Guy Loses More Than Half His Body Weight Following Mum’s Suicide

A guy has lost more than half of his body weight determined to make his mum ‘proud’ following her suicide.

27-year-old Samuel Brereton from Melbourne, Australia, lost his mother in 2014 when she took her own life leaving him heartbroken.

Knowing his weight was a concern of hers throughout life, Sam started his journey towards change in 2015.
That year – at his heaviest – Sam weighed nearly 29 stone (406lbs/184kg). Now having lost an incredible 17 stone, Sam weighs 12 stone (168lbs/76kg), losing more than half of his previous body weight.

At his lightest Sam weighed 10 stone but has since got a personal trainer who has helped him build muscle and achieve a comfortable weight.

Speaking exclusively to UNILAD, Sam explained how his mother’s death motivated him to begin his weight loss mission.
