Alan Oates from Tamworth has lost 19 Stones in just 18 months

Alan Oates weighed 33 stones, 7lbs when he started Slimming World back in January 2012. His weight was 68-inches and he required oxygen 15 hours a day.
Alan, aged 55, began gaining weight after he left the army in 1988 and began driving lorries across the country.
An image of him balancing a laptop on his stomach made him realise that he needed to lose weight.
Alan now weights 14 stone 4lbs after losing the weight at a group in Tamworth.
