‘Mr Motivation’ hopes to become weight loss councillor

A MAN who lost 21 stone in just over a year is planning to become a weight loss counsellor after being inundated with calls from people looking to replicate his success.

Last year 36-year-old Cathal O’Shea, from Belgooly in Co Cork, weighed 35 stone and was so heavy he had to wash himself on a beach because he could not fit in a hotel shower.

However, just 12 months later the slimmed-down success story weighs just 14 stone, after a dieting regime of exercise and healthy food.
