Hello everybody. So it was a big long walk tonight at a nice easy going pace. I did attempt another strength workout, managed 10 full form push-ups before my arms gave up, so still plenty of work to do there.

Done some pricing on the gym and because of my current work situation I get 60% off. So a monthly pass will only cost about 35p per day. With the swimming pool and sauna added extra cost the same again on top!

But can’t grumble at getting a gym and a swim for less than £1 a day,I’d be a fool not to go!

Found one of my dumbbells tonight dusty and covered with cobwebs. so my intention with them is to split the weights between 2 bags for life and try strengthening my arms that way, rather than them bearing the weight of my giant torso everyday doing press-ups.

Also now doing weekly weigh ins although I still check everyday I won’t be recording anything until a Sunday. Or maybe after I get home from a sauna 😉

Thanks for watching and I hope to see you again tomorrow!

Just hanging out with friends on Saturday but stuck to the walking and diet. Had a smash burger with no bun for breakfast and a baked potato for dinner. Uneventful day, but Scotland won the football so that was nice!

Hi guys. Not much of an update yesterday as I was out with a friend. Got my clips down to 8 secs, really bite sized, but I’ve noticed it’s really good for getting traffic.

Trying to push for 50 subs before the end of the year so I can go live with my walks and workouts. I no longer ask on my channel outside of the description box so we’ll see how that works. Longer form videos coming soon

It was a potato and pea omelette with 2 eggs and cottage cheese for bfast. Korean poke bowl for lunch and chicken and veg stew for dinner. It felt like a lot of volume so we shall see how it translates to the scales in due course

And I turned my walk tonight into a jog managed about 2.25km in 20mins although I did walk parts of it I’m sure I jogged the majority, also done a strength workout at lunch time, I’m still exhausted with just the warm up so a lot of work left to do there.

Hope to see you again tomorrow and please sub to the channel or like something as I humbly try enter this elusive algorithm

Cheers 🥂

!!!HAD TO RE-UPLOAD VIDEO IN COMMENTS!!!So stepped on the scales today with sore legs and the anticipation of seeing further loss only to be brought back down to reality with a bang, I was back where I started at the start of the week and it really gave my confidence a knock.

After posting my woes on reddit I got some really helpful words of advice and encouragement and it put some wind in my sails to keep carrying on and keep my chins up

Upon looking out the window I saw it was raining cats and dogs with a cold howling wind (Scotland for you!) I decided to put off my walk and any other exercise and just have a relaxing day and recharge the batteries.

But not too relaxing I’ve done some batch cooking, washed bedding and got my house in order followed by a bath.

When I got out the bath I had a sneaky wee look at the scales and I was back down to 14.2 so I basically threw my rattle out of the pram for nothing! Lesson learned there!

So it’s off to bed a lot more contented than I was this afternoon. Relaxed, recuperated and ready for whatever challenges tomorrow brings

Enjoy the video and I’ll see you tomorrow

So the scales are up, and the viewers are down. And the first thoughts of abandoning the diet and the channel have started to creep in. It seems the shorter the video the more views it gets, which makes it difficult to get everything I want into them, also making walking videos in the evening is proving to be a lost cause as the camera seems to pick up very little. At the moment I’m going to continue fighting on. But the format is going to have to change, probably from Monday onwards.

Over the weekend I’m going to be looking at how to make better thumbnails and make a better, more polished video.

Apologies for the pessimistic attitude today if you’ve been encouraging me. I may be down but I’m not out yet!
Thanks for watching

So after today’s triumphant step on the scales and tasty lunch. Things went south a little bit.

Managed a small strength workout, and after doing full pushups for the first time I ended up jumping into bed and just watching movies, and every fibre of my body just wanted to stay there the whole day.

Eventually around 4pm I dragged myself into the shower and went to the shop for more supplies. And after making my dinner I was under the duvet again.

After reminding myself why I’m doing this, and that I would feel shitty, guilty and defeated in the morning if I didn’t go out walking at least around the block, I pulled my big boy pants on and ended up doing a respectable 4.5km

Sometimes we have to run through brick walls to reach our goals. Today was definitely one of those days for me.

Just a quick one today. Scales were up this morning, however I was back to yesterday’s weight by the time I went for a shower just after my breakfast. Got a busy night tonight so the evening update will be in with the morning one as I am staying away from home this evening.

Poached eggs with cottage cheese on toast for breakfast and probably a shop bought pasta salad for dinner tonight.
Thanks for watching and I’ll catch up soon!

Fantastic start to the day. A 2lb drop on the scales, was followed by a mini body weight strength workout, roasted sweet potato with cottage cheese for lunch. Then I took a detour through the woods to add some extra steps onto my walk up to my parents house for some Chinese food with my brother and niece. I had one small bowl of Korean chicken with fried rice
And it’s back to the grind tomorrow, up the hill of doom and maybe cook up something nice
Hope to see you then
Thanks for watching!

Hello everybody. Week 2 off to the best possible start. 2lbs down and the sun is out.
Big test tonight! My parents are ordering Chinese food tonight and invited me round! So big walk beforehand taking the longest route possible and I should be ok for a spring roll!
Wish me luck🇨🇳🈵🐉🍜🐷🫃

There’s not 100 steps but thats what they are called round the town. But it’s another good hill to add to the route to build up some stamina

Just a wee look at my nemesis in real-time

Hello everyone. So thats the first week down. I have stuck to the diet everyday and have done a lot of exercises everyday as well including my first strength workout in about 30 years! I have reached my 10 subscriber goal for this week! and reached around nearly 400 views. I’m not sure if I’m going to set any goals this week if I do they will be a lot less than this week as it was hard going. Also I have opened an instagram account, a Facebook page and a TikTok account to try and get more traffic my way. I will be updating how they get on soon

Thank you for watching if you watched and follow so you don’t miss any updates
See you tomorrow for week 2 and maybe a strength sesh

Hello boys and girls. I’ve posted here a new video going over all the numbers and analytics from my first week on the fatmustcry channel.
It’s been a slow but steady week gaining 9 subs and around 300ish views.

To gain some further views I have opened an instagram and a Facebook page bearing the channels name with a TikTok maybe coming soon as well in the future. But I’m a YouTube and reddit type of guy first and foremost anyway so that’s where my focus is going to be.

I will post all the links in a future video or you could maybe find it in a google search if you type in fatmustcry. both pages are currently blank but content will be going up soon I promise

I have a community page over on fatmustcry. if you’re on a similar journey(or not) you are welcome to post there if you’re not getting any encouragement anywhere else you’ll certainly get it from me

So to wrap this up. if you’ve read this far, thank you as always. Only looking for 1 subscriber to hit my goal of 10 for the week, so please go over and have a look. Any criticism, suggestions or encouragement would be greatly appreciate

Have a lovely rest of your day

Hello boys and girls. Quick morning update for you.

The needle is back up to where we started. I’d like to think it’s from all the muscle I packed on after last nights strength workout! Wall sits are my new mortal enemy I’d rather do the hill of doom 10 times over!

Seriously though It’s likely water weight or undigested food working its way through my system, I fully trust the process and will continue to do so!

No subscribers throughout the night on my YouTube, I only require 1 more to hit my goal for the week of 10.

Only 14 hours until the deadline And I am at the point now where I am shamelessly exploiting my 2 cute little budgies without their consent.

Just look at their sad eyes, they want you here! And so do I! So please hit the button
And I’ll see you later on for this evenings update

Hi all 👋 delighted to say after a few frustrating days I’ve finally managed to shift a couple of pounds!
I am aware that there will be fluctuations and it probably will go up again with water weight and other variables but I trust the process. It’s just nice to see hard work starting to pay dividends.

On the video editing front I feel I am continuing to improve with my narration. My ad-libs need more work as you could probably turn the amount of times I say the word “so” as filler into a drinking game! But we live and we learn. And it’s no longer taking me 3 hours to edit one 3 minute short.

My youtube channels sitting on 9 subs. I’ve had a target of 10 since the start of the week. So please pop on over and hit the button I’ve only got 24 hours and 10 mins at the time of writing this!!
Strength workouts and some new walking locations coming in next week’s videos. So you’ll get to see me in pain if anything!

So I’m going to stop rambling and hope you enjoy the quick video.

Have a great day

Day 5 first bump in the road today. No movement on the scales and very heavy legs so I skipped the am walk with plans for an extended evening walk this evening. Used my time to make a nice pot of soup from ingredients around the house. And I’m going to treat myself to a bath this afternoon. Rest assured I won’t be filming that

Afternoon boys and girls. Just back from my morning walk and the fat was definitely crying today. It was a struggle this morning, I didn’t want to do it, I knew I’d set a goal of going up the steep hill this morning and in my mind I was backing out. A wee video here of a few highlights of the day

Day 2 update. Thank you to anyone who’s watched everything is going well

Made a channel to document my weight loss journey. I’m on my own at the minute, so just trying to draw some attention to it, I only started it yesterday! But I’m determined to push on
I’ll be uploading my fitness data from my watch, meals that I’m having. And my weight on the scales

I’d love it if I could interact with people who are trying to better themselves on a similar journey
