We are Iain Pope and Shaun Milne, two lardy Scottish lads who decided one day late in 2010 that the time had come to stop being quite so fat.
As the year drew to a close we did what countless others across Scotland and the world do at this time of year, we made a New Year resolution.
Our resolution is simple.
We have made a pledge to attempt to lose five stone.
Each.
We make no promise except to do our best to lose this weight, and that we will faithfully record every step of the way – good or bad - and share it with followers on this site.
The tools we will use will be our blogs here, photos, audio and video podcasts; we will also keep diet, exercise and weight diaries so anybody visiting this site can see exactly what we are doing.
If you’d like to see us discuss our motivation behind the project click here.
If you have an event you’d like us to take part in, a diet you think we need to try, or if you want to just offer us Two Fat Laddies a word of encouragement, drop us a line here.
Iain and Shaun
The Two Fat Laddies
UPDATE, January 2012: We initially hoped to achieve our goal by the end of 2011, but that wasn’t to be, so we have decided to carry on our quest in 2012. Please follow our journey to fitness.
I wish yous the very best of luck boys…im on somewhat of a health kick myself with a view to losing about 3-4 stone so i know where and what your going through…losing weight is natural for me but not nearly as natural as puting it on which blows…
so good luck…stroll on…getin there…break a leg…etc etc
heres to skinnydom sooner rather than later
Hi Shaun,
I do not believe we have ever met!, but my name is James McKay, and used to go to Sighthill Primary School, and remember wearing those same football strips as in your team picture. I was wondering if you could confirm if any of the team had a second name of Horsburgh (was goalie)? I recognise the coach as Jimmy McFarlane, and the lad seated in front of you as Scott Pattie.
Best regards,
James
