Louth man, 60, tells how he lost breathtaking five stone in just one year
A man has gone from being breathless after walking 30 yards to being able to walk and cycle as much as he wishes – and all in the last year.
“It means one of the chambers of the heart is out of synch with the rest so when I got up to walk somewhere my heart thought I was actually running.” They asked him what he thought. “I said I am probably 18-19 stone, they said you are 20 stone and 1lb. They said we have done what we can for you if you want to do something for yourself, lose the weight.”
He had blamed an operation for chipped cartilage in his knee for discomfort with his knee but now realises it was the extra weight he had been carrying. Years ago I was into cycling and now I am back on the bike as well. I can run around with my grand daughter too.”
