James went from 175 pounds to 280 pounds. At least that’s what the article on Yahoo says. I had to convert stones to pounds, but the before\/after pictures don’t seem to match that drastic of a change.<\/p>\n

To gain that weight James ate kebabs, french fries, bacon<\/a>, and chocolate milk, presumably not all at the same time. He also gave up exercise.<\/p>\n

While James had regular check-ups, he still risked liver disease and heart problems. Plus, he ended up addicted to junk food<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He’s currently back to his regular routine, trying to get fit by Christmas.<\/p>\n
