Still too fat?
A 5 live listener who was told he was too fat to adopt has lost 19lbs in three weeks.
Damien Hall's 24.5-stone weight made him morbidly obese and Leeds City Council told him to slim before it could consider him for adoption.
(Picture shows Damien before his diet with Victoria (left) and his wife Charlotte.)
After taking drastic action with his diet, Damien told Victoria he's on his way to his goal weight and the council should allow the couple to start proceedings.

Louisa,
How much more weight does this council wants him to lose before he and his wife can adopt this child?

The doctors have told him he needs to lose another 6 or 7 lb (25lb in total). We've just heard from Charlotte that when he was weighed last night he'd lost another 6lb so it sounds like he might not be that far off his target.
