A roller coaster fanatic found himself motivated to lose weight after embarking upon a tour of local theme parks.

The UKs theme park scene is home to some of Europes most thrill-packed options. While Alton Towers boasts the likes of The Smiler, Wicker Man, and Thirteen, Thorpe Park is home to the countrys fastest coaster, Stealth, and the worlds first 10-loop rollercoaster with Colossus.

During his tour of the UKs best parks, he noticed that his weight was making him uncomfortable on rides, and he experienced aches from extensive time on his feet.

Speaking to LeicestershireLive, Herbert said: Id always struggled with my weight and at this point I was about 14-and-a-half stone. It wasnt just the rollercoasters I found it hard to be on my feet for a long time without my joints aching.

Motivated by his trip, Herbert lost an incredible three-and-a-half-stone within a year of kickstarting his weight loss journey.
