How did Colson lose weight?

Colson said that he made a number of changes to his lifestyle during lockdown.

Speaking to the Metro in May, Colson discussed about how he fell in love with running, transforming his body and mindset in the process.

“When I first started it was purely to lose weight and in the first two months I probably hated every run I went on.

“I did it because it was going to benefit me for the rest of my life.

“In my head, every run was going to make me less fat,” he said.

“Then what I learned was that the runs were the only time in the day I had for me.”

He then joined ITV fitness competition The Games.

Although Wes Nelson was crowned the show’s winner, fans fell in love with Colson and his go-getter attitude.

Colson’s weight loss continues to impress.
