45st Man Sheds 21st Without Weight-Loss Jabs, Says Quitting Takeaways Saved Over £2,000

Weekly Slimming World support coupled with a break from takeaways drove his self-reported turnaround.

Overview

  • Jon Parry, 53, reports dropping from 45st to 23st 6lb over about 19 months after joining a Slimming World group in Brigg.
  • He says he has bought just one takeaway since December 2024, freeing up cash he plans to use for a Spain trip with his 82-year-old mother on January 5.
  • The martial arts instructor describes a new routine of Slimming World meals, smaller portions, five gym sessions a week, and roughly 15,000 daily steps.
  • He has moved from size 8XL to 3XL and attributes past weight gain to grief after his father’s death and constant grazing.
  • Parry continues weekly meetings, aims to lose a further six stone, and hopes to be fit enough to climb Snowdonia.
