Jon Parry, 53, has undergone a dramatic transformation, shedding over 21 stone in 19 months. He previously weighed 45 stone and relied heavily on takeaways, spending approximately £180 monthly. Motivated by health concerns, Parry joined a Slimming World group in November 2023. He now weighs 23 stone 6lbs and has saved over £2,000 by cutting out his fast-food habit.
Parry describes himself as a 'serial dieter,' now consuming mainly fish and vegetables and exercising five times weekly. He opted against weight-loss injections, preferring his current sustainable approach. The significant savings have funded an upcoming Spanish getaway with his mother, Sylvia.
Having lost 21 stone in 72 weeks, Parry's journey continues. He now aims to lose an additional six stone and achieve fitness levels sufficient to climb Snowdonia. He reports having significantly more energy, easily walking 15,000 steps daily, a stark contrast to his previous struggles with mobility.
