The man and his wife had planned to shed the pounds together but when he had more success than his spouse she decided to take some very drastic action
For those who go about it in a healthy way, losing weight can be a huge positive. In some cases, life-changing. So much so, there’s no shortage of success stories out there, shared by people proud of what they’ve achieved and the impact it’s had on their life.
But sadly this isn’t always the case. After agreeing to go on a much-needed joint weight loss regime with his wife, one man has since seen his marriage break down over his transformation. The decision to lose weight came after the couple took stock of their lives and realised they were in a rut.
“We were both approaching 300lbs (136 kilos). As a couple we could barely walk the few steps from our car to our office,” the husband explained on Reddit.

Soon he began to see the results. “I just walked, downloaded a calorie counting app and made sure I never exceeded my daily calorie limit,” he explained. “Well slowly but surely, my weight started to come off.
