A year ago, cruel motorists would throw food at 24 stone Mark Smithers as he waited for his bus. Fast forward to Super Slim Pomegranate now and Mark is a healthier, happier and

much more confident person.

He's now 11 stone lighter, and it is all thanks to the dying wish of family friend, Maggie.

Cancer sufferer Maggie, who had been like an aunt to Mark, asked the 30-year-old to shed weight. Soon after, she passed away.

With a good need to lose the pounds plus some new found motivation, Mark decided the time had come to get rid of his excessive weight problem. So,

maintaining your promise he earned, he hit the gym and began dieting.

"I'd tried to lose weight before, but I'd been a big lad, and I just struggled with food. I'd hate to see food go to waste, so I'd empty the fridge rather

than letting stuff go off."

Mark has since shed greater than eleven stone within the space of 13 months - an incredible weight loss achievement.

"Now that I've lost the load, it's completely transformed my entire life and that i feel like I'm able to finally start living," he said.

And it's not only health-worries that Mark is glad to see the back of. The shop assistant used to be bullied for his weight by cruel motorists who'd throw

food at him because he waited for the bus.

During this period of his life, Mark would eat over 4,000 calories every single day, most of which came from fizzy drinks and the loaf-and-a-half of bread he

would cope with daily.

"I'd be snacking constantly, and forever eating sandwiches. I loved sandwiches and sausage rolls," Mark recalled.

"I'd spend all my time playing fantasy computer games and refusing to go outside - the local kids would torture me.

"I was miserable. Consider losing all of the weight, people hardly recognise me. A person came into work and inquired about when the fat lad still worked

there. Her face went beetroot red when I informed her body fat lad was me."

Mark began his epic weight reduction journey in August this past year, and thru a regime of dieting and exercise, he were able to reach his target weight

recently.

He said: "I was living my entire life out through video games - however I'm so much happier I go out constantly and life is great."

Mark lives together with his mum Lesley and older brother Wesley, who're both incredibly happy with his weight reduction.

Lesley Smithers, 59, said: "Mark has certainly made Maggie proud. He's made us all proud. It's like I've a completely new son - before he'd hide himself away

in his room for several days, snacking and playing computer games because his confidence was shattered."

"Now he's a brand new man, much more outgoing and happy. His happiness is infectious, and it's had such a positive impact on his life it's driven me to get

rid of some weight too," she added.

Lesley met closest friend Maggie when they Slim Xtreme were both 11, more than 40 years ago, and she was a regular visitor towards the boys throughout their lives.

Mark added: "She was like an auntie to me and Wes. I made her a promise and stuck to it."
