170kg Teen Loses 88 Kilos and Overcomes Anxiety

Tom Johnston, 19, from  Northern Ireland, saw his weight balloon thanks to an unhealthy diet of crisps, chips and fried meat - and a football injury that left him confined to a wheelchair for three months.

His anxiety over his weight became so great that he dropped out of school, unable to bear what people thought about his size.

But Tom decided to join Slimming World after becoming fed up of what he saw when he looked in the mirror.

He now weighs 82kg and says he feels he can begin is life again.  

We think he looks GREAT!

'My weight robbed me of having the same experiences as other people my age. Now I'm like any other 19-year-old - and that feels great,' he said.  

'I suffered from anxiety and low mood and my weight was a big contributor to that.'

Tom joined the gym and drastically changed his diet, helping him to shed 88kg over the past year. He has now gone back to college and hopes to go to university.

Good on you, Tom!
