Stuart Howells

In a former life I weighed 25st and was a shining example of a walking heart attack.

I lost the best part of 13st with Slimming World and became their UK Man of the Year 2010.

At my heaviest, I was unable to walk upstairs without being breathless, since losing weight, I run, walk, cycle, swim, play football and lead an extremely active, healthy lifestyle, I run the London Marathon in 2011 and The Born to Run Ultra Marathon in Llanelli (37 miles) in 2012.

I'm married to Lisa, we have 4 children and I work as a Support Worker / Youth Worker with children and young adults who are differently abled.

I love to cook and experiment in the kitchen with healthy variations of my favourite foods.
