Unislim’s Man the Year 2015 – John Kelly

John Kelly from Shannon,  is no longer watching life from the sideline – he now is playing centre forward and ready to play ball at the Unislimmer Of The Year finals having lost an incredible 4 stone.

“I was tired of being that ‘fat fella’’” –  and just like that, John’s decision was made as a New Years Resolution in January 2014.

“Before Unislim, my daily diet wasn’t good. I’d have a breakfast roll to start the day, then a big main dinner that my wife Louise would prepare in the middle of the day. Then dinner, and chocolate or whatever until bed time”.  John, although an avid sports fan, found that his energy levels were zapped constantly and once he got home from a busy day at work, he would eat in bed – sometimes texting his family downstairs asking them to bring him food to the bedroom.  Enough was enough.

John’s sister had started Unislim in Shannon, so he decided to go along with her.  The Unislim plan was an instant success.  John now says he actually eats more food than he did before Unislim, but he eats the right kind of food now.  From being prepared and having meals ready, to making simple swap.

The biggest change in John’s new life, though, has been the introduction of exercise. “I started with walking, then after a few weeks, added a bit of running. Now, I’m up to 37k each week.” There is no stopping him – and he is loving life!

John was so inspired by his personal weight loss journey with Unislim that he is now putting it to good use by spurring men like him on to take the first steps to improving their health, with his own Unislim Men Only Classes in Bunratty and Castletroy.

John was crowned Male Unislimmer of the Year on 18th April 2015.
