Why did I join Tubby FC.

I joined the team as I was at my heaviest weight I have ever been and didn’t like what I could see in the mirror. My confidence was shot and struggling with depression. I was so up and down with my life. Plus I wanted to become a part of a team.

How this group has helped me.

Through this group I now do at least an hours exercise every week. When we either train or play. I have also got my act together and try run or walk almost every evening after I finish work. I have also became a lot more aware of what I am eating. In doing this I have managed to be the biggest loser twice in a row and have lost over 2.5 stone so far.

On another note I have lived on the estate for almost 9 years and I feel I have made more friends in the last 3 months because of the team. The best thing is we all have the same things in common. Football, mental health and weight.

Since joining the TubbyFC project. It has had a positive affect on my mental health. All the players and volunteered staff are extremely welcoming.

 

I joined tubby fc at the beginning of October. What a fantastic set up and welcoming group of people. My reason due joining up is a weight issue. I struggle to motivate myself at the gym but enjoy football.

‘I joined up as its been a tough year or two between having a baby in the last year and working in the critical care environment at the hospital during Covid has mentally and physically drained me. I struggle to get motivated to exercise and have put on a lot of weight. Jumped at the chance to join Tubby FC as I want a fun and positive environment to help shift weight and make new friendships.’
