Jacob Lost 20kg Without Stepping Foot In A Gym

Hello, my name is Jacob and I started my Man Shake journey in November, 2023 in New Zealand.

I always knew I was a big guy, but I never thought I had much of a problem. I wasn’t the only one in my family either. My Dad, Ross, was a big boy too. He thought that there was no way for him to lose weight and that surgery would be his only option. He tried to find any alternative to avoid being operated on. His weight was bringing him both physical and mental health problems.
He was watching an old Warriors NRL game on YouTube and an ad came on and it was The Man Shake. Dad did some research on it and ended up watching nearly every single Man Shake video on YouTube multiple times. He couldn't stop watching it!
Seeing the amazing progress and all the great reviews (plus knowing it was created by a former league player) Dad wanted to give it a go. He got amazing results in the very first week. This really spiked up his mental health and it was great to see him hopeful again. 

Two weeks later I jumped on the Man Shake too and together we began a shared weight loss journey. 
I stood on the scale for the first time in over a year. I knew it was going to be scary but I had to record my start weight. I wanted to change the way I both looked and felt. I was shocked to see 126.6kg on the scales. 

My first Man Shake was the Choc Honeycomb Crunch, and I was genuinely surprised by how good a weight loss supplement could taste. Oh, and it worked! In one week, I lost 2.6kgs and in six months I had lost 20kgs. All without even stepping into a gym. Once the results were coming stacking up I went back to League training with the hopes of getting back into shape.
Just recently I made a trip to the West Coast to play. And, I can proudly say, I played two games in one day! The only time I wasn't playing was the first couple minutes before the first game and the last couple minutes of the second game. I felt so good being able to keep up with the other boys and have my go. During the second game, I was able to get one of the few tries we made that day and ended up getting Man of the Match which felt incredible. Before my weight loss, this is something I simply wouldn’t have been able to do.

I am feeling so much better about myself since starting The Man Shake journey and am looking forward to seeing what else awaits. Seeing all the support people give each other on The Man Shakers Facebook group is so inspirational and its unmatched support lets the guys know they have people on their side. I used to have a huge sweet tooth when I started this journey and didn't know how I was going to cope. Now I don't know how I used to eat that naughty stuff so often. I don't struggle with not having sweet foods anymore.
