41-year-old Mark Hannigan was morbidly obese.

It was causing health problems like sleep apnea — which caused him to fall asleep while driving at least once a day.

He had his license revoked after a coughing fit caused him to crash into a lamp post.

Weighing 294 lb., he was told he wouldn’t get his license back until his BMI went from 43 to 30.

They used to spend over $500 a week on food.

If they did buy something healthy, it was eventually thrown away.

His 42-year-old wife Louise was also obese, weighing 210 lb. and only standing 5’5″.

After Mark’s accident, they realized it was time both of them started making life changes.
