A man who weighed almost 30 stone and was so fat he got stuck going through football turnstiles has lost a staggering 17 stone - by walking. <br /><br />Steven Duffield, 45, tipped the scales at 28.1st (178.7kg), and could only wear 5XL American football shirts and massive jogging bottoms. <br /><br />Single Steven piled on the pounds after a decade gorging on takeaways, snacks and downing between 12 and 14 pints of beer a night. <br /><br />He decided to take drastic action in 2022 after he took his nephews to a Boxing Day football match but got wedged in the turnstiles. <br /><br />Steven had also previously been told he was too heavy for the scales at his GP practice and his BMI (Body Mass Index) was a whopping 59.2. <br /><br />He started walking every day, beginning with a short stroll to the end of the road but steadily built up to cover more than 25 miles a day. <br /><br />Steven also swapped fatty foods for healthy dishes like chicken and rice with vegetables and tried intermittent fasting. <br /><br />He also gave up alcohol and explored different eating options including the keto diet which is popular with celebrities. <br /><br />In just one year Steven lost a 13st (83kg) and has shed a further 4st (25.4kg) to now weigh a trim 11st. <br /><br />To donate to the fundraiser visit www.justgiving.com/page/saharayomp4acorns
