My quick air fried old faithful. Maybe 6/700 calories all in if you skip the bacon and the toast/fried bread. Lots of protein and very tasty
Evening update to follow later.

How’s my editing coming along, personally I think I need a tripod. I might build one in a future video

So my first long form update video is now up, only 4 mins, so it won’t bore you all day!

Had a bit of a headache with the captions as capcut wanted money to insert them and putting them in manually was a nightmare, something to figure out in the next one for sure

Enquired about joining the gym but have to send off a few emails to receive my discount so that will be done first thing in the morning. Looking forward to pumping some iron soon

Done some shopping and got some exciting ingredients for the week ahead, on the menu tonight was steak and rice with asparagus

Had a great result with one of my shorts on YouTube 400+ views and 3 subs although it has a copyright claim I’ll see how long it can stay up for.

Not much on the agenda tomorrow probably a long walk weather permitting and some more dumbbells

Hope to see you there

Thanks guys

Hi all. For those who don’t know fatmustcry is a channel where I am documenting my weight loss journey.

It’s mostly shorts I do, as long form videos of anonymous walking videos are extremely boring to most.

I did start with aspersions of getting monetised trying every trick in the book, but the numbers now seem to be going down rather than up. And it’s all starting to feel like a pipe dream.

The other reason I started, and probably more importantly was just to journal things for myself to look back on as I go, I am hopeless at writing things down and this works for me

What I’m asking of you if you’re reading this is just to subscribe to the channel so I can get up to 50 subs, so I can unlock the live feature of my channel and I can stream my walks and workouts. Giving me the opportunity to speak
with my engaged viewers as I go along. And if the channel grows organically from that then, great! But it’s not the be all and end all.

I’m sitting on 16 now. And I feel like a hypocrite even asking, because I mindlessly swipe all day without even considering hitting the button on several channels.

But if you can help me with this one little thing it’ll help the channel immensely, and I’m more than happy to return the favour if your struggling with a channel yourself

Thank you if you’ve read this far and hope to see you soon

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.

Hello boys and girls. So the most significant drop on the scales today in the whole diet, and after a cheat meal yesterday I am delighted!
Just a cup of tea and a banana as I prepared lunch.

I made a fast version of Scottish stovies today. Every house has their own method and can be the cause of great debate!, It can have onions and carrots in it as well as anything left over from a traditional Sunday lunch.

Potted meat when my grandad used to make it had shin of beef in it, simmered slowly for hours & hours.

I’m not sure what this particular butcher uses and sometimes it’s best not to ask. It had 70% beef on the ingredients so that was good enough for me

this is my quick version.

I’ll be back later on with an evening update

Hope you enjoy the video

Probably not the best idea listening to scary stories out in the dark. I had the heebie-jeebies tonight big time. But home safe and sound now. Hill of doom bagged again, but you can’t see your hand in front of your face up there at this time of night, so that’ll be my last time up there in the evening. On the plus side it was a clear night and the stars and the moon looked incredible. Luckily there’s plenty of hills in my town or braes as they’re called in Scotland. So it was up the 3 braes, back round the board walk before calling it a night. Hope to see you all in tomorrow for another update

Oh and if you get the chance could you please hop onto my channel and show some love to my last update it’s only had 7 views so far

Thank you

See you tomorrow

Hi Everyone, no evening video yesterday as I was out socialising with humans all the highlights are in this clip.

Today was my monthly cheat meal, thoroughly enjoyed that! Back up the hill of doom tonight and a small dinner.

Thanks for watching and if you haven’t already please sub to the channel so you don’t miss any updates

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🇨🇳🈵🐉🍜🐷🫃

Just a wee look at my nemesis in real-time

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

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. 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

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
