and limited in the types of exercise he could do.
The university student took the plunge and joined his local Slimming World group after witnessing his partner's triumph with the programme. Despite initial reservations about being one of the few young men at the club, Jack saw the pounds melt away, boasting an impressive 9.5st weight loss so far, reports the Manchester Evening News.

"Looking back, I really did not notice how big I had actually got and how much weight I'd gained. I would say I've come a long way in my 14-month journey and I'm beginning to feel proud of what I've achieved so far."
Catherine Cleary, the group's consultant, praised his influence: "Jack's dedication has undoubtedly brought a new dynamic to the evening session, which now boasts three more men inspired by his progress."
