An Obese man, Nathan Ranklin, a 30-year-old has stunned people after managing to drastically redce his weight.

The man is now unrecognisable after dropping nearly 19 stone, after getting fed up with always being the ‘fat friend’.

Super slimmer, Nathan Ranklin, 30, from Peckham in London, was told by doctors aged 14 that if he carried on the way he was going then he wouldn’t make his 30th birthday.

Nathan realised he needed to do something about his weight after he tipped the scales at 36st 9lbs.

Nathan had previously taken out credit cards before going on holidays due to being scared he would have to pay for an extra seat.

But now after losing 18st 13lbs, thanks to The 1:1 Diet by Cambridge Weight Plan, Nathan looks unrecognisable at 17st 10lb.

Nathan said: ‘I couldn’t do all of the things my friends were doing. I couldn’t go to theme parks because I wouldn’t fit in the seats, I couldn’t do go-karting or quad biking because I was too big for the cars and bikes.
