Fat Club

At the start of the year Nicola and I joined Scottish Slimmers. So far we’re both doing well, but I won’t go into detail until we’re a bit further along.

I just thought I would use it to link into the tale of Manuel Uribe. Manuel has experienced weight loss Nicola and I could never comprehend. He’s shed an amazing 28 stone. A shame then that he still weighs 60.

To celebrate his weight loss he has now ventured outside for the first time in 5 years.

Six people pushed Manuel Uribe’s wheel-equipped iron bed into the street, as a mariachi band played and a crowd gathered to see the man who once weighed more than 88 stone (1,200lb).

I hope he reaches his target weight of 18 stone.
