FORMER fast food fan Shaine Tench has taken up window cleaning in a bid to lose weight after tipping the scales at 28st.
Shaine, 25, set about slimming down because he started fearing for his health.

At his worst the ex-takeaway worker was scoffing an entire tub of cookie dough ice cream, two pizzas and three litres of Coca Cola a day.
Shaine who has to clean low level windows because he is too heavy for the ladders admitted: Fast food was destroying my life.
I had it in my head that it was going to kill me.
I realised Id never seen a fat window cleaner.
Theyre always slim and healthy looking, so I thought it would be a great way to lose weight.
Shaine, of Crewe, Cheshire, joined his brothers business A Star Window Cleaning last year.
He said: I believe Im the fattest window cleaner in Britain.
I work with other guys who are much slimmer than me, who can go up the ladders and clean the higher-up windows. Its my dream to be able to do that.
Reflecting on his past, he said Ive spent all my life working in fast food restaurants, meaning I kept piling on weight.
During a shift, Id eat two large pizzas, wedges, chicken strips, and up to three litres of Coke each day. And then I would eat an entire tub of cookie dough ice cream in the space of 15 minutes.
Shaine said he was initially too big to wear a proper window cleaners belt.
He said: I had to get creative and make my own. I ordered a 22in leather belt from Jacamo and added clips I could attach my tools to.
I received some nasty comments on Facebook about people not wanting a fat window cleaner because they didnt think Id be up to the job. It made me want to prove them wrong.
I was 28st and Im now 26st 5lb.
"Id need to lose another 8st to safely go up the ladders, but Im confident I will get there one day.
"I feel great and I am getting fitter.
