Aaron Walker, from Doncaster, says he could not manage the walk to the main stage in 2021.
A music lover has returned to Leeds Festival having lost 14 stone , after he was too out of breath to see his favourite band on his last visit.
The Doncaster mortgage underwriter told the BBC he felt "embarrassed and anxious" after he watched his friends go off to watch the Two Door Cinema Club without him because he was too tired to walk. He joined Slimming World a few months after Leeds Festival and has gone from 26st 7lbs to 12st 10lbs - adding he is still not done.
His family are "very proud" of his weight loss and his university friends do not recognise him, Mr Walker said.
