slimmer has been honoured after losing more than six stone in just over 20 weeks during lockdown. Michael Gray, from Portlethen, Aberdeenshire, could not have imagined how much more difficult his weight loss journey would get when he started it in January this year.But now he has been rewarded for his focus by his local Slimming World group, as they named him their Man of the Year 2020 following the first ever virtual competition in the organisation's 50-year history.
Michael, 32, began 2020 weighing 21st 15lb with a 46-inch waist and has now dropped to 15st 8lb and a 36-inch waist, thanks to a new eating plan and exercise regime, alongside the advice and encouragement of his fellow members.
