This week I'm chatting with Ross, one of our Gay Man's Coaching coaches who went from being overweight to coaching others through their own transformations.This isn't just another weight loss story. Ross opens up about the real stuff: avoiding the scale for over a decade, lying to himself about being "too busy", and thinking he needed to get in shape before joining a gym (yeah, we've all been there).We dig into what actually changed for him. Not just the pounds he lost, but the deeper work: stopping the people pleasing, asking for help for the first time, and finding a community where he actually felt like he belonged.If you've been putting things off, telling yourself you're not ready, or thinking "I'll start next week", this one's for you.What we cover:Why asking for help felt so shameful (and why that kept him stuck for years)The small daily habits that actually moved the needleHow structure sets you free instead of limiting youWhat made him decide to become a coachHis approach to helping clients who feel stuckQuick wins you can use today:Make your bed (seriously, it works)Go for a walk without your phoneTalk to someone about what's actually going onLINKS & EVENTS:🎟️ Edinburgh MAD Event - March 25-29, 2026 Our biggest Massive Action Day yet!
