A father of two has achieved an incredible weight loss of over 100kg without medication, using only exercise and diet. Dale Forrest, 36, was once a habitual eater of takeouts and pastries, piling on the pounds until he hit 32 stone (448 lbs) at his heaviest.
The turning point came after marrying his wife Kat in September last year. Feeling embarrassed by his weight, especially in wedding photos, Dale made a change. Over the past 11 months, he has lost 16 stone and is now delighted with his new lifestyle.
Dale’s journey began with a diet of 1,500 calories and meticulous portion control. He added 10,000 steps to his daily routine to build up his stamina. After hitting 25 stone, he faced his fear of the gym but continued with cardio and weightlifting, achieving significant results without medication.
The father is now energetic and eager to play with his kids again, and has become an inspiration to others on his social media account @slimmeddowndale. Dale believes anyone can lose weight, no matter how heavy they are, and is determined to keep the weight off for good.
