# Coronation Street Star Reveals He Shed 10 Stone with One Simple Change
**Colson Smith opened up about his impressive weight loss journey.**
Colson Smith, known for his role in *Coronation Street*, disclosed that he successfully lost 10 stone after making a significant alteration to his lifestyle. He emphasized the importance of running in this transformation. Initially, from his first run until May, he focused solely on weight loss, but he eventually discovered a deeper motivation for running beyond just shedding pounds.
Smith shared his challenging experiences with bullying during his school years and the scrutiny he faced due to his appearance. "I got a hard time at school. I got a hard time for my job, and a hard time for the way I looked, so it was the worst of both worlds," he remarked. This struggle pushed him to make a change that would ultimately improve his health and well-being.
Reflecting on his journey, Colson noted, "I don't know how long it took me to decide that I was now a runner. Every run until at least May was for the benefit of losing weight, but then something clicked and it wasn't about that any more." His commitment to this new passion has had a profound impact not only on his weight but also on his overall outlook on life.
