John MacDonald, a Rangers supporter, says he was rushed to hospital after collapsing at his first weigh-in while following a weight-loss plan. The reports describe the incident as a suspected heart attack, with MacDonald needing urgent medical attention. Despite the scare, he continues with his efforts and later credits the experience as a turning point.
According to the account, MacDonald’s initial weigh-in happened when he was at about 28 stone. He later makes progress by losing 17 stone, taking his weight down significantly. The story is presented as an example of how a serious health event prompted him to change his approach and maintain a long-term commitment to weight loss.
The two sources provide the same core details: the collapse during the first weigh-in, the suspected heart attack and hospital treatment, and the subsequent weight reduction of 17 stone. The reports do not include additional medical findings or specific ongoing treatment information beyond the hospital response and his later success.
