Fit Factor finalists' weight loss revealed - GALLERY

IT'S been 12 weeks since our Fit Factor challengers began their incredible weight loss journey with fitness guru David Fairlamb. The Journal and Real Radio have been following the Active 8 every step of the way.

Police Officer Daniel Henderson from Windy Nook, Gateshead has been named the winner of the competition. The 37-year-old dad of two has lost just over four stone in 12 weeks going from 17st 11lbs to 13st 10lbs.

He said: “It’s certainly not finished. It was the kick start I needed. I’m so thankful for the opportunity.

12 weeks ago I was just lounging around at 18 stone and now I’m back training. I never ever thought I would get back to that position - so to do it in 12 weeks is just incredible. It’s given me a big chunk of my life back.”
