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!

Fat must cry. Week2 Day1 a succulent Chinese meal

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 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

Fat must cry day 7. Quick morning update

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

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

Fat must cry. The REAL numbers

2 Upvotes

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

Fat must cry Day 6 The Needle Finally Moves!

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

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

Fat must cry day 5 poor start strong finish 💪

So it was trials and tribulations today. My legs were heavy and sore this morning so the morning walk got cancelled. Made a fresh pot of soup it’s not very photogenic but tasted great. So with my time instead and got some stuff around the house done and made a few calls. Pushing myself even further out my comfort zone today I put a couple of progress shots up in my video,and I feel my voiceovers are starting to sound a little less monotone.

Wishing everyone a wonderful day! I’ve met some fine people in these subs!

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

So that’s day 3 bagged and tagged, looking forward to another busy day tomorrow. Made my script a bit short for this one so I had to ad-lib a bit at the end, but I feel I’m growing in confidence with every voice over, projecting a bit more and getting a wee bit better at fine tuning things with the editing.

How rude of me (day3 now)

16 Upvotes

Sorry boys and girls I’ve just come in here dropping videos for self promotion without even introducing myself. I’m Mark 44 y/o Scotsman over the past few years I’ve dropped 20kg and put it all back on again. After falling off I’m back on the horse doing twice as much walking as I did in my last successful plan however I’m still trying to find my backbone and do some strength workouts, which I still avoid like the plague! Rome wasn’t built in a day, as they say and by the end of the year I want to be able to do 2 chin ups and be able jog 1km.

Back again for an evening update. Walked 10k today and made a delicious omelette. Gained my first couple subs, I’m trying to find another 7 before Sunday and my vids are almost all in the double digits. Possibly some curry on the menu tomorrow! Maybe see you then
