A man whose marriage was destroyed because he was "too fat for sex" has lost so much weight and now looks like a different person.

Stephen Ringo weighed 29st at his heaviest after gorging on two Big Macs, two large fries, and two large cokes as well as 20 chicken nuggets every day for lunch, followed by a Domino's pizza for dinner.

But after the collapse of his marriage, it forced the 38-year-old to re-evaluate his health and he knew he had to make a change. He eventually put in the work and shed an incredible 16st.

Before he lost weight, Stephen, of Johnson City, Tennessee, was so large he struggled to put on his socks, and the extra pounds drove his sex drive "into the ground". The 5ft 7in IT expert said his body issues deeply affected his confidence and wore away at his marriage until he got divorced in 2016.

Stephen then began to curb his fast food addiction and returned to his power-lifting roots in October 2016, shedding an incredible 16 stone in just two years.

He said:

It’s fair to say that my weight ruined my marriage.

It was the single biggest factor.

My relationship with my wife deteriorated as my weight crept up.

I was depressed and as that set in intimacy kind of left. My weight drove my sex life into the ground.

I believe my depression and lack of sex drive ultimately drove my wife away from me.

If I had been a better husband I might have been able to pull the marriage back together.

My weight held me back from doing so many things. Getting dressed in the morning was tough.

I could hardly put on my socks.

My ex-wife and I went on vacation to New York City in 2012 and my weight really took a toll on me.

When you’re in New York, there is a lot of walking involved.

After a walk in Central Park I had to sit on a bench to catch my breath for a half an hour. I felt like a failure.

I never prepared meals and I usually ate fast food.

I would usually go to McDonald’s for lunch and order a Big Mac family meal, which was two Big Macs, two large fries, and two large cokes as well as 20 chicken nuggets.

I would drive through the drive through so they might think I was ordering the meal for a family.

After I finished I always felt so bad about myself. I hated myself.

For dinner I would order Pizza Hut or Domino's.

I was almost as round as I was wide. My pants were 60ins and I was 67ins tall.

Stephen said his return to the gym in October 2016 was extremely discouraging as he realised how far he had let his fitness slip. But the former powerlifter hit the gym every day and began practising intermittent fasting which sees him eat only between 5pm and 9pm each evening.

Stephen said:

My first time in the gym I was disgusted with myself. I could literally bench 175lbs which is as much as I could when I was a young teenager.

I don’t know how I had let myself get that far.

Gradually I’ve built myself back up 340lbs.

Now I practice intermittent fasting which means I only eat between 5pm and 9pm.

When I get home I break my fast with an apple and for dinner I have ground turkey and a pound of green beans.

I have two cups of air popped popcorn and one low-fat ice cream.

Stephen said his weight loss has changed his life and confidence and thinks he would be a stronger partner now that he has turned around his life.

So what exactly is your pain?.
So na we de live longer than the Westerners with out healthy diet?

Commitment pays!

Even for his health sake, he looks better now!

I like this and really proud of this guy. It’s good to be in shape, healthy and fit.

What the hell he gon do with that excess flesh?
He could cut it off and ship it over here for my guys in ngwaland.
what a change of diet it's gon be for them.

He was really too fat for it.

He would have crushed and suffocated any lady.

Why he no lose weight then?

Lazy Ass

Being fat is no good.
It makes one look less attractive and old.
If you are fat, discipline and determination will cure u.
Hit the gym and eat healthy. Burn fat by jogging and doing more walks, then you will be cured.
Nothing like I love myself the way I am, who tell u say being fat is the way you are. Stop those stupid consolation and excuses and burn those fats.
