Awards wrap up and a huge milestone 🏆🔥
This week we have a huge milestone to celebrate, as well as catching up with a couple of members who were not at our recent end of season awards.
First up is the big one. Luke has recently become a BMI Boss! Reaching a healthy BMI is the ultimate goal of the MAN v FAT journey and a fantastic achievement that deserves huge praise from everyone at the club. Luke now becomes an inspiration for the rest of us to follow. Amazing work Luke 👏💪

The cat wrangler does it again. Richie adds another Players Choice award to his collection. His continued success in this category shows just how much he gives to the club. Well earned Richie 🐱👏

🏆 This week we have the end of season 14 awards, part two 🏆
First up are our three active BMI Bosses at the club. These are individuals who have achieved the incredible milestone of reaching a healthy BMI of 25. Kev Robey, John Jackson, and Max Parker have all achieved this during their time with us. An outstanding achievement and one that takes real commitment. Huge congratulations to all three 👏
Next up is our Coaches Choice Clubman for season 14. Jay Stepp received the most MotM nominations across the season and always brings a positive attitude into the weigh in room. Jay is also the only MAN v FAT member brave enough to sing his weekly tracking, and he never fails to put a smile on the faces of those around him 😄🎤
Next is Chris Hornbuckle of For Figs Sake, winners of both the combined league and the weight loss league for season 14. On top of those team honours, Chris has also gone on to achieve his personal 20% weight loss in the weeks since the new season began. Brilliant work Chris 💪
We then recognise two more members of the purple team. Dave Owen and Craig Frost join Chris as winners of the combined league and weight loss league for season 14. Also deserving a mention, though not pictured this time, is Conor Estop. Alongside winning the double with purple last season, Conor also claimed the league Biggest Loser award with an impressive 16% individual loss across the season.
