A ZOO KEEPER has become a shadow of his former self after shedding the weight of a baby rhino.

Dad-of-one Matt Hughes tipped the scales at a whopping 25st after gorging on daily takeaways.

But after getting fed up by cruel jibes being made about his weight and wanting to try for a family with wife Claire the 31-year-old decided it was time to turn his life around.

In less than a year, the 5ft 10 man has lost an impressive 12.5st and gone from a 5XL to a medium.

He said: "We have a baby rhino at work and when I look at it, I can't believe I used to be carrying that excess weight.

"I can't pick it up but somehow I was carrying that around on my back every day.

"It's amazing to see how far I've come and makes me think I never want to be back there again."

Take a look at these exceptional body transformations.

Matt continued: "I'm so much more active and I can work so much harder.

"All the back pain I had before has completely disappeared.

"I do feel like a snake or insect emerging from one part of my life to the next and I'm now ready to do anything I want."

Matt, who works at Colchester Zoo, had tried dieting before and managed to shed some pounds but he never managed to keep it off for long.

He said: "I have always been on the heavier side.

"When I was young me and my brother used to play up to my parents and they gave in and gave us treats.

"They were shift workers so we relied on convenience meals and as I've grown up I've always turned to takeaways because it was easier.

"Also as I got older I could drink alcohol. I did used to play football but I was always in goal.

"I tried diets and while I would lose weight I wasn't changing my behaviour habits so I piled it all back on."

In the end the Essex lad joined Slimming World before shedding half his body weight in just 38 weeks.

His waist has also shrunk from 46 inches to 32 inches and his shoe size has gone from a size 12 to a 10.

I can't believe I used to be carrying that excess weight.

Matt said: "I walked 25,000 steps which before I wouldn't have had a chance of doing.

"It'd massively helped with my job too.

"I feel confident and can go into a shop knowing I can fit in the clothes.

"I used to swim but I used to hear young boys and girls laughing and making comments which really knocks your confidence."

His weight loss means Matt has more energy to get out and play with two-year-old son, Blake, who won't have to hear people's cruel comments.

Matt added: "Now I know he won't hear those cruel things and I want to make sure he doesn't say them too when he is older.

"Having lived the life of an overweight person and lost half my body weight and now weighing under 12st, I now want to help others in a similar situation.

"By becoming a Slimming World consultant I think I can help them feel as fantastic as I do."
