With our Amazing Losers game on the horizon, we’re spending the days leading up to kick off meeting the lads who’ll be pulling on the shirts in this year’s game at Walsall FC. Our final case study sees us head to Harrogate to meet Dave Chapman from our club there!
Tell us more about your initial reasons for joining MAN v FAT
I was sat at home, watching Cheltenham Festival eating a pack of biscuits, whilst remembering when I used to ride racehorses. I later got on the scales before a shower and was shocked, embarrassed and disappointed I’d hit 21 stone, I knew I had to make some big changes.
If you could go back in time and talk to the version of you at the start of your weight loss efforts, what would you tell them about the changes you’ve experienced?
I’d tell myself, to enjoy the ride and look forward to a new me, a healthier me, new fiends who understand the journey.
Who would you like to thank for their help in your progress?
Coach Matt Stephenson has been amazing since he took over, team mates have been great, also my daughters and son have been very supportive over the journey, and many friends.
What are your future hopes around your health and wellbeing?
I’ve started Park Running most weeks. I’ve never been a runner in my life and it works out I’m okay at running actually! It’s really good for body and mind, and I’m in the best physical health I’ve probably been in my whole life,
How much are you looking forward to the game?
I can’t wait to play with an amazing team of inspirational individuals who have Also absolutely smashed their weigh loss journey, and also getting orders of Stuart Pearce is obviously a massive plus!
