Obese man sheds 28.5st after bodybuilders he bullied help him train

Internet troll Jesse Shanda lost more than 28st after abusing body builders online - who then helped him lose weight.

Weighing a colossal 50st, the 28-year-old would bully people on the internet in an attempt to feel better about his weight.

From the safety of his mum's home, Jesse began abusing bodybuilders on an online forum. But after they asked to see a picture of him, they heaped him change his life forever.

Jesse said: "I would target anyone for my trolling, if someone was upset about a break up I might talk a lot about how great it is to be in a relationship.

"I was just doing anything I could do to further upset someone who was already devastated. It made me kind of get a laugh and feel better about my situation.

"I wanted to force my misery onto someone else - it meant I didn't have to think about my own terrible situation."

But after a group of fitness fanatics – who Jesse had targeted – decided to help him lose weight his whole life changed.

He said: "Some of the members started trying to talk me into believing I could lose weight. I had hundreds of excuses but they won't accept any of them.

"I said I was too fat to exercise but they said I could just sit in my chair and flop around to lose weight.

"So that's what I did - it was my first ever workout and by the time I was done I was tired and sweaty but it worked."
