UK's fattest man who was housebound sheds 36 stone in one year

One of the fattest men in Britain has lost an incredible 36 stone in just over a year.

Former PC Stuart Prosser, 54, once weighed just over 54st and was housebound. His biggest vices were bread, cheese and chocolate – and he could down 30 cans of cider in a day.

When he needed hospital ops, it took 12 medics to put him in an ambulance.

Shamed by the ordeals, he shed the flab by counting calories and taking exercise with NHS aid and is now 17 and a half stone.

“I have my life back, my wife has her husband back and my three children have their dad back,” said Mr Prosser, of Tonteg, South Wales.

“I cannot thank my family and the NHS staff enough for the support and patience they offered me during my horrendous journey."
