Nigel and Lee raise £7000 by losing 280lb...
     

TWO Gwent businessmen have shed more than 20 stone between them while raising £7,000 for charity at the same time.

Friends Lee Price, from Oakdale, and Nigel Castle, from Machen, both weighed more than 20 stone and were living on a diet of takeaways, pasties and crisps when they came up with a novel way of beating the bulge.

Although both had tried Slimming World and a range of diets in the past, they decided to try the weight loss group again but this time round vowed to give up alcohol for a year.

Just Giving

Tŷ Hafan helps life-limited children, young people and their families make the most of the time they have left together. Not only is Tŷ Hafan a home from home providing specialist palliative care, but it also offers a much needed source of strength, respite and support for the whole family. From diagnosis to bereavement and beyond it takes its support right into the heart of the family home. For Tŷ Hafan to offer this unique service completely free of charge to families in Wales, it has to raise over £2.5 million every year.

           
      The goals are clear
Our vision is clear with conditions as follows:
The timescale is about a year - Monday 4th January 2010 – Monday 20th December 2010
  • To lose a minimum of 4 stone during this period
  • Not to drink any alcohol during this period
  • It is compulsory for each of us to join Fat Club (whether this be Slimming World or Weight Watchers) so that our progress is well documented
  • Our weight losses (or gains!) will be updated each week on this webpage.
