Mr Belmont vowed to lose weight after describing himself as a 'dead man walking'
A man who weighs 34 stone has finally decided to lose weight after doctors were unable to detect his heart beat - because he was so FAT.
Alan Belmont, 24, was shocked when doctors told him they could not find his pulse despite using a stethoscope and even an ultra-sound machine.
Doctors told him the hospital's machines were not powerful enough to penetrate his thick layer of blubber.
Medics eventually found a weak pulse under his arm and were able to give him a reading.
But the experience shocked Mr Belmont, who wears a staggering XXXXXL clothing, into losing weight.
Mr Belmont, from Worcester, has set himself the incredible target of losing 20 STONE - nearly half his body weight.
He said: 'I went to the hospital recently and they told me they couldn't find my heart and I thought to myself "I'm a dead man walking."
'They could not even find it using an ultra sound, which is what they use on pregnant women.
'I was quite embarrassed when the doctors said they couldn't find my pulse. It suddenly hit me that I had to make a drastic change to my life and lose weight.
'When I get in cars I can't get the seatbelt on so I would like to get myself fit. I would just like to be a normal person again.'
Make this boy go one year vacation for Somalia where 'im no go see McDonald or Burger King, I tell you, every other fat kid go dey go there for pilgrimage.
