The power of saying no: Amazing Loser Josh Deegan

Don’t Stop Movin’: Amazing Loser Dave Oh
When you’re overweight, being active can feel like the very last thing you want to do. Being sedentary is so much more appealing when you’re out of breath and red-faced even climbing the stairs.

Olympic Heavyweight: Amazing Loser Alex McCann
There’s nothing quite like a special event to make you realise, perhaps a little too late, that it’s time to shape up.

A Fat Intolerance: Amazing Loser Terry Hart

Nil-by-mouth: Amazing Loser Chris Dixon
This week’s Amazing Loser Chris realized that his excess weight was down to an insatiable appetite for food: he was literally addicted and it was making him miserable.

Just Keep Swimming: Amazing Loser Russell
Like so many of us, what he was eating and how much of what he was eating was the furthest thing from Russell’s mind, meaning that over the years his weight crept up and up. Once a keen swimmer, his weight meant that he hadn’t been to a pool for years and he hated shopping […]
