The former TOWIE star reached 27st during lockdown and previously said he wanted to lose a total of 10st but now wants to shed 15st, more than half his previous body weight.
James reportedly hoped to ‘lose at least a stone every month between now and 2022’ and has enlisted the help of close friend and fitness fanatic Mark Wright.
Mark, 34, has told James ‘he can join him over the gym anytime he likes’.
A source told The Sun: ‘It’s a lot but he’s determined to do it because he is feeling so much healthier following his operation. He’s been getting a lot of support from Mark.’
The paper added that James has thrown out all of his size XXL clothing in a bid to keep himself motivated on his weight loss journey.
A pal told the paper: ‘James has never felt better in his life and the weight has dropped off far more quickly than he ever expected. It’s made him realise he can lose even more weight so he plans to just go for it.
‘The only downside is he is having to buy a whole new wardrobe. But he’s binning those items he no longer wears or which drown him so he’s not tempted to pile back on the pounds. James is making a change for life.’
The reality star’s next ambition is to swim the English channel and he also has hopes of running a marathon.
