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. Next, it’s James Martin from our Warrington club!
Tell us more about your initial reasons for joining MAN v FAT
Weight loss, accountability, football. In that order.
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?
If I could go back to the beginning, I’d tell myself this: you have no idea how powerful you’re about to become. This journey will demand everything from you… discipline, sacrifice, consistency! but it will give you something far greater in return: complete control over your life. You’ll stop making excuses. You’ll stop doubting yourself.
You’ll build a mindset that refuses to quit, no matter how hard it gets. Losing weight won’t just transform your body, it will transform your standards, your confidence, and the way you face every challenge that comes your way. One day you’ll look back and realise this wasn’t just weight loss. This was the moment you decided to take your life back, and you did.
Who would you like to thank for their help in your progress?
My mum, my sister, who was my real inspiration to make a change, good friends Mike and Brian who pushed me consistently, Dan, JP and Al Robbo at Warrington MAN v FAT.
What are your future hopes around your health and wellbeing?
Maintain, become fitter, faster and stronger overall. I look forward to enjoying life for the first time in a long time!
How much are you looking forward to the game in May?
It’s an extremely good motivation for me to get as fit as possible in preparation, i cannot wait to see what the game holds.
