Finding the time to lose weight is not easy especially if you have children.

This postman and father of three, however, has made his delivery round part of his workout routine.

Dan Jones from Gloucestershire now jogs four miles of his round in preparation for his post-work exercise routine.

When he decided to make his lifestyle change, he had a huge 44" inch waist and would wear XXXL t-shirts and jumpers.

As well as running he swapped his unhealthy food for protein bars, salads and sandwiches.

Mr Jones said:‘Jogging my post round definitely helps. It’s a very physical job. It’s an extra workout for me.

‘You have to drive to get to it but once I am there I will always walk or jog round all the houses.

‘It’s in the afternoon so I can go training afterwards.’

Mr Jones added:‘I have three children and it’s nice to be able the play with them. I feel really good all of the time.

‘They do prefer me like this. I actually tease them sometimes saying that I am going to go and eat a load of food.

‘At that point the kids will be like ‘no daddy, we don’t want you being fat.’

Not many dogs are going to be able to catch this postman…
