FAT MAN CLUB

Great to get another kilt walk done this year. I wanted to put a final shout out to Perry. He’s been smashing it, training hard in preparation for this walk and managed to lose 35kg in the process (and I know he’s not done yet💪)

Unfortunately he injured his hand so he couldn’t manage the drive up from Nottingham. But he still managed to do a 18mile walk by himself. 🫡

All the guys put an absolute shift in. We managed to raise about £600 for so thanks to everyone who sponsored us.❤️

Till the next time

I haven’t posted anything in a long time and it’s got a few people asking if I’m still doing fat man club. Absolutely 💯 percent, i just took a step back from socials to concentrate on changing job and refocus my priorities/time to the members I had.

Bit late posting this but here is the progress some of the guys made in 2023.🤙

Are you still feeling a bit fat after Xmas?Are you a man? Then come join the club!!

Fat Man Club January weigh is tonight, 7pm Danestone Church or 8pm, Newmachar scout hut.

Happy international men’s day to all the guys making a difference to their family’s, friends and communities. Especially to the members of Fat Man Club!

A collection of fine men who all push each other to become the healthiest versions of ourselves. 🫡

REMINDER FOR TONIGHT
Monthly weigh in at Danestone church 7pm

Then newmachar scout hut at 8pm

FAT MAN CLUB monthly weigh ins are back next Tuesday!!!

With the dark nights coming in, it gives the guys a chance to get a quick weigh in. Then we go through some discussion points on health, fitness and diet. Finish off by going through the monthly fitness challenge. Where points are awarded to the guys who go out and get the job done.

It’s laid back, nothing too serous and a great chance to be around like minded men who are trying to introduce healthier habits, shift some weight and create a more positive mindset.

If anything, good to get out the house and get talking. Amazing what the power of conversation can do for you and the people around you.

Great to get out today with the lads, we got a beautiful day for it.

Always feels good to get out moving and talking in the fresh air. A lot of lads have made some serious progress since i started Fat Man Club. Some have run into some tough times and big hurdles to overcome.

But Together we all help and support each other to get there, no matter what goals or aspirations we have.

#2023

One of our members Andy C taking it to a whole new level. 🔥

He was “FMC elite” when he joined but he’s proving he’s worthy of that division!!

He’s been smashing his monthly challenges and applying a strong emphasis on time restricted eating.

Fasting isn’t a magic pill but it’s a handy tool to apply in certain situations. In Andy’s case where food quality was poor while he was working away offshore.

Not only is he pushing himself he is also motivating & encouraging other members to improve.

Top work and let’s hope he can continue doing what he’s doing.

Question is…..can he maintain while he’s home!! 😜

FAT MAN CLUB

Just one last thank you to everyone that has donated money towards

We have now raised a total of £650 which is absolutely amazing and so much more than I anticipated. The grand total from all participants is about £350,000!!!!!

I Want to also thank and for doing it with me. They’ve put in an absolute shift getting all 3000 done.🫡

There was a group chat set up for everyone taking part and it was a massive inspiration and a constant reminder why it was so important to complete this challenge. So many people are affected by cancer. There were heartbreaking stories to read and an example of how fortunate some of us are. Really hit home and kept me going every single day.

We will get a bigger squad in next year and raise the roof for this great charity. ❤️

#100


Exercise has seen me through some tough times in the past 100 days. On the days I felt low, I came out with a stronger mind, on the days I couldn’t be bothered I just did something small to keep momentum. It wasn’t about becoming fitter or hitting records. it was about overcoming resistance and making exercise a bigger part of my life and identity.

Of course there are tremendous physical benefits to gain but exercise drives you to healthier eating choices, builds confidence and helps create a more positive mindset.

My mindset slowly improved day by day, week by week. And while I haven’t made massive improvements in appearance, strength or running times. I did gain the confidence to enter my first charity challenge and so far we have raised £290!!! Which is awesome, so thank you guys ❤️


Also good meet tonight, 2 new members signed up raring to go. Next one Tuesday 6th November 🤙

🥁🥁🥁 The grand total is climbing up... you have raised an INCREDIBLE £291,210!!!

This is amazing, thank you so much for all of your hard work so far. We can't wait to see what the final total is going to be! 🤩

If everyone in this group raised another £5 we would hit over £350,000!

🥰THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU 🥰
