Slimmer sheds 16 stones

A SUPER slimmer from Sheffield has shed more than half his body weight – going from a dangerously obese 30 stones to 14 stones in just two years.

Craig Potts was referred by his GP to Concord Sports Centre and reluctantly attended, as his weight was preventing him from having a gastric bypass and meant he needed blood pressure medication.

The 47-year-old, who is fitter than ever, said: “I’ve started running and one of my goals is to run a 5km race.

“I’m far more outgoing and sociable too.”
