Muckhart Fishmonger Sheds 12 Stone in 12 Months and Embarks on Charity Cycle Challenge

Lodged by Alexander Stewart Standard Motion 17 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament commends Iain Whyte from Muckhart, who shed 12 stone in a year and is undertaking a long-distance charity cycle challenge; acknowledges that the fishmonger wished to prove that it is never too late to make a change after he became frustrated with his weight at the age of 55; notes that he weighed 26.5 stone 12 months ago but that a change in diet and abstinence from alcohol enabled him to lose the extra weight at a steady pace; notes that Ian has always been a keen cyclist and is now able to tackle the 980 miles between Land's End and John o' Groats for the Prince's Trust; understands that he has already raised just under £1,500, and wishes him all the very best and every success with his outstanding challenge.
