Dad loses 17.5st by quitting Coke and starting running
- 9 months ago
A dad told by doctors he would die within five years if he didn't lose weight had shed a whopping 17.5 stone - by talking daily walks and cutting out Coca-Cola.
Determined Bryn Penrose, 48, was told by doctors that he risked a fatal heart attack or stroke when he tipped the scales at 30st 5lb
But the father-of-three has shed more than half his body weight by increasing his daily steps gradually from around 50 to 21,000 per day.
And while he would guzzle six regular cans of Coke a day, he now only drinks water and protein shakes.
