We’re so proud to showcase our Amazing Losers – the guys who have been there, done that and bought the 3XL t-shirt. Their weight loss transformations make for some really powerful weight loss before and after stories. There are before and after stories here of guys who have lost 100s of pounds, but also those guys who have worked just as hard to shift 20 pounds. There are stories of men battling physical and mental challenges in order to reach their goals.
We’ve also made sure that we have men from every part of the world, to reflect the fact that men and weight loss is truly a global challenge. If you feel alone in your battle against fat then reading through these profiles should help you to see that far from being on your own, you are actually part of a worldwide movement of men who simply want to take control of their own health, lose weight and get fitter.
One thing that unites all of these Amazing Losers is that they nearly always repeat the same piece of advice: if I can do it, you can do it. Have a read through their stories and see what it does for your motivation.
If you’re a guy who has lost weight and wants to share his story then you can contact us via our Twitter or Facebook pages or you can email jones@manvfat.com
